Risk Factors
- • ACC/FERC dual regulatory exposure: ACC can reopen and modify final orders; FERC penalties up to ~$1.2M per day per violation under Energy Policy Act of 2005
- • Trump administration tariffs and 2025 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on IEEPA tariff validity creating cost uncertainty; supply chain delays compounding equipment procurement risks

- • AI/data center load growth highly uncertain; slower-than-projected ramp-up risk where 1% variation in residential/small commercial kWh sales shifts net income ~$25M annually
