Chief Executive Officer

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

As the groundswell of public support for clean energy grows, Con Edison is
addressing this urgent societal need. Because we operate one of the world’s largest
and most reliable energy delivery systems, our work is critical to New York’s ability to
deliver on its promise of a cleaner future.

Building on our foundation of safety, operational excellence, and the customer
experience, our company made significant progress toward our clean energy goals
this past year. We continued investing in our energy systems to allow for an influx of
clean energy and growing demand from customers choosing to electrify their
heating and transportation. This work supports the state’s ambitious climate agenda
and New Yorkers as they transition away from fossil fuels.

In 2024, we’re advancing our bold plans while we continue to provide world-class
reliability to our dynamic metropolis. We’re building infrastructure to connect cleaner
sources of electricity to the grid. And we’re reimagining our gas system and working
to deeply reduce carbon in our steam system.

Our recently approved investment plans for electric, gas, and steam, as well as the
sale of our Clean Energy Businesses, give us a solid balance sheet and strong
growth opportunities.

Shareholders continue to gain value from our agile and disciplined management.
Our annualized dividend has increased to $3.32 per share, an 8-cent gain over
2023. That’s 50 years in a row of rising dividends.

As we go forward, New Yorkers, particularly those in disadvantaged communities,
are counting on us to advocate for their interests. Their needs for affordable energy
and a healthier environment remain integral to our work. Now is the time for action
so that we can all share a more sustainable world.

20402050USHERING IN THE CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

There’s no doubt climate change and our region’s legislative policies require us to be
innovative and nimble. We must act swiftly. Our Clean Energy Commitment focuses us
on the areas we need to transform now to meet the state’s carbon-reduction targets.
By thinking wholistically—about everything from electric vehicle chargers to transmission
lines—we’ll be ready. We are designing and building a next-generation electric grid that
can deliver 100% clean energy by 2040 in support of New York State’s goal.

We envision investing $29 billion in our systems from 2024 to 2028.

Build the Grid of the Future

Customer adoption of electric heating and EVs will drastically increase electricity use.
Indeed, we anticipate our peak electric demand to increase 45 to 85% by 2050 and
we’ll need to invest in the grid to provide the resilient, reliable service our customers
expect and deserve.

We envision investing $29 billion in our systems from 2024 to 2028.

“

Adoption of electric heating and EVs

will drastically increase electricity use.

We’ll make about $29 billion worth of capital investments from 2024 through 2028 in
our Con Edison and O&R territories. This past year, we broke ground on a project for
continued reliability in Brooklyn and Queens that will serve as a future interconnection
point for offshore wind. We also celebrated the completion of a transmission line in
Queens that will help us connect renewable resources to the grid and allow the closure
of fossil fuel-burning plants. Another project will see us invest in the area near John F.
Kennedy International Airport to support reliability for homes, businesses, and major
transportation hubs.

Ensuring clean energy can be dispatched when needed is paramount for reliability;
the value of battery storage will only increase. In 2023, we brought online a 7.5-MW
energy-storage system on Staten Island, the largest such project in New York City. Our
recently approved investment plan authorizes more utility-owned battery storage in
support of New York State’s climate goals.

Con Edison Annual Report 2023Con Edison Transmission, which owns the largest share in the New York Transco,
provides additional investment opportunities. Last year, we received regulatory
authorization for a project that will strengthen the reliability and resilience of the grid
and allow more than 3,000 MW of new offshore wind to connect by 2030.

Besides being ready for an influx of clean energy, the grid of the future will need
to withstand ever more extreme weather. New York City is facing rising sea levels,
increased rainfall, and soaring temperatures with major climate shifts coming by the
2030s. That’s why we developed a follow-up to our original climate resiliency and
adaptation plan, which industry experts hailed as the “gold standard.” Our new
climate change resilience plans call for investing about $1.3 billion more in climate
resiliency by 2030. We’ve proposed burying overhead wires to limit storm damage,
installing additional submersible equipment, and constructing a new state-of-the-art
storm resilience center to reduce outage and recovery times.

Physical security and cybersecurity are vital to our infrastructure and our customers.
We continue to enhance our cyber defenses through people, processes, and
technology. We’ve tightened access to our critical facilities and collaborated with
government, law enforcement, and energy sector partners to further protect the
grid. We’ve also heightened awareness among our employees about external factors
such as geopolitical unrest and terrorism.

We continuously evolve our grid operations. Last year, we upgraded numerous tech
applications that better integrate our backend systems to create more operational
efficiencies and enhance customer service. Those efforts, along with the installation of
more than 5 million smart meters, will benefit all our stakeholders as we go forward.

Empowering All Customers to Meet Climate Goals

Energy efficiency is the cornerstone of the clean energy future. Since 2009, our rebates
and incentives have helped more than 6 million customers upgrade their lighting,
heating, and cooling systems. The work is equivalent to taking more than 3 million
gasoline vehicles off the road.

“

Energy efficiency is the cornerstone of

the clean energy future.

Today, we offer customers deeper and wider ways to save energy. We’ll have invested
$2.2 billion from 2020 to 2025 in energy efficiency incentives. And we’re aiming to triple
the size of our heating electrification programs and double the size of our weatherization

427298_Annual Report-2023_Final_0309_NARR_R1.indd 6

programs from current levels by 2030. These efforts will allow our customers to make
the clean energy transition efficiently and affordably.

At the same time, we’re preparing the grid for an ever-increasing number of EVs on
the road, so customers can charge when and where they want. And with 40% of plugs
already installed in our territory within one mile of traditionally underserved communities,
we’re helping ensure every New Yorker can participate in the clean energy transition.
We’ll also more than double the funding for incentives for developers to install chargers.
And to meet the future needs of electric transportation, we’ve engaged with fleet
operators to understand their longer-term electrification plans so we can ensure our
infrastructure is there to support them when and where they’re ready.

Distributed energy resources like customer rooftop solar installations and battery
storage projects will be essential to the clean energy transition. That’s why we are
helping customers to connect their systems to ours. Nearly 80,000 customer-owned
solar projects and more than 1,100 customer-owned battery storage systems now
work with our grid.

Con Edison Annual Report 2023Reimagining the Gas System

Our 1.3 million gas customers rely on us for heating, hot water, and cooking. We remain
focused on providing them with safe, reliable, and efficient service while transitioning to
the clean energy future.

“

Our 1.3 million gas customers rely on us

for heating, hot water, and cooking.

Our longer-range plans call for reducing gas consumption by increasing energy
efficiency of buildings and appliances and providing customers who use gas with
alternative heating options. For hard-to-electrify customers, we support options to
procure a portfolio of low-carbon fuels, including renewable natural gas. We’re also
performing innovative leak detection and repairs on our system.

Reducing Carbon in Our Steam System

Our steam system can play a critical role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Buildings that use fossil fuels for heat, hot water, and cooking need to act fast or face
city fines for not switching to cleaner energy. Converting to electricity is one option.
Moving to steam service is another.

“

Our steam system can play a critical role.

We’re identifying the best technologies to reduce carbon in the system and are now
studying how and when to implement them as we aim for net-zero Scope 1 emissions
from our operations by 2050. Our new steam investment plan sets new rates for steam
service for the first time in 10 years. It provides funding for studies and technologies
to reduce carbon in our system and includes a new weather adjustment clause that
reduces volatility of revenues.

collaborating with manufacturers to advance design for medium- and heavy-duty EVs.

Protecting our environment also means protecting biodiversity, which provides
communities with cleaner air and healthier soil. We’re safeguarding pollinator habitats
along transmission lines, converting manicured lawns into native vegetation, and
partnering with researchers to measure the potential for future biodiversity projects in
our territory.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Introduction

This introduction contains certain information about Con Edison and its subsidiaries, including CECONY. This
introduction is not a summary and should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the
more detailed information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this report.

Con Edison’s mission is to provide energy services to our customers safely, reliably, efficiently and in keeping with
our vision for a clean energy future; to provide a workplace that embraces diversity and inclusion and allows
employees to realize their full potential; to provide a fair return to our investors; and to improve the quality of life in
the communities we serve. The company has ongoing programs designed to support each component of its
mission, including initiatives focused on safety, operational excellence and the customer experience.

Con Edison is a holding company that owns:

•

Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (CECONY), which provides electric service and gas service in
New York City and Westchester County and steam service in parts of Manhattan;

• Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc., which along with its New Jersey electric utility subsidiary, Rockland Electric
Company (together referred to herein as O&R), provides electric service in southeastern New York and
northern New Jersey and gas service in southeastern New York (O&R, together with CECONY referred to as
the Utilities); and
Con Edison Transmission, Inc., which through its subsidiaries, invests in electric transmission projects
supporting Con Edison’s effort to transition to clean, renewable energy and through joint ventures manages
both electric and gas assets while seeking to develop electric transmission projects (Con Edison Transmission,
Inc., together with its subsidiaries referred to as Con Edison Transmission).

•

Con Edison anticipates that the Utilities, which are subject to extensive regulation, will continue to provide
substantially all of its earnings over the next few years. The Utilities have approved rate plans that are generally
designed to cover each company’s cost of service, including capital and other costs of each company’s energy
delivery systems. The Utilities recover from their full-service customers (who purchase energy from them), generally
on a current basis, the cost the Utilities pay for energy and charge all of their customers the cost of delivery service.
See "Utility Regulation" in Item 1, "Risk Factors" in Item 1A and "Rate Plans" in Note B to the financial statements in
Item 8.

Significant Developments and Outlook
•

Con Edison reported 2023 net income of $2,519 million or $7.25 a share compared with $1,660 million or $4.68
a share in 2022. Adjusted earnings were $1,762 million or $5.07 a share in 2023 compared with $1,620 million
or $4.57 a share in 2022. See “Results of Operations” in Item 7 and “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” below.

•

In 2023, the Utilities invested $4,379 million to upgrade and reinforce their energy delivery systems and Con
Edison Transmission invested $49 million primarily in electric transmission. For 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and
2028, the Utilities expect to invest $4,822 million, $5,212 million, $5,879 million, $5,874 million and $5,867
million, respectively, for their energy delivery systems and Con Edison Transmission expects to invest $27
million, $31 million, $108 million, $113 million and $119 million, respectively, primarily in electric transmission.
See "Capital Requirements and Resources - Capital Requirements" in Item 1.

Con Edison plans to meet its capital requirements for 2024 through 2028 through internally-generated funds
and the issuance of long-term debt and common equity. See “Capital Requirements and Resources - Capital
Requirements” in Item 1. Con Edison's plans include the issuance of up to $3,250 million of long-term debt in
2024 and up to $1,000 million of long-term debt in 2025, including for maturing securities, at the Utilities and
approximately $6,000 million in aggregate of long-term debt, including for maturing securities, at the Utilities
during 2026 through 2028. Except for equity issued under its dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase
and long-term incentive plans, Con Edison does not plan to issue common equity in 2024 and plans to issue
common equity of approximately $1,300 million in 2025 and up to $2,800 million in aggregate during 2026
through 2028. Con Edison’s estimates of its capital requirements and related financing plans reflect information
available and assumptions at the time the statements are made and include, among other things, the
assumptions that Con Edison’s non-utility gas transmission investments remain unchanged through 2028 and
the Utilities’ forecasted capital investments and financing plans through 2028 are approved by the New York
State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC). Actual developments and the timing and amount of funding may
differ materially.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

•

CECONY forecasts average annual increase in peak demand in its service area at design conditions over the
next five years for electricity to be approximately 0.7 percent and an average annual decrease in gas and
steam peak demand in its service area at design weather conditions over the next five years to be
approximately 0.8 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively. O&R forecasts an average annual increase in electric
peak demand in its service area at design conditions over the next five years to be approximately 2.0 percent
and average annual decrease in gas peak demand in its service area over the next five years at design
conditions to be approximately 0.2 percent. See “The Utilities” in Item 1.

In March 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc.
(the “Clean Energy Businesses”). See Note W and Note X to the financial statements in Item 8.

In June 2023, the New York Independent System Operator selected the Propel NY Energy transmission project
that was jointly proposed by New York Transco LLC (New York Transco) and the New York Power Authority.
Con Edison Transmission owns a 41.7 percent interest in New York Transco’s share of the Propel NY Energy
project, a 90-mile electric transmission project with an in-service date of 2030. See "Con Edison Transmission,"
below.

During the second quarter of 2023, construction of New York Transco’s New York Energy Solution (NYES)
project to relieve transmission congestion between upstate and downstate was completed. Construction of the
associated Dover Station, an additional network upgrade to support the NYES project, has not been completed.
Con Edison Transmission owns a 45.7 percent interest in NYES. See "Con Edison Transmission," below.

In July 2023, the NYSPSC approved the February 2023 joint proposal among CECONY, the New York State
Department of Public Service (NYSDPS) and other parties for electric and gas rate plans for the three-year
period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025. See "Rate Plans” in Note B to the financial statements in
Item 8.

In November 2023, the NYSPSC approved the September 2023 joint proposal among CECONY, the NYSDPS
and other parties for a steam rate plan for the three-year period November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2026
that includes, among other provisions, a weather normalization adjustment to reflect normal weather conditions
during the heating season. See "Rate Plans” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

In November 2023, CECONY and O&R filed petitions with the NYSPSC for approval to make long-term
investments of $903 million and $411 million, respectively, between 2025 and 2029 to protect their electric
systems from climate change. See “Clean Energy Future,” below.

In January 2024, O&R filed a request with the NYSPSC for electric and gas rate increases of $18.1 million and
$14.4 million, respectively, effective January 2025. See "Rate Plans" in Note B to the financial statements in
Item 8.

In January 2024, the NYSPSC approved CECONY's August 2023 petition requesting authorization and cost
recovery to construct two new substations in Jamaica, Queens (the Reliable Clean City - Idlewild Project) with
an estimated cost of $1,200 million and an estimated in-service date of May 2028. See "Rate Plans" in Note B
to the financial statements in Item 8.

The NYSPSC continued its focused operations audit of the Utilities related to income tax accounting. The audit
is investigating the Utilities’ inadvertent understatement of a portion, the amount of which may be material, of
their calculation of total federal income tax expense for ratemaking purposes. The understatement was related
to the calculation of plant retirement-related cost of removal. See "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the
financial statements in Item 8.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that are intended to qualify for the safe-harbor provisions of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Forward-looking statements are statements of future expectation and not facts. Words such as
"forecasts," "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "plans," "will," "target," "guidance,"
"potential," "consider" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements
reflect information available and assumptions at the time the statements are made, and accordingly, speak only as
of that time. Actual results or developments might differ materially from those included in the forward-looking
statements because of various factors including, but not limited to, those discussed under “Risk Factors,” in Item
1A.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are financial measures that are not determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income for common stock or net income per share,
respectively, each of which is an indicator of financial performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted
earnings and adjusted earnings per share exclude from net income for common stock and net income per share,
respectively, certain other items that the company does not consider indicative of its ongoing financial performance.
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate the analysis of the company's financial
performance as compared to its internal budgets and previous financial results and to communicate to investors and
others the company’s expectations regarding its future earnings and dividends on its common stock. Management
believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are also useful and meaningful to investors to facilitate their
analysis of the company's financial performance. The following table is a reconciliation of Con Edison’s reported net
income for common stock to adjusted earnings and reported earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share.

PART I

Item 1: Business

Overview
Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison), incorporated in New York State in 1997, is a holding company that owns all
of the outstanding common stock of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (CECONY), Orange and
Rockland Utilities, Inc. (O&R) and Con Edison Transmission, Inc. As used in this report, the term the “Companies”
refers to Con Edison and CECONY.

O&R

• RECO

Con Edison
Transmission

Con Edison’s principal business operations are those of CECONY, O&R and Con Edison Transmission. CECONY’s
principal business operations are its regulated electric, gas and steam delivery businesses. O&R’s principal
business operations are its regulated electric and gas delivery businesses. Con Edison Transmission invests in
electric transmission projects and manages both electric and gas assets while seeking to develop electric
transmission projects. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy
Businesses and therefore 2023 reflects the financial results for the two months ended February 2023. See Note W
and Note X to the financial statements in Item 8.

Con Edison seeks to provide shareholder value through continued dividend growth, supported by earnings growth in
regulated utilities and contracted electric transmission assets. The company invests to provide reliable, resilient,
safe and clean energy critical for its New York customers. Con Edison is a responsible neighbor, helping the
communities it serves become more sustainable.

CECONY
Electric
CECONY provides electric service to approximately 3.7 million customers in all of New York City (except a part of
Queens) and most of Westchester County, an approximately 660 square mile service area with a population of more
than nine million.

Gas
CECONY delivers gas to approximately 1.1 million customers in Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and most of
Westchester County.

Steam
CECONY operates the largest steam distribution system in the United States by producing and delivering
approximately 15,444 MMlb of steam annually to approximately 1,530 customers in parts of Manhattan.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

O&R
Electric
O&R and its utility subsidiary, Rockland Electric Company (RECO) (together referred to herein as O&R) provide
electric service to approximately 0.3 million customers in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey, an
approximately 1,300 square mile service area.

Gas
O&R delivers gas to over 0.2 million customers in southeastern New York.

Con Edison Transmission
Con Edison Transmission owns a 45.7 percent interest in New York Transco LLC (New York Transco), a New York
limited liability company that was formed in November 2014 by affiliates of the four investor-owned electric utilities in
New York, including Con Edison Transmission, to develop and own new electric transmission projects for the New
York bulk electric system. Con Edison Transmission’s ownership interest in New York Transco is comprised of: (1) a
45.7 percent interest in New York Transco's Transmission Owner Transmission Solutions, a group of three electric
power bulk transmission projects, (2) a 45.7 percent interest in New York Transco’s New York Energy Solution, an
electric transmission project built to relieve transmission congestion between upstate and downstate New York, and
a 41.7 percent interest in New York Transco’s share of Propel NY Energy, a proposed electric transmission project
expected to deliver offshore wind electricity and increase high voltage transmission connections between Long
Island and the rest of New York State.

Con Edison Transmission also owns a 71.2 percent interest in Honeoye Storage Corporation (Honeoye), a gas
storage facility in upstate New York, with the remaining 28.8 percent held by CECONY. In addition, Con Edison
Transmission owns a 7.9 percent interest (that is expected to be reduced to approximately 7.0 percent based on
Con Edison Transmission’s previous capping of its cash contributions to the joint venture) in Mountain Valley
Pipeline LLC, a joint venture developing a proposed 300-mile gas transmission project in West Virginia and Virginia.

Utility Regulation
State Utility Regulation
Regulators
The Utilities are subject to regulation by the NYSPSC, that under the New York Public Service Law, is authorized to
set the terms of service and the rates the Utilities charge for providing service in New York. See “Rate Plans,” below
and in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8. The NYSPSC also approves the issuance of the Utilities’
securities and transactions between the Utilities and Con Edison and its other subsidiaries. See “Capital
Resources,” below and Note U to the financial statements in Item 8. The NYSPSC exercises jurisdiction over the
siting of electric transmission lines in New York State (see “Con Edison Transmission,” below) and approves
mergers or other business combinations involving New York utilities.

In addition, under the New York Public Service Law, the NYSPSC has the authority to (i) impose penalties on New
York utilities, which could be material, for violating state utility laws and regulations and its orders; (ii) review, at least
every five years, an electric and gas utility’s capability to provide safe, adequate and reliable service, order the utility
to comply with additional and more stringent terms of service than existed prior to the review, assess the continued
operation of the utility as the provider of electric service in its service territory and propose, and act upon, such
measures as are necessary to ensure safe and adequate service; and (iii) based on findings of repeated violations
of the New York Public Service Law or rules or regulations adopted thereto that demonstrate a failure of a
combination gas and electric utility to continue to provide safe and adequate service, revoke or modify an operating
certificate issued to the utility by the NYSPSC (following consideration of certain factors, including public interest
and standards deemed necessary by the NYSPSC to ensure continuity of service, and due process). See "Risk
Factors" in Item 1A and “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8. O&R’s New
Jersey subsidiary, RECO, is subject to regulation by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU). The
NYSPSC, together with the NJBPU, are referred to herein as state utility regulators.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

New York Utility Industry
Restructuring in the 1990s
In the 1990s, the NYSPSC restructured the electric utility industry in the state. In accordance with NYSPSC orders,
the Utilities sold all of their electric generating facilities other than those that also produce steam for CECONY’s
steam business (see "Electric Operations – Electric Facilities," below) and provided all of their customers the choice
to buy electricity or gas from the Utilities or other suppliers (see "Electric Operations – Electric Sales and Deliveries"
and "Gas Operations – Gas Sales and Deliveries," below). In 2023, 57 percent of the electricity and 31 percent of
the gas CECONY delivered to its customers, and 47 percent of the electricity and 22 percent of the gas O&R
delivered to its customers, was purchased by the customers from other suppliers. In addition, the Utilities no longer
control and operate their bulk power electric transmission facilities. See “New York Independent System Operator
(NYISO),” below.

Following industry restructuring, there were several utility mergers as a result of which substantially all of the electric
and gas delivery service in New York State is now provided by one of five investor-owned utility companies – Con
Edison, National Grid plc, Avangrid, Inc. (an affiliate of Iberdrola, S.A.), National Fuel Gas Company or CH Energy
Group, Inc. (a subsidiary of Fortis Inc.) – or one of two state authorities – New York Power Authority (NYPA) or Long
Island Power Authority.

Rate Plans
Investor-owned utilities in the United States provide delivery service to customers according to the terms of tariffs
approved by the appropriate state utility regulator. The tariffs include schedules of rates for service that limit the
rates charged by the utilities to amounts that the utilities recover from their customers for costs approved by the
regulator, including capital costs, of providing service to customers as defined by the tariff. The tariffs implement rate
plans adopted by state utility regulators in rate orders issued at the conclusion of rate proceedings. The utilities’
earnings depend on the limits on rates authorized in, and the other provisions of, their rate plans and their ability to
operate their businesses in a manner consistent with such rate plans.

The utilities’ rate plans cover specified periods, but rates determined pursuant to a plan generally continue in effect
until a new rate plan is approved by the state utility regulator. In New York, either the utility or the NYSPSC can
commence a proceeding for a new rate plan, and a new rate plan filed by the utility will generally take effect
automatically in approximately 11 months unless prior to such time the NYSPSC approves a rate plan. The
NYSPSC may request that the utility agree to suspend its request for new rates beyond the 11 month period, but if
the utility agrees then the NYSPSC typically allows the utility to recover its new rates as if they went into effect at the
11-month date.

In each rate proceeding, rates are determined by the state utility regulator following the submission by the utility of
testimony and supporting information, which are subject to review by the staff of the regulator. Other parties with an
interest in the proceeding can also review the utility’s proposal and become involved in the rate proceeding. In New
York State, the review process is overseen by an administrative law judge who is employed by the NYSPSC. After
an administrative law judge issues a recommended decision that generally considers the interests of the utility, the
regulatory staff, other parties and legal requisites, the regulator will issue a rate order. The utility and the regulator’s
staff and interested parties may enter jointly into a proposed settlement agreement prior to the completion of this
administrative process, in which case the agreement could be approved by the regulator with or without
modification.

For each rate plan, the revenues needed to provide the utility a return on invested capital is determined by
multiplying the utilities’ rate base by the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital determined in the rate plan. In
general, rate base, as reflected in a utility's rate plans, is the sum of the utility’s net plant, working capital and certain
regulatory assets less deferred taxes and certain regulatory liabilities. The NYSPSC uses a forecast of the average
rate base for the year that new rates would be in effect (rate year). The NJBPU uses the rate base balances that
exist at the end of the historical 12-month period on which base rates are set. The capital structure used in the
weighted average cost of capital is determined using actual and forecast data for the same time periods as rate
base. The costs of long-term debt, customer deposits and the allowed return on common equity represent a
combination of actual and forecast financing information. The allowed return on common equity is determined by
each state’s respective utility regulator. The NYSPSC’s current methodology for determining the allowed return on
common equity assigns a one-third weight to an estimate determined from a capital asset pricing model applied to a
peer group of utility companies and a two-thirds weight to an estimate determined from a dividend discount model
using stock prices and dividend forecasts for a peer group of utility companies. Both methodologies employ market
measurements of equity capital to estimate returns rather than the accounting measurements to which such
estimates are applied in setting rates.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Pursuant to the Utilities’ rate plans, there generally can be no change to the rates charged to customers during the
respective terms of the rate plans other than specified adjustments provided for in the rate plans.

For information about the Utilities’ rate plans, see Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Liability for Service Interruptions
The tariff provisions under which CECONY provides electric, gas and steam service, and O&R provides electric and
gas service, limit each company’s liability to pay for damages resulting from service interruptions to circumstances
resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Under RECO's tariff provisions for electric service, the
company is not liable for interruptions that are due to causes beyond its control.

CECONY’s and O&R’s tariffs for electric and gas service also provide for compensation to residential and small
business customers that experience widespread prolonged outages lasting more than seventy-two consecutive
hours, subject to certain exceptions, including: for residential customers, a bill credit of $25 for each twenty-four
hour period of service outage beyond the first seventy-two consecutive hour outage; for residential and small
business customers, reimbursement for food spoilage of up to $540; and reimbursement of affected residential
customers for prescription medicine spoilage losses without limitation. Any such costs incurred by utilities are not
recoverable from customers. Utilities may petition the NYSPSC to request a waiver of the requirement that it
compensate customers after widespread prolonged outages. CECONY’s electric tariff requires it to also
compensate customers for certain other service outages resulting from malfunctions in the company’s lines and
cable of 33 kV or less or associated equipment, including, for residential customers, up to $580 for food spoilage
and actual losses for prescription medicine losses, and for all other customers, up to $11,460 for losses of
perishable merchandise.

The NYSPSC has approved a scorecard for use as a guide to assess electric utility performance in restoring electric
service during outages that result from a major storm. The scorecard could also be applied by the NYSPSC for
other outages or actions. The scorecard includes performance metrics in categories for preparation, operations
response, and communications.

Each New York electric utility is required to submit to the NYSPSC annually an emergency response plan for the
reasonably prompt restoration of service in the case of widespread outages in the utility’s service territory due to
storms or other events beyond the control of the utility. If, after evidentiary hearings or other investigatory
proceedings, the NYSPSC finds that the utility failed to reasonably implement its plan during an event, the NYSPSC
may impose penalties or deny recovery of any part of the service restoration costs caused by such failure. In April
2023, the NYSPSC approved CECONY’s and O&R's emergency response plans. In December 2023, CECONY and
O&R each submitted updated emergency response plans for 2024.

Generic Proceedings
The NYSPSC from time to time conducts “generic” proceedings to consider issues relating to all electric and gas
utilities operating in New York State. Proceedings include clean energy and related implementation proceedings,
such as the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act proceeding, and proceedings relating to energy
affordability, data access, retail access, gas planning, energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, and
negative revenue adjustments for billing delays related to community solar generation projects. The Utilities typically
are active participants in such proceedings.

Federal Utility Regulation
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), among other things, regulates the transmission and
wholesale sales of electricity in interstate commerce and the transmission and sale of natural gas for resale in
interstate commerce. In addition, the FERC can impose substantial penalties, including penalties for violations of
reliability and cybersecurity rules. Certain activities of the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission are subject to the
jurisdiction of the FERC. The Utilities are subject to regulation by the FERC with respect to electric transmission
rates and to regulation by the NYSPSC with respect to electric and gas retail commodity sales and local delivery
service. As a matter of practice, the NYSPSC has approved delivery service rates for the Utilities that include both
transmission and distribution costs. The electric and gas transmission projects in which Con Edison Transmission
invests are also subject to regulation by the FERC. See “Con Edison Transmission,” below.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)
The NYISO is a not-for-profit organization that controls and directs the operation of most of the electric transmission
facilities in New York State, including those of the Utilities, as an integrated system. It also administers wholesale
markets for electricity in New York State and facilitates the construction of new transmission it considers necessary
to meet identified reliability, economic or public policy needs. The New York State Reliability Council (NYSRC)
promulgates reliability standards subject to FERC oversight, and the NYISO has agreed to comply with those
standards. Pursuant to a requirement that is set annually by the NYSRC, the NYISO requires that entities supplying
electricity to customers in New York State have generating capacity (owned, procured through the NYISO capacity
markets or contracted for) in an amount equal to the peak demand of their customers plus the applicable reserve
margin. In addition, the NYISO has determined that entities that serve customers in New York City must procure
sufficient capacity from resources that are electrically located in New York City to cover a substantial percentage of
the peak demands of their New York City customers. The NYISO also requires entities that serve customers in the
Lower Hudson Valley and New York City customers that are served through the Lower Hudson Valley to procure
sufficient capacity from resources electrically located in the Lower Hudson Valley. These requirements apply both to
regulated utilities such as CECONY and O&R for the customers they supply under regulated tariffs and to other load
serving entities that supply customers on market terms. See “CECONY – Electric Operations – Electric Supply” and
“O&R – Electric Operations – Electric Supply,” below.

Cyber Regulation
The Companies are subject to cyber regulation by federal agencies, including FERC, the Transportation Security
Agency and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The Utilities are subject to cyber regulation by the
NYSPSC, that under the New York Public Service Law, is authorized to evaluate annually the utility’s customer
privacy protections, including, but not limited to, customer electric and gas consumption data, and protection of
critical energy infrastructure. In March 2023, the New York State legislature amended the New York State Public
Service Law, directing the NYSPSC to develop rules to direct electric and gas utilities to, among other things,
protect customer privacy, including customer consumption data, from unauthorized disclosure; (ii) develop and
implement tools to monitor operational control networks to detect unauthorized network behavior; and (iii) mandate
that utilities’ emergency response plans include cyberattack response plans. O&R’s subsidiary, RECO, is subject to
cyber regulation by the NJBPU. See “The Companies Are Extensively Regulated And Are Subject To Penalties” and
"A Cyber Attack Could Adversely Affect the Companies" in Item 1A and Item 1C: Cybersecurity.

Competition
The subset of distributed energy resources (DER) that produce electricity is collectively called distributed generation
(DG). DG includes solar energy production facilities, fuel cells, and micro-turbines, and provides an alternative
source of electricity for the Utilities’ electric delivery customers. Energy storage, though not a form of DG, is also a
source of electricity for the Utilities’ electric delivery customers. Typically, customers with DG remain connected to
the utility’s delivery system and do not pay a different rate. Gas delivery customers have electricity, oil and propane
as alternatives, and steam customers have electricity, oil and natural gas as alternative sources for heating and
cooling their buildings. Micro-grids and community-based micro-grids enable DG to serve multiple locations and
multiple customers. Demand reduction and energy efficiency investments provide ways for energy consumers within
the Utilities’ service areas to lower their energy usage. The Companies expect DERs and electric alternatives to gas
and steam, to increase, and for gas and steam usage to decrease, as the Climate Leadership and Community
Protection Act enacted by New York State and the Climate Mobilization Act enacted by New York City continue to be
implemented. See “Environmental Matters – Clean Energy Future,” below. CECONY’s smart solutions for gas
customers include energy efficiency and heating electrification programs. See “CECONY- Gas Operations - Gas
Peak Demand,” below. The following table shows the aggregate capacities of the DG projects connected to the
Utilities’ distribution systems at the end of the last five years:

The Utilities do not consider it reasonably likely that another company would be authorized to provide utility delivery
service of electricity, gas or steam where the company already provides service. Any such other company would
need to obtain NYSPSC consent, satisfy applicable local requirements, install facilities to provide the service, meet
applicable services standards and charge customers comparable taxes and other fees and costs imposed on the
service. A new delivery company would also be subject to extensive ongoing regulation by the NYSPSC. See “Utility
Regulation – State Utility Regulation – Regulators,” above, "The Companies Are Extensively Regulated And Are
Subject To Substantial Penalties" in Item 1A and “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in
Item 8. Con Edison Transmission invests in electric transmission projects and manages both electric and gas
assets, the current and prospective customers of which may have competitive alternatives. See "Con Edison
Transmission," below.

The Utilities
CECONY
CECONY, incorporated in New York State in 1884, is a subsidiary of Con Edison and has no significant subsidiaries
of its own. Its principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and steam businesses.

For a discussion of the company’s operating revenues and operating income for each segment, see “Results of
Operations” in Item 7. For additional information about the segments, see Note P to the financial statements in
Item 8.

Electric Operations
Electric Facilities
CECONY’s capitalized costs for utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation, for distribution facilities were $23,238
million and $22,130 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For its transmission facilities, the costs for
utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation, were $4,333 million and $3,916 million at December 31, 2023 and
2022, respectively, and for its portion of the steam-electric generation facilities, the costs for utility plant, net of
accumulated depreciation, were $580 million and $534 million, at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. See
"CECONY – Steam Operations – Steam Facilities," below.

Distribution Facilities
CECONY owns 63 area distribution substations and various distribution facilities located throughout New York City
and Westchester County. At December 31, 2023, the company’s distribution system had a transformer capacity of
32,636 MVA, with 37,633 miles of overhead distribution lines and 98,789 miles of underground distribution lines.
The underground distribution lines represent the single longest underground electric delivery system in the
United States.

Transmission Facilities
CECONY’s transmission facilities are located in New York City and Westchester, Orange, Rockland, Putnam and
Dutchess counties in New York State. On December 31, 2023, the company owned or jointly owned 490 miles of
overhead circuits operating at 138, 230, 345 and 500 kV and 760 miles of underground circuits operating at 69, 138
and 345 kV. The company’s 40 transmission substations and 63 area stations are supplied by circuits operated at
69 kV and above. CECONY’s transmission facilities interconnect with those of National Grid, Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation, O&R, New York State Electric & Gas, Eversource Energy, Long Island Power Authority, NYPA,
New York Transco and Public Service Electric and Gas Company.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Generating Facilities
CECONY’s electric generating facilities consist of plants located in Manhattan whose primary purpose is to produce
steam for the company's steam business and also co-produce electricity. The facilities have a combined electric
nameplate capacity of approximately 694 MW. The company expects to have sufficient amounts of gas and fuel oil
available in 2024 for use in these facilities.

Electric Sales and Deliveries
CECONY delivers electricity to its full-service customers who purchase electricity from the company. Under the
company's retail choice program, CECONY also delivers electricity to its customers who choose to purchase
electricity from other load serving entities. In addition, the company delivers electricity to state and municipal
customers of the NYPA.

The company charges all customers in its service area for the delivery of electricity. The company generally
recovers, on a current basis, the cost of the electricity that it buys and then sells to its full-service customers. It does
not make any margin or profit on the electricity it sells. CECONY’s electric delivery revenues are subject to a
revenue decoupling mechanism. As a result, its electric delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in
delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. CECONY’s electric sales and deliveries for the
last five years were:

Operations” in Item 7. For additional segment information, see Note P to the financial statements in Item 8.

Electric Peak Demand
The electric peak demand in CECONY’s service area typically occurs during the summer air conditioning season.
CECONY’s 2023 service area actual hourly peak demand (June-August) was 11,565 MW, which occurred on July
27, 2023. “Design Weather Conditions” for the electric system is a standard to which the actual hourly peak demand
is adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes. Since NYISO-invoked demand reduction programs can only be
called upon under specific circumstances, Design Weather Conditions do not include these programs' potential
impact. However, the CECONY forecasted hourly peak demand at design conditions does include the impact of
certain demand reduction programs. The company estimates that, under Design Weather Conditions, the 2024
service area hourly peak demand will be 12,800 MW. As of January 2024, the company forecasts an average
annual increase in hourly electric peak demand in its service area at Design Weather Conditions over the next five
years to be approximately 0.7 percent per year, including the effect of certain electric energy efficiency programs,
the anticipated phase-out of natural gas in certain new construction buildings in CECONY's service territory, and the
anticipated increase in electric vehicles in CECONY's service territory. The five-year forecast in peak demand is
used by the company for electric supply and capital planning purposes.

Electric Supply
Most of the electricity sold by CECONY to its full-service customers in 2023 was purchased through the wholesale
electricity market administered by the NYISO. The company expects that resources will again be adequate to meet
the requirements of its customers in 2024. The company plans to meet its continuing obligation to supply electricity

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

to its full-service customers through a combination of electricity purchased under contract, purchased through the
NYISO’s wholesale electricity market, or generated from its electricity generating facilities. For information about the
company’s contracts for electric generating capacity, see Notes I and Q to the financial statements in Item 8. To
reduce the volatility of its full-service customers’ electric energy costs, the company enters into derivative
transactions to hedge the costs of a portion of its expected purchases through the NYISO’s wholesale electricity
market.

CECONY owns generating stations in New York City associated primarily with its steam system. The generating
stations have a combined electric nameplate capacity of approximately 780 MW. For information about electric
generating capacity owned by the company, see “Electric Operations – Electric Facilities – Generating Facilities,”
above.

In general, the Utilities recover their costs of purchasing power for full-service customers, including the cost of
hedging purchase prices, pursuant to rate provisions approved by the state public utility regulatory authority having
jurisdiction. See “Financial and Commodity Market Risks – Commodity Price Risk” in Item 7 and “Recoverable
Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8.

Electric Reliability Needs
CECONY monitors the adequacy of the electric capacity resources and related developments in its service area,
and works with other parties on long-term resource adequacy within the framework of the NYISO reliability planning
process.

In 2019, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation issued regulations (Peaker Rule) that may
require the retirement or seasonal unavailability of fossil-fueled electric generating units owned by CECONY and
others in New York City. The Peaker Rule limits nitrous oxides emissions during the ozone season from May
through September and affects older peaking units that are generally located downstate and needed during periods
of high electric demand or for local reliability purposes. Compliance with the Peaker Rule would impact
approximately 1,700 MW (nameplate capacity) of generating units in CECONY's service territory (including 70 MW
owned by CECONY), of which approximately 989 MW (including 70 MW owned by CECONY) have since been
retired or limited operation. An additional 709 MW (in nameplate capacity) of peaker plants were expected to
become unavailable beginning May 1, 2025. In July 2023, the NYISO found an electric reliability need beginning in
the summer of 2025 in CECONY’s New York City territory primarily driven by forecasted increases in peak demand
and the unavailability of units impacted by the Peaker Rule. In November 2023, after soliciting and evaluating both
regulated and market-based solutions, the NYISO determined that there were no viable and sufficient solutions
submitted that meet the reliability need in 2025. As a result, the NYISO stated that it will temporarily retain 672 MW
of the remaining units impacted by the Peaker Rule until May 2027 to ensure the continued reliability of electric
service in New York City.

In January 2021, CECONY updated its Local Transmission Plan to address identified reliability needs on its local
system resulting from the Peaker Rule through the construction of three transmission projects, the Reliable Clean
City (RCC) projects. In April 2021, the NYSPSC approved CECONY’s December 2020 petition to recover $780
million of costs to construct the RCC projects. In May 2023, the first of the three RCC projects was completed and
placed in service; the remaining two are expected to be completed in 2025.

In April 2023, the NYSPSC approved CECONY’s December 2022 petition seeking cost recovery approval for a
proposed clean energy hub in Brooklyn, New York (Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub) at an estimated cost of $810
million and an estimated in-service date of December 2027, that is in addition to the capital expenditures approved
in CECONY's 2023 electric rate plan. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub primarily addresses an identified reliability
need in 2028 due to a forecasted increase in electric demand. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub also provides the
flexibility for offshore wind resources to interconnect to it during construction and after it commences operation.
Construction began in September 2023 and is expected to be completed by 2028.

In January 2024, the NYSPSC approved CECONY's August 2023 petition requesting authorization and cost
recovery to construct two new substations in Jamaica, Queens (the Reliable Clean City - Idlewild Project) that is in
addition to the capital expenditures approved in CECONY's 2023 electric rate plan. The project is expected to be
completed by May 2028 to meet anticipated reliability needs and to support New York State’s goals set forth in the
Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA). CECONY estimates that construction will cost $1,200
million.

Capital expenditures approved in CECONY’s 2023 electric rate plan to address identified reliability needs in New
York City include CECONY’s projects to: transfer electric customers from its Brownsville substation to its Glendale
substation (estimated completion in 2026 and estimated cost of $115 million); build a transmission feeder between

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Vernon and Newtown (estimated completion in 2026 and estimated cost of $125.4 million); and build the Gateway
Park area substation (estimated completion in 2028 and estimated cost of $1,100 million).

Gas Operations
Gas Facilities
CECONY’s capitalized costs for utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation, for gas facilities, which are primarily
distribution facilities, were $11,226 million and $10,567 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Natural gas is delivered by interstate pipelines to CECONY at various points in or near its service territory and is
distributed to customers by the company through an estimated 4,363 miles of mains and 380,870 service lines. The
company owns a natural gas liquefaction facility and storage tank at its Astoria property in Queens, New York. The
plant can store 1,062 MDt of which a maximum of about 240 MDt can be withdrawn per day. The company has
approximately 1,226 MDt of additional natural gas storage capacity available to it at a field in upstate New York,
owned and operated by Honeoye Storage Corporation, a corporation 71.2 percent owned by Con Edison
Transmission and 28.8 percent owned by CECONY.

Gas Sales and Deliveries
CECONY delivers gas to its full-service customers who purchase gas from the company. The company generally
recovers the cost of the gas that it buys and then sells to its full-service customers. It does not make any margin or
profit on the gas it sells. Under the company's retail choice program, CECONY also delivers gas to its customers
who choose to purchase gas from other suppliers. CECONY’s gas delivery revenues are subject to a weather
normalization clause and a revenue decoupling mechanism. As a result, its gas delivery revenues are generally not
affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. CECONY’s gas sales and
deliveries for the last five years were:

Item 7. For additional segment information, see Note P to the financial statements in Item 8.

Gas Peak Demand
The gas actual peak day demand for firm gas customers in CECONY’s service area occurs during the winter
heating season and during the winter of 2023/2024 (through January 31, 2024) occurred on January 20, 2024 when
the firm gas customers' demand reached approximately 1,188 MDt. “Design Weather Conditions” for the gas system
is a standard to which the actual peak demand is adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes. The company
estimates that, under Design Weather Conditions, the 2024/2025 service area peak day demand for firm gas
customers will be 1,698 MDt. The forecasted peak day demand for firm gas customers at design conditions does
not include gas used by interruptible gas customers including electric and steam generating stations. As of January
2024, the company forecasts an average annual decrease of the gas peak day demand for firm gas customers over
the next five years at design conditions of approximately 0.8 percent in its service area, including the effect of
certain gas energy efficiency programs, the electrification of space heating and the anticipated phase-out of natural
gas in certain new construction buildings in CECONY's service territory. The five-year forecast in peak demand is
used by the company for gas supply and capital planning purposes.

Gas Supply
CECONY and O&R have combined their gas requirements, and contracts to meet those requirements, into a single
portfolio. The combined portfolio is administered by, and related management services are provided by, CECONY
(for itself and as agent for O&R) and costs are allocated between the Utilities in accordance with provisions
approved by the NYSPSC. See Note U to the financial statements in Item 8.

Charges from suppliers for the firm purchase of gas, which are based on formulas or indexes or are subject to
negotiation, are generally designed to approximate market prices. The Utilities have contracts with interstate
pipeline companies for the purchase of firm transportation from upstream points where gas has been purchased to
the Utilities’ distribution systems, and for upstream storage services. Charges under these transportation and
storage contracts are approved by the FERC. The Utilities are required to pay certain fixed charges under the
supply, transportation and storage contracts whether or not the contracted capacity is actually used. These fixed
charges amounted to approximately $371.7 million in 2023, including $326.8 million for CECONY. At December 31,
2023, the contracts were for various terms extending to 2027 for supply and 2044 for transportation and storage.
During 2023, CECONY entered into one new transportation contract. In addition, the Utilities purchase gas on the
spot market and contract for interruptible gas transportation. See “Contractual Obligations,” below and “Recoverable
Energy Costs” in Note A, Note Q and Note U to the financial statements in Item 8.

In July 2020, CECONY filed a gas planning analysis with the NYSPSC that stated that the company is monitoring a
gas supply constraint for the New York City portion of its service territory. In May 2022, the NYSPSC issued orders
on gas planning and moratorium management. The orders set forth a schedule for filing future gas planning
analyses and the process for initiating, operating and lifting a natural gas moratorium.

In December 2023, CECONY ended a temporary moratorium on new applications for firm gas service that had been
implemented in March 2019 due to interstate pipeline gas transportation constraints that affected most of
Westchester County. CECONY lifted the moratorium due to increased interstate pipeline capacity upon completion
of Tennessee Gas Pipeline’s East 300 Upgrade Project.

Steam Operations
Steam Facilities
CECONY’s capitalized costs for utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation, for steam facilities, including steam's
portion of the steam-electric generation facilities, were $1,990 million and $1,962 million at December 31, 2023 and
2022, respectively. See "CECONY – Electric Operations – Electric Facilities," above.

CECONY generates steam at one steam-electric generating station and four steam-only generating stations and
distributes steam to its customers through approximately 106 miles of transmission, distribution and service piping.

Steam Peak Demand and Capacity
The steam actual hourly peak demand in CECONY’s service area occurs during the winter heating season and
during the winter of 2023/2024 (through January 31, 2024) occurred on January 17, 2024 when the actual hourly
demand reached approximately 6.7 MMlb per hour. “Design Weather Conditions” for the steam system is a standard
to which the actual hourly peak demand is adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes. The company’s estimate
for the winter of 2024/2025 hourly peak demand of its steam customers is about 7.7 MMlb per hour under Design
Weather Conditions. The company forecasts an average annual decrease in steam hourly peak demand in its
service area at Design Weather Conditions over the next five years to be approximately 0.5 percent. The slight
decrease reflects continued lower commercial building occupancy levels in the aftermath of the COVID-19
pandemic and customer migration to other heating sources. The five-year forecast in peak demand is used by the
company for steam supply and capital planning purposes.

On December 31, 2023, the steam system was capable of delivering approximately 11.4 MMlb of steam per hour,
and CECONY estimates that the system will have the same capability in the 2024/2025 winter.

Steam Supply
35 percent of the steam produced by CECONY in 2023 was supplied by the company’s steam-only generating
assets; 43 percent was produced by the company’s steam-electric generating assets, where steam and electricity
are primarily cogenerated; and 22 percent was purchased under an agreement with Brooklyn Navy Yard
Cogeneration Partners L.P.

O&R
Electric Operations
Electric Facilities
O&R’s capitalized costs for utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation, for distribution facilities were $1,253 million
and $1,215 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For its transmission facilities, the costs for utility
plant, net of accumulated depreciation, were $319 million and $307 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.

O&R and RECO own, in whole or in part, transmission and distribution facilities which include 545 circuit miles of
transmission lines, 15 transmission substations, 63 distribution substations, 90,051 in-service line transformers,
3,788 pole miles of overhead distribution lines and 2,314 miles of underground distribution lines. O&R’s
transmission system is part of the NYISO system except that portions of RECO’s system are located within the
transmission area controlled by PJM.

Electric Sales and Deliveries
O&R delivers electricity to its full-service customers who purchase electricity from the company. Under the
company's retail choice program, O&R also delivers electricity to its customers who purchase electricity from load
serving entities.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

The company charges all customers in its service area for the delivery of electricity. O&R generally recovers, on a
current basis, the cost of the electricity that it buys and then sells to its full-service customers. It does not make any
margin or profit on the electricity it sells. O&R’s New York electric revenues (which accounted for 76 percent of
O&R’s electric revenues in 2023) are subject to a revenue decoupling mechanism. As a result, O&R’s New York
electric delivery revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when
rates were approved. Effective July 2021, the majority of O&R’s electric distribution revenues in New Jersey are
subject to a conservation incentive program, as a result of which distribution revenues are generally not affected by
changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. O&R’s electric transmission revenues
in New Jersey are not subject to a conservation incentive program, and as a result, changes in such volumes do
impact revenues. O&R’s electric sales and deliveries for the last five years were:

Electric Peak Demand
The electric peak demand in O&R’s service area typically occurs during the summer air conditioning season. O&R’s
2023 service area actual hourly peak demand (June-August) was 1,342 MW, which occurred on July 28, 2023.
“Design Weather Conditions” for the electric system is a standard to which the actual hourly peak demand is
adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes. Since NYISO-invoked demand reduction programs can only be
called upon under specific circumstances, Design Weather Conditions do not include these programs' potential
impact. However, the O&R forecasted hourly peak demand at design conditions does include the impact of certain
demand reduction programs. The company estimates that, under Design Weather Conditions, the 2024 service area
peak demand will be 1,530 MW. As of January 2024, the company forecasts an average annual increase in hourly
electric peak demand in its service area at design conditions over the next five years to be approximately
2.0 percent, including the effect of certain electric energy efficiency programs distributed generation additions, the
anticipated phase-out of natural gas in certain new construction buildings in New York State, and the anticipated
increase in electric vehicles in O&R's service territory. The five-year forecast in peak demand is used by the
company for electric supply and capital planning purposes.

Electric Supply
The electricity O&R sold to its full-service customers in 2023 was purchased under firm power contracts or through
the wholesale electricity market. The company expects that these resources will again be adequate to meet the
requirements of its customers in 2024. O&R does not own any electric generating capacity. The company plans to
meet its continuing obligation to supply electricity to its customers through a combination of electricity purchased
under contracts or purchased through the wholesale electricity market. To reduce the volatility of its customers’
electric energy costs, the company has contracts to purchase electric energy and enters into derivative transactions
to hedge the costs of a portion of its expected purchases. For information about the company’s contracts, see Note
Q to the financial statements in Item 8.

In general, the Utilities recover their costs of purchasing power for full service customers, including the cost of
hedging purchase prices, pursuant to rate provisions approved by the state public utility regulatory authority having
jurisdiction. See “Financial and Commodity Market Risks – Commodity Price Risk,” in Item 7 and “Recoverable
Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8. From time to time, certain parties have petitioned the
NYSPSC to review these provisions, the elimination of which could have a material adverse effect on the
Companies’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Gas Operations
Gas Facilities
O&R’s capitalized costs for utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation for gas facilities, which are primarily
distribution facilities, were $792 million and $756 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Natural gas
is delivered by pipeline to O&R at various points in or near its service territory and is distributed to customers by the
company through an estimated 1,896 miles of mains and 107,425 service lines.

Gas Sales and Deliveries
O&R delivers gas to its full-service customers who purchase gas from the company. O&R generally recovers the
cost of the gas that it buys and then sells to its full-service customers. It does not make any margin or profit on the

Gas Peak Demand
The gas actual peak day demand for firm sales customers in O&R’s service area occurs during the winter heating
season and during the winter of 2023/2024 (through January 31, 2024) occurred on January 20, 2024 when the firm
sales customers' demand reached approximately 169 MDt. “Design Weather Conditions” for the gas system is a
standard to which the actual peak demand is adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes. The company
estimates that, under Design Weather Conditions, the 2024/2025 service area peak day demand for firm sales
customers will be 235 MDt. The forecasted peak day demand at design conditions does not include gas used by

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

interruptible gas customers including electric generating stations. As of January 2024, the company forecasts an
average annual decrease of the gas peak day demand for firm gas customers over the next five years at design
conditions of approximately 0.2 percent in its service area, including the effect of certain gas energy efficiency
programs, the electrification of space heating and the anticipated phase-out of natural gas in certain new
construction buildings in New York State. The five-year forecast in peak demand is used by the company for gas
supply and capital planning purposes.

Gas Supply
O&R and CECONY have combined their gas requirements and purchase contracts to meet those requirements into
a single portfolio. See “CECONY – Gas Operations – Gas Supply” above.

Con Edison Transmission
Con Edison Transmission owns a 45.7 percent interest in New York Transco that is comprised of: a 45.7 percent
interest in New York Transco's Transmission Owner Transmission Solutions (TOTS) projects; a 45.7 percent interest
in New York Transco’s New York Energy Solution (NYES) project; and a 41.7 percent interest in New York Transco’s
share of the Propel NY Energy project. Con Edison Transmission also owns a 71.2 percent interest in Honeoye
Storage Corporation (Honeoye) and a 7.9 percent interest in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP) that is expected
to be reduced to approximately 7.0 percent as described below.

TOTS is a group of three electric power bulk transmission projects constructed on the New York bulk transmission
system to increase transfer capability between upstate and downstate New York that went in service in 2016. In
March 2016, the FERC approved a November 2015 settlement agreement that provides a 10 percent return on
common equity (which is comprised of 9.5 percent base return on equity plus an additional 50 basis points) and a
maximum actual common equity ratio of 53 percent. The revenues for these TOTS projects costs are collected by
the NYISO and allocated across NYISO transmission customers in New York State, with 63 percent allocated to
load serving entities in the CECONY and O&R service areas.

The NYES project was selected by the NYISO in April 2019 to relieve transmission congestion between upstate and
downstate ($600 million estimated cost, excluding certain interconnection costs). During the second quarter of 2023,
construction was completed for the NYES project and the associated Rock Tavern to Sugarloaf segment, and a
majority of the assets were placed in service. Construction of the associated Dover Station, an additional network
upgrade to support the NYES project, has not been completed and its permits are the subject of litigation in New
York State. In November 2017, FERC approved a settlement agreement that provides for a 10.65 percent return on
common equity (which is comprised of a 9.65 percent base ROE, with 100 basis points added for congestion
reduction and a cost containment mechanism applicable to certain capital costs) and a maximum actual common
equity ratio of 53 percent. The interconnection costs of the awarded project segment include network upgrades
identified by the NYISO and NYSPSC that earn the same base ROE, with a 50-basis point adder. Revenues for the
NYES project, including the Dover Station, are collected by the NYISO including 100 percent of construction work-
in-progress, and are allocated across NYISO transmission customers in New York State with 84 percent allocated to
load serving entities in the CECONY and O&R service areas.

The Propel NY Energy project that was selected by the NYISO in June 2023 is a proposed 90-mile electric
transmission project with an anticipated in-service date of 2030. Propel NY Energy is expected to enable delivery of
a minimum of 3,000 MW of offshore wind electricity, increase high voltage transmission connections between Long
Island and the rest of New York State and provide New Yorkers with greater access to diverse energy resources.
New York Transco’s share is quantified as $2,200 million, excluding its interconnection costs and the cost of projects
expected to be built by local transmission owners, including CECONY. The siting, construction and operation of the
project will require approvals and permits from appropriate governmental agencies and authorities, including the
NYSPSC. In October 2023, NYSERDA announced that it selected three new offshore wind projects for contract
negotiations, one of which is expected to connect 1,314 MW of offshore wind electricity using the capability of the
Propel NY Energy project. See "Environmental Matters - Clean Energy Future," below. In December 2023, FERC,
subject to refund and the outcome of settlement procedures, conditionally accepted a 53 percent equity capital
structure for the Propel NY Energy project with a base return on equity of 10.7 percent, plus a 125 basis-point return
on equity adder (50 basis points for participation in the NYISO and 75 basis points for risk).

Con Edison Transmission owns a 71.2 percent interest in Honeoye, a company that operates a gas storage facility
in upstate New York and in which CECONY owns the remaining interest. A goodwill impairment loss of $7 million
was recorded related to Con Edison Transmission's and CECONY’s investment in Honeoye for the year ended
December 31, 2021, of which $5 million was attributed to Con Edison Transmission. See Note K to the financial
statements in Item 8.

MVP is a joint venture among five partners, including Con Edison Transmission, to construct and operate the
Mountain Valley Pipeline, a proposed 300-mile gas transmission project in West Virginia and Virginia. Con Edison

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Transmission owns a 7.9 percent interest in MVP that is expected to be reduced to approximately 7.0 percent based
on Con Edison Transmission's previous capping of its cash contributions to the joint venture. In June 2023,
construction activities for the Mountain Valley Pipeline resumed after resolution of certain legal challenges. In
January 2024, the operator of the Mountain Valley Pipeline indicated that it is targeting an in-service date for the
project in the first quarter of 2024 at an overall project cost of approximately $7,200 million excluding allowance for
funds used during construction. Con Edison Transmission recorded pre-tax impairment losses on its interest in MVP
of $231 million ($162 million after-tax) and $320 million ($223 million after-tax) for the years ended December 31,
2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. At December 31, 2023, Con Edison Transmission’s carrying value of its
investment in MVP was $111 million and its cash contributions to the joint venture amounted to $530 million. See
"Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP)" in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8.

During 2021, Con Edison Transmission sold its 50 percent interest in Stagecoach Gas Services LLC (Stagecoach),
a gas pipeline and storage business located in northern Pennsylvania and southern New York for $629 million. Con
Edison Transmission recorded pre-tax impairment losses of $212 million ($147 million after-tax). See "Investments -
2021 Partial Impairment of Investment in Stagecoach Gas Services" in Note A and Note W to the financial
statements in Item 8.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

(f) Amounts shown for other purchase obligations, which reflect capital and operations and maintenance costs incurred by the Utilities in

running their day-to-day operations, were derived from the Utilities’ purchasing system as the difference between the amounts authorized
and the amounts paid (or vouchered to be paid) for each obligation. For many of these obligations, the Utilities are committed to purchase
less than the amount authorized. Payments for the “Other Purchase Obligations” are generally assumed to be made ratably over the term
of the obligations. Long-term Purchase Obligations, which comprises $3,468 million of "Other Purchase Obligations," were derived from the
Utilities' purchasing system by using a method that identifies the remaining purchase obligations. The Utilities believe that unreasonable
effort and expense would be involved to enable them to report their “Other Purchase Obligations” in a different manner.

The Companies’ commitments to make payments in addition to these contractual commitments include their other
liabilities reflected on their balance sheets, any funding obligations for their pension and other postretirement benefit
plans, financial hedging activities, their collective bargaining agreements and Con Edison’s guarantee of certain
obligations. See Notes E, F, Q and “Guarantees” in Note H to the financial statements in Item 8.

Capital Resources
Con Edison is a holding company that operates only through its subsidiaries and has no material assets other than
its interests in its subsidiaries. Con Edison finances its capital requirements primarily through internally-generated
funds, the sale of its common shares or external borrowings. Con Edison’s ability to make payments on external
borrowings and dividends on its common shares depends on receipt of dividends from its subsidiaries, proceeds
from the sale of additional common shares or its interests in its subsidiaries or additional external borrowings. See
"Con Edison's Ability To Pay Dividends Or Interest Depends On Dividends From Its Subsidiaries" in Item 1A and
Note U to the financial statements in Item 8.

For information about restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Utilities and significant debt covenants, see
Note C to the financial statements in Item 8.

For information on the Companies’ commercial paper program and revolving credit agreements with banks, see
Note D to the financial statements in Item 8.

The Companies require access to the capital markets to fund capital requirements that are substantially in excess of
available internally-generated funds. See “Capital Requirements,” above and "The Companies Require Access To
Capital Markets to Satisfy Funding Requirements” in Item 1A. Each of the Companies believes that it will continue
to be able to access capital, although capital market conditions may affect the timing and cost of the Companies’
financing activities. The Companies monitor the availability and costs of various forms of capital, and will seek to
issue Con Edison common shares and other securities when it is necessary or advantageous to do so. For
information about the Companies’ long-term debt and short-term borrowing, see Notes C and D to the financial
statements in Item 8.

The Utilities finance their operations, capital requirements and payment of dividends to Con Edison from internally-
generated funds, contributions of equity capital from Con Edison, if any, and external borrowings. See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources" in Item 7.

Con Edison plans to meet its capital requirements for 2024 through 2028 through internally-generated funds and the
issuance of long-term debt and common equity. See “Capital Requirements and Resources - Capital Requirements"
in Item 1. Con Edison's plans include the issuance of up to $3,250 million of long-term debt in 2024 and up to
$1,000 million of long-term debt in 2025, including for maturing securities, at the Utilities and approximately $6,000
million in aggregate of long-term debt, including for maturing securities, at the Utilities during 2026 through 2028.
Except for equity issued under its dividend reinvestment, employee stock purchase and long-term incentive plans,
Con Edison does not plan to issue common equity in 2024 and plans to issue common equity of approximately
$1,300 million in 2025 and up to $2,800 million in aggregate during 2026 through 2028. Con Edison’s estimates of
its capital requirements and related financing plans reflect information available and assumptions at the time the
statements are made and include, among other things, the assumptions that Con Edison’s non-utility gas
transmission investments remain unchanged through 2028 and the Utilities’ forecasted capital investments and
financing plans through 2028 are approved by the New York State Public Service Commission. Actual developments
and the timing and amount of funding may differ materially.

In 2021, the NYSPSC authorized CECONY, through 2025, to issue up to $4,025 million of debt securities ($3,450
million of which the company had issued as of December 31, 2023). In 2022, the NYSPSC authorized O&R, through
2025, to issue up to $285 million of debt securities ($150 million of which the company had issued as of
December 31, 2023). The NYSPSC also authorized CECONY and O&R for such periods to issue debt securities to
refund existing debt securities of up to $2,500 million and $125 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the
Utilities had not refunded any securities pursuant to these authorizations.

Con Edison Transmission has financed its operations and capital requirements primarily with capital contributions
and borrowings from Con Edison and internally-generated funds. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 7.

Environmental Matters
Clean Energy Future
New York State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
In 2019, New York State enacted the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) that established a
goal of 70 percent of the electricity procured by load serving entities regulated by the NYSPSC to be produced by
renewable energy systems by 2030 and requires the statewide electrical demand system to have zero emissions by
2040. The law also codified state targets for energy efficiency (end-use energy savings of 185 trillion British thermal
units below 2025 energy-use forecast), offshore wind (9,000 MW by 2035), solar (6,000 MW by 2025) and energy
storage (3,000 MW by 2030). The CLCPA established a climate action council that made recommendations for
meeting the statewide greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction requirements through displacing fossil-fuel fired
electricity with renewable electricity, transitioning heating and transportation to lower GHG impact fuels (including
substantial electrification), implementing energy efficiency measures and providing 35 percent to 40 percent of the
benefits of CLCPA-related investments to disadvantaged communities. As required by the law, the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) adopted regulations establishing statewide GHG emissions
limits that are 60 percent of 1990 emissions levels by 2030 and 15 percent of 1990 emissions by 2050. The Utilities
are unable to predict the impact on them of the implementation of this law.

CECONY and O&R have been required to obtain renewable energy credits (RECs) and zero-emissions credits
(ZECs) for their full service customers since 2017. In October 2020, the NYSPSC, in response to the CLCPA,
established a new RECs program to support increased renewable energy availability in New York City for which the
costs would be borne by load serving entities across New York State on a volumetric basis. Load serving entities
may satisfy their REC obligation by either purchasing RECs acquired through central procurement by the New York
State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), by self-supply through direct purchase of tradable
RECs, or by making alternative compliance payments. Load serving entities purchase ZECs from NYSERDA at
prices determined by the NYSPSC. In April 2022, the NYSPSC issued an order approving contracts between
NYSERDA and two project sponsors selected by NYSERDA to provide RECs directly to New York City (Clean Path
New York and H.Q. Energy Services (U.S.) Inc.) that anticipate in-service dates of 2026 and 2027, respectively.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Both projects have submitted requests to the NYISO to interconnect to CECONY’s high-voltage transmission
system.

In June 2023, the NYISO selected the Propel NY Energy transmission project that was jointly proposed by New
York Transco and the New York Power Authority (NYPA). Con Edison Transmission has a 41.7 percent interest in
New York Transco’s share of the Propel NY Energy project, a 90-mile electric transmission project with an in-service
date of 2030. The project is expected to enable delivery of a minimum of 3,000 MW of offshore wind electricity,
increase high voltage transmission connections between Long Island and the rest of New York State and provide
New Yorkers with greater access to diverse energy resources. See "Con Edison Transmission," below.

Also in June 2023, CECONY filed a petition with FERC to add a formula rate to the NYISO tariff to enable CECONY
to recover the costs of, and a return on investment for, two types of projects: (1) local transmission upgrades
determined by the NYSPSC to be necessary or appropriate to meet the CLCPA goals of New York State and (2) any
regulated transmission projects (or portions thereof) eligible for recovery under the NYISO’s public policy
transmission planning process. For local transmission upgrades, CECONY proposed the return on equity to be the
lower of the NYSPSC-determined rates or 10.87 percent. For NYISO projects, CECONY proposed a return on
equity of 11.10 percent. CECONY anticipates that the formula rate, once in place, will be applied to recover the
costs of the upgrades associated with the Propel NY Energy offshore wind project.

In November 2023, CECONY and O&R filed their combined gas system long-term plan. The Utilities’ plan has a 20-
year horizon to achieve the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of the CLCPA and includes three
pathways: (1) a reference pathway based on investments approved by the NYSPSC, (2) an alternate hybrid electric
generation and low-carbon fuels pathway and (3) an alternate deep electrification pathway. The plan outlines
objectives in clean energy, climate resilience, core service, and customer engagement and includes forecasts of
annual customer bill charges. The plan concludes that gas sales and emissions in CECONY’s and O&R’s service
territories are projected to fall in all three pathways.

Offshore Wind
In an effort to meet the CLCPA’s offshore wind goals, load serving entities, such as CECONY and O&R, will be
required to purchase offshore wind renewable energy credits beginning in 2025 when projects are expected to
begin operation.

In October 2023, NYSERDA announced that it selected three new offshore wind projects for contract negotiations,
representing 4,032 MW of energy by 2030 One of the conditional awards, the Community Offshore Wind project, is
expected to connect 1,314 MW of offshore wind electricity through CECONY’s Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub by 2030
(see “Electric Reliability Needs,” above) and another conditional award, the Excelsior Wind project, is expected to
connect 1,314 MW of offshore wind electricity using the capability of the Propel NY Energy project. See "Con
Edison Transmission," above.

Energy Efficiency
In January 2020, and updated in August 2022, the NYSPSC issued an order directing energy efficiency targets and
budgets for New York utilities. The order approved electric and gas energy efficiency programs and heat pump
budgets, and associated targets, for the years 2020 through 2025 to meet the NYSPSC’s goal of reducing electric
use by 3 percent annually and gas use by 1.3 percent annually by 2025. The order and subsequent update
authorized budgets for the years 2020 through 2025 for: electric energy efficiency programs of $688 million and
$71 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively; gas energy efficiency programs of $338 million and $17 million for
CECONY and O&R, respectively; and heat pump programs of $746 million and $15 million for CECONY and O&R,
respectively. CECONY’s current electric and gas rate plans allow it to recover the costs of energy efficiency
expenditures, including a full rate of return, in rates from customers. See Note B to the financial statements in Item
8.

In November 2023, and updated in January 2024, CECONY and O&R filed preliminary proposals for energy
efficiency and heat pump programs for 2026-2030 with aggregate budgets of approximately $2,744 million and $129
million, respectively. The aggregate amounts are comprised of average annual budgets of up to: $373 million and
$22 million for electric energy efficiency and heat pump programs for CECONY and O&R, respectively, $150 million
and $4 million for gas energy efficiency programs for CECONY and O&R, respectively, and $26 million for steam
energy efficiency programs for CECONY.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Electric Vehicles
In July 2020, the NYSPSC established light-duty electric vehicle make-ready and other infrastructure programs that
included budgets of $290 million and $24 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, through 2025. In November
2023, the light-duty infrastructure and other programs, including medium and heavy-duty make-ready pilot projects
and a new micromobility infrastructure incentive program, were expanded to approximately $823 million for
CECONY and $56 million for O&R, with the ability to extend beyond 2025. The NYSPSC authorized CECONY and
O&R to recover these costs, including a full rate of return, through surcharge mechanisms and subsequently in
rates from customers.

In July 2022, the NYSPSC issued an order that provides CECONY and O&R with up to a total of $31 million and
$5.8 million, respectively, through 2025, for implementation of residential vehicle managed charging programs and
administration costs. The NYSPSC authorized CECONY and O&R to recover these costs through surcharge
mechanisms. The order also provides CECONY and O&R with authorization to offer incentives to encourage electric
vehicle charging to occur overnight and during off-peak times totaling approximately $71.8 million and $8.2 million,
respectively, through 2025, that would be recovered through the respective company’s revenue reconciliation
mechanisms.

In October 2022, the NJBPU approved RECO’s electric vehicle make-ready program that includes a budget of $7.6
million through 2026 for electric vehicle infrastructure and related program costs. The NJBPU authorized RECO to
recover these costs, including a full rate of return, in rates from customers.

In November 2023, the NYSPSC issued an order that provides CECONY and O&R with up to $432 million and $18
million, respectively, for the implementation of commercial managed charging programs and demand charge
rebates, participant incentives and administration costs. The NYSPSC authorized CECONY and O&R to recover
these costs, including a full rate of return, through surcharge mechanisms and subsequently in rates from
customers.

Energy Storage
In December 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order establishing an energy storage goal of up to 3,000 MW of energy
storage by 2030 with an interim objective of 1,500 MW by 2025. The order required CECONY and O&R to file
implementation plans for a competitive procurement process to deploy 300 MW and 10 MW, respectively, of energy
storage. CECONY and O&R filed their implementation plans in February 2019. CECONY is in contract negotiations
with storage developers and O&R is evaluating bids from storage developers. The Utilities expect to recover the
cost of energy storage services, including a full rate of return, in rates and surcharges from customers. In December
2022, NYSDPS and NYSERDA issued an updated storage roadmap that proposes to increase the storage goal
from 3,000 MW to 6,000 MW by 2030. The proposal includes the recommendation that New York State’s utilities
study the potential of energy storage to provide non-market transmission and distribution services and identify
services that are cost-effective compared to traditional alternatives.

Thermal Energy Networks
In September 2023, the NYSPSC issued an order providing guidance on the development and implementation of
utility-scale thermal energy network pilot projects throughout New York State. The order introduced a framework for
the NYSPSC to evaluate whether the proposed pilot projects are in the public interest. In December 2023, CECONY
and O&R filed pilot project proposals with budgets of $255 million and $46 million, respectively. The proposed pilots
are subject to approval by the NYSPSC.

Distribution System and Distributed Resources
The NYSPSC is directing development by New York electric utilities of a distributed system platform to manage and
coordinate distributed energy resources in their service areas under NYSPSC regulation and to provide customers,
together with third parties, with data and tools to better manage their energy use. The NYSPSC has required the
Utilities to file distributed system implementation plans and ordered the Utilities to develop demonstration projects to
inform distributed system platform business models. As of December 31, 2023, CECONY and O&R had one shared
active demonstration project, and individually, CECONY had four and O&R had three active demonstration projects.

The NYSPSC approved CECONY’s advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) installation plan for its electric and gas
delivery businesses, subject to a cap on capital expenditures of $1,285 million. CECONY substantially completed its
smart meter installations in 2023 and expects to complete its AMI installation plan in 2024. The NYSPSC also
authorized O&R to expend $98.5 million to install AMI for its New York customers, which work was complete as of
December 31, 2020.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

The NYSPSC began to change compensation for DERs and place limits on net energy metering (NEM) in 2015. In
New York, NEM compensates kilowatt-hours exported to the electric distribution system at the full-service rate for
production, delivery, taxes and fees. NYSPSC’s policy is to phase in changes to limit annual bill increases on non-
participating customers to two percent. In addition, NEM projects interconnected on or after January 1, 2022 are
charged for their share of energy efficiency and other public policy benefit programs.

New York City’s Clean Energy Goals
In 2014, New York City announced a goal to reduce GHG emissions 80 percent below 2005 levels by 2050. In May
2019, New York City enacted a package of legislation known as the Climate Mobilization Act, that includes
provisions intended to reduce GHG emissions from large buildings by 40 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. Building
owners may achieve compliance through operational changes, building retrofits, the purchase of GHG offsets, the
purchase of renewable energy credits and the use of clean distributed energy resources. CECONY is unable to
predict the impact on it of the implementation of this law.

Federal Regulation
In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision that restricts the authority of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish GHG emission reduction measures under Section 111 of the
federal Clean Air Act for technologies that reduce GHG emissions from fossil fuel combustion at the source. Con
Edison, as part of a coalition of public and private utilities, was a party in the case and had argued that the U.S.
Supreme Court should not adopt this restrictive statutory reading of the Clean Air Act. Depending on how it is
implemented in future final EPA regulations, which are currently undergoing federal rulemaking, the U.S. Supreme
Court’s decision could have potential cost implications for CECONY because it could limit its flexibility to use
measures such as trading emissions allowances from higher emitting sources to lower emitting sources and
averaging emissions across different sources, to cost-effectively meet federal GHG emissions limits for its limited
portfolio of steam and electric generating assets. The decision could also indirectly impact CECONY's and O&R's
initiatives to develop renewable energy sources. Certain CECONY electric generating units could be subject to the
final rule, depending on its applicability criteria. The Companies are unable to predict the impact on them as a
result of the decision or any final regulations that may be promulgated by the EPA.

Climate Change
As indicated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from
manmade sources are changing the world’s climate.

Climate change could affect customer demand for the Companies’ energy services. It might also cause physical
damage to the Companies’ facilities and disruption of their operations due to more frequent and more extreme
weather. Past major weather events such as Superstorm Sandy in 2012 and Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020 caused
large power outages in the Utilities’ territories and resulted in the Utilities incurring substantial response and
restoration costs.

In September 2023, CECONY updated the climate change vulnerability study it issued in 2019 and O&R published
its first climate change vulnerability study. The studies were developed pursuant to a New York State Public Service
law that requires all New York electric utilities to release a climate change vulnerability study and file with the
NYSPSC a subsequent climate change resilience plan at least every five years. The law authorizes utilities to
recover costs incurred outside of the rate plans through a surcharge and to subsequently include approved costs
into base rates during the next rate case proceeding. The Utilities’ studies identified rising temperatures, inland
flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, high winds, ice accumulation and extreme and compound weather events to be
the biggest risks to their systems. The resulting extreme weather events brought about by climate change are
manifested in increased system load, asset degradation, equipment damage and worker safety and accessibility
concerns.

In November 2023, CECONY and O&R filed climate change resilience plans with the NYSPSC that proposed to
make investments of $903 million and $411 million, respectively, between 2025 and 2029 to enhance the resilience
of their electric systems against extreme weather events brought about by climate change. The projected total cost
of CECONY’s and O&R’s resilience investments from 2025 through 2044 are expected to be $5,600 million and
$1,400 million, respectively. These investments are subject to approval by the NYSPSC.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

GHG Emissions Reporting
Based on the most recent data (2021) published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Con Edison
estimates that its direct GHG emissions constitute less than 0.1 percent of the nation’s GHG emissions. Con
Edison’s estimated Scope 1 emissions of GHG during the past five years were:

(Metric tons, in millions (a))

CO2 equivalent emissions

2019

2.9

2020

2.7

2021

2.8

2022

2.9

2023

2.7

(a) Estimated emissions for 2023 are based on preliminary data and are subject to third-party verification. Scope 1 emissions are GHG emitted
into the atmosphere by assets owned by Con Edison. Con Edison’s Scope 1 emissions primarily include emissions from CECONY’s
operation of steam, electric, and co-generation plants. Con Edison’s Scope 1 emissions also include fugitive emissions that occur when
pressurized equipment and infrastructure containing a GHG has a controlled or uncontrolled emission and emissions from Con Edison’s
vehicle fleet.

Con Edison’s more than 54 percent decrease in direct GHG emissions (carbon dioxide, methane and sulfur
hexafluoride) from the 2005 baseline (6.0 million metric tons) reflects emission reductions resulting from equipment
and repair projects, reduced steam demand, the increased use of natural gas in lieu of fuel oil at CECONY’s steam
production facilities and projects to reduce sulfur hexafluoride emissions and to replace leak-prone gas distribution
pipes. As a result of the Utilities’ participation in the NYISO wholesale markets, a portion of the Utilities’ NYISO
energy purchases are sourced from renewable electric production facilities. The electricity produced by renewable
generation offsets the energy that the Utilities would otherwise have procured, thereby reducing the amount of
electricity produced by non-renewable production facilities. The Utilities also actively promote energy efficiency and
the use of renewable generation to help their customers reduce their GHG emissions.

CECONY has participated for several years in voluntary initiatives with the EPA to reduce its methane and sulfur
hexafluoride emissions. The Utilities reduce methane emissions from the operation of their gas distribution systems
through pipe maintenance and replacement programs and by utilizing technologies to reduce fugitive emissions
from leaks or when work is performed on operating assets. The Utilities reduce emissions of sulfur hexafluoride by
using improved technologies to locate and repair leaks and by replacing older equipment. In December 2023,
NYSDEC issued a proposed regulation that would impose an emissions limit on owners of gas insulated equipment
containing sulfur hexafluoride, including equipment used in electric power transmission and distribution.

In January 2016, the NYSPSC approved a 10-year clean energy fund to be managed by NYSERDA under the
NYSPSC's supervision. The Utilities collect clean energy fund surcharges from their customers through the system
benefit charge. The Utilities billed customers clean energy fund surcharges of $224 million, $216 million and $224
million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

CECONY is subject to carbon dioxide emissions regulations established by New York State under the Regional
Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) due to its ownership of electric generation assets. The initiative established a
decreasing cap on carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the generation of electricity. Under RGGI, affected
electric generators are required to obtain emission allowances to cover their carbon dioxide emissions. CECONY
will purchase RGGI allowances for the sixth control period (2024 – 2026) based on anticipated emissions, which are
expected to be similar to past compliance periods.

The cost to the Companies to comply with legislation, regulations or initiatives limiting GHG emissions could be
substantial.

Environmental Sustainability
Con Edison’s sustainability strategy, as it relates to the environment, provides that the company seeks, among other
things, to reduce direct and indirect GHG emissions; enhance the efficiency of its water use; reduce its impact to
natural ecosystems; focus on reducing, reusing and recycling to lower materials consumption and disposal; and
design its work in consideration of climate projections.

Con Edison has adopted a Clean Energy Commitment whereby it commits to the transition to the clean energy
future. Con Edison's Clean Energy Commitment is supported by five pillars:

•
•
•
•
•

Build the grid of the future
Empower Con Edison's customers to meet their climate goals
Reimagine the gas system
Lead by reducing Con Edison's carbon footprint
Partner with stakeholders

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

CECONY
Superfund
The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state
statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances
for investigation costs, remediation costs and environmental damages. The sites as to which CECONY has been
asserted to have liability under Superfund include its and its predecessor companies’ former manufactured gas
sites, its multi-purpose Astoria site, the Gowanus Canal site, the Newtown Creek site and other Superfund sites
discussed below. There may be additional sites as to which assertions will be made that the company has liability.
For a further discussion of claims and possible claims against the company under Superfund, estimated liability
accrued for Superfund claims and recovery from customers of site investigation and remediation costs, see Note G
to the financial statements in Item 8.

Manufactured Gas Sites
CECONY and its predecessors formerly owned and operated manufactured gas plants at 51 sites (MGP Sites) in
New York City and Westchester County. Many of these sites have been subdivided and are now owned by parties other
than CECONY and have been redeveloped for other uses, including schools, residential and commercial developments
and hospitals. The NYSDEC is requiring CECONY to investigate, and if necessary, develop and implement remediation
programs for the sites, including any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated.

CECONY has started remedial investigations at all 51 MGP Sites. After investigations, no MGP impacts have been
detected at all or portions of 15 sites, and the NYSDEC has issued No Further Action (NFA) letters for these sites.

Coal tar or other MGP-related contaminants have been detected at the remaining 36 sites. Remedial actions have
been completed at all or portions of 14 sites and the NYSDEC has issued NFA letters for these sites. In addition,
remedial actions have been completed by property owners at all or portions of four sites under the New York State
Brownfield Cleanup Program and Certificates of Completion have been issued by the NYSDEC for these sites.
Remedial design, planning or action is ongoing for the remaining sites or portions of sites; however, the information
as to the extent of contamination and scope of the remediation likely to be required for many of these sites is
incomplete. The company estimates that its undiscounted potential liability for the completion of the site
investigation and cleanup of the known contamination on MGP sites (other than the Astoria site, which is discussed
below) could range from $686 million to $2,548 million.

Astoria Site
CECONY is permitted by the NYSDEC to operate a hazardous waste storage facility on property owned by it in the
Astoria section of Queens, New York. Portions of the property were formerly the location of a manufactured gas
plant and also have been used or are being used for, among other things, electric generation operations, electric
substation operations, the storage of fuel oil, the manufacture and storage of liquefied natural gas and the
maintenance and storage of electric equipment. As a condition of its NYSDEC permit, the company is required to
investigate the property and, where environmental contamination is found and action is necessary, to remediate the
contamination. The company’s investigations are ongoing. The company has submitted reports to the NYSDEC and
the New York State Department of Health and in the future will be submitting additional reports identifying the known
areas of contamination. The company estimates that its undiscounted potential liability for the completion of the site
investigation and cleanup of the known contamination on the property could range from $301 million to $884 million.

Gowanus Canal
In August 2009, CECONY received a notice of potential liability and request for information from the EPA about the
operations of the company and its predecessors at sites adjacent to or near the 1.8 mile Gowanus Canal in
Brooklyn, New York. In March 2010, the EPA added the Gowanus Canal to its National Priorities List of Superfund
sites. The canal’s adjacent waterfront is primarily commercial and industrial, currently consisting of concrete plants,
warehouses and parking lots. The canal is near several residential neighborhoods. In September 2013, the EPA
issued its record of decision for the site. The EPA concluded that there was significant contamination at the site,
including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, metals and volatile
organic compounds. The EPA selected a remedy for the site that includes dredging and disposal of some
contaminated sediments and stabilization and capping of contamination that will not be removed. The EPA
estimated the cost of the selected remedy to be $506 million (and has indicated the actual cost could be significantly
higher). The EPA has identified 39 potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with respect to the site, including CECONY
(which the EPA indicated has facilities that may be a source of PCBs at the site). The EPA ordered the PRPs,
including CECONY, to coordinate and cooperate with each other to perform and/or fund the remedial design for the
selected remedy, which current estimates indicate could cost approximately $113 million. CECONY is funding its
allocated share of the remedial design costs along with the other PRPs. In April 2019, the EPA issued an order that
requires the PRPs, including CECONY, to: (1) design and perform bulkhead structural support work, including

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

associated access dredging, along certain portions of the upper reaches of the canal, and (2) complete the design
work for bulkhead structural support along certain portions of the middle part of the canal. The PRPs and CECONY
are coordinating the implementation of this order. In January 2020, the EPA issued an order that requires six PRPs,
including CECONY, to initiate the remedial action work in the upper reaches of the canal following the completion of
the bulkhead upgrades. The EPA estimated that this work would cost approximately $125 million, although actual
costs may be significantly higher. In November 2020, the PRPs began implementation of the work required under
this order. Cleanup in other areas of the canal is not addressed by this order. In addition, other Federal agencies
and the NYSDEC have previously notified the PRPs of their intent to perform a natural resource damage
assessment for the site. CECONY is unable to estimate its exposure to liability for the Gowanus Canal site.

Newtown Creek
In June 2017, CECONY received a notice of potential liability from the EPA with respect to the Newtown Creek site
that was listed in 2010 on the EPA’s National Priorities List of Superfund sites. The EPA has identified 21 potentially
responsible parties (PRPs) with respect to the site, including CECONY, and has indicated that it will notify the
company as additional PRPs are identified and notified by the EPA. Newtown Creek and its tributaries (collectively,
Newtown Creek) form a 3.8 mile border between Brooklyn and Queens, New York. Currently, the predominant land
use around Newtown Creek includes industrial, petroleum, recycling, manufacturing and distribution facilities and
warehouses. Other uses include trucking, concrete manufacture, transportation infrastructure and a wastewater
treatment plant. Newtown Creek is near several residential neighborhoods. Six PRPs, not including CECONY,
pursuant to an administrative settlement agreement and order on consent the EPA issued to them in 2011, have
been performing a remedial investigation of the site. The EPA indicated that sampling events have shown the
sediments in Newtown Creek to be contaminated with a wide variety of hazardous substances including PCBs,
metals, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds. The EPA also indicated that it
has reason to believe that hazardous substances have come to be released from CECONY facilities into Newtown
Creek. The current schedule anticipates completion of a feasibility study for the site during 2027 and issuance of the
EPA's record of decision selecting a remedy for the site thereafter. CECONY is unable to estimate its exposure to
liability for the Newtown Creek site.

Other Superfund Sites
CECONY is a PRP at additional Superfund sites involving other PRPs and participates in PRP groups at those
sites. The company generally is not managing the site investigation and remediation at these multiparty sites. Work
at these sites is in various stages, and investigation, remediation and monitoring activities at some of these sites
can be expected to continue over extended periods of time. The company believes that it is unlikely that monetary
sanctions, such as penalties, will be imposed by any governmental authority with respect to these sites.

The following table lists each of the additional Superfund sites for which the company anticipates it may have
liability. The table also shows for each such site its location, the year in which the company was designated or
alleged to be a PRP or to otherwise have responsibilities for the site (shown in the table under “Start”), the name of
the court or agency in which proceedings for the site are pending and CECONY’s estimated percentage of the total
liability for each site. The company currently estimates that its potential liability for investigation, remediation,
monitoring and environmental damages in aggregate for the sites below, other than the sites where the percentage
of total liability has not been determined, is less than $2 million. Superfund liability is joint and several. The
company’s estimate of its liability for each site was determined pursuant to consent decrees, settlement agreements
or otherwise and in light of the financial condition of other PRPs. The company’s actual liability could differ
substantially from amounts estimated.

Other Environmental Matters
Following media reports, in July 2023, the Environmental Protection Agency, New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation, New York State Department of Health and NYSDPS began investigating the potential
public health risks associated with lead-jacketed cables in the fixed-line telecommunications industry. The use of

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

lead-jacketed electric cables began in the 1880s to protect conducting wires from exposure to the elements. All of
the Utilities’ transmission cables that are in service and lead-jacketed are covered with an outer plastic layer and
comprise less than 2 percent of CECONY’s transmission system and less than 5 percent of O&R’s transmission
system. CECONY installed lead-jacketed cables without an outer plastic layer in its distribution system until the
1980’s. CECONY’s distribution cables that are in service and lead-jacketed may or may not have an outer plastic
layer and may be located within a conduit and manhole system, directly buried or strung in the air between poles
and comprise less than 14 percent of its distribution system. O&R’s distribution cables are not lead-jacketed.
CECONY’s transmission and distribution systems also contain lead-jacketed cables that were retired in place.
CECONY continues to replace lead-jacketed distribution cables, as needed, and recover the costs for cable
replacements, pursuant to its electric rate plan. The Companies are unable to predict the impact on them, if any,
resulting from potential developments to legal or public policy doctrines regarding cable that contains lead.

In July 2021, a CECONY feeder failure led to the discharge of thousands of gallons of dielectric fluid from a street
manhole in New Rochelle, New York. Dielectric fluid reached nearby streets, properties and the New Rochelle
Harbor. CECONY, the U.S. Coast Guard, the NYSDEC and other agencies responded to the incident. CECONY
stopped the feeder leak on the same day the discharge occurred and has completed the spill recovery and
associated cleanup operations. As a result of the discharge, CECONY received third-party damage claims. The
costs associated with this matter are not expected to have a material adverse effect on CECONY’s financial
condition, results of operations and liquidity. In connection with the incident, CECONY may incur monetary
sanctions of more than $0.3 million for violations of certain provisions regulating the discharge of materials into, and
for the protection of, the environment.

In 2016, CECONY and another utility responded to a reported dielectric fluid leak at a New Jersey marina on the
Hudson River associated with one or two underwater transmission lines, the New Jersey portion of which is owned
and operated by the other utility and the New York portion of which is owned and operated by CECONY. In 2017,
after the marina owner had cleared substantial debris from its collapsed pier and rip rap material that it had
previously placed over and in the vicinity of the underwater transmission lines in an attempt to shore up its failing
pier, a dielectric fluid leak was found and repaired on one of the underwater transmission lines. In August 2018, the
EPA declared the leak response complete. In August 2020, CECONY and the other utility entered into a settlement
with the United States federal government, under which the utilities settled the federal government’s claims for
outstanding response costs. In December 2023, CECONY, the other utility and the marina owner settled all of the
claims in a litigation regarding response and repair costs and related damages.

O&R
Superfund
The sites at which O&R has been asserted to have liability under Superfund include its manufactured gas sites and
the Superfund sites discussed below. There may be additional sites as to which assertions will be made that O&R
has liability. For a further discussion of claims and possible claims against O&R under Superfund, see Note G to the
financial statements in Item 8.

Manufactured Gas Sites
O&R and its predecessors formerly owned and operated manufactured gas plants at seven sites (O&R MGP Sites)
in Orange County and Rockland County, New York. Three of these sites are now owned by parties other than O&R,
and have been redeveloped by them for residential, commercial or industrial uses. The NYSDEC is requiring O&R
to develop and implement remediation programs for the O&R MGP Sites including any neighboring areas to which
contamination may have migrated.

O&R has completed remedial investigations and has received the NYSDEC’s decision regarding the remedial work
to be performed at all seven of its MGP sites. Of the seven sites, O&R has completed remediation at four sites.
Remedial construction was conducted on a portion of one of the remaining sites in 2019 and remedial design is
ongoing for the other remaining sites. The company estimates that its undiscounted potential liability for the
completion of the site investigation and cleanup of the known contamination on MGP sites could range from $92
million to $145 million.

Superfund Sites
O&R is a PRP at Superfund sites involving other PRPs and participates in PRP groups at those sites. The company
is not managing the site investigation and remediation at these multiparty Superfund sites. Work at these sites is in
various stages, and investigation, remediation and monitoring activities at some of these sites is expected to
continue over extended periods of time. The company believes that it is unlikely that monetary sanctions, such as
penalties, will be imposed by any governmental authority with respect to these sites.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

The following table lists each of the Superfund sites for which the company anticipates it may have liability. The
table also shows for each such site its location, the year in which the company was designated or alleged to be a
PRP or to otherwise have responsibilities for the site (shown in the table under “Start”), the name of the court or
agency in which proceedings for the site are pending and O&R’s estimated percentage of the total liability for each
site. The company currently estimates that its potential liability for investigation, remediation, monitoring and
environmental damages in aggregate for the sites below is less than $1 million. Superfund liability is joint and
several. The company’s estimate of its liability for each site was determined pursuant to consent decrees,
settlement agreements or otherwise and in light of the financial condition of other PRPs. The company’s actual
liability could differ substantially from amounts estimated.

Other Federal, State and Local Environmental Provisions
Toxic Substances Control Act
Virtually all electric utilities, including CECONY and O&R, own equipment that may contain PCBs. PCBs are
regulated under the Federal Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976. The Utilities have procedures in place to
manage and dispose of oil and equipment containing PCBs properly when they are removed from service.

Water Quality
Under NYSDEC regulations, the operation of CECONY’s generating facilities requires permits for water discharges
and water withdrawals. Conditions to the renewal of such permits may include limitations on the operations of the
permitted facility or requirements to install certain equipment, the cost of which could be substantial. For information
about the company’s generating facilities, see “CECONY – Electric Operations – Electric Facilities” and “Steam
Operations – Steam Facilities” above in this Item 1.

Certain governmental authorities are investigating contamination in the Hudson River and the New York Harbor.
These waters run through portions of CECONY’s service area. Governmental authorities could require entities that
released hazardous substances that contaminated these waters to bear the cost of investigation and remediation,
which could be substantial.

Air Quality
Under the Clean Air Act and New York State law, certain of CECONY’s facilities qualify as major facilities that are
required to obtain Clean Air Act Title V operating permits. Consistent with the governing regulations, CECONY
applies to renew these permits prior to their expiration and seeks to modify them when needed.

Under new source review regulations, an owner of a major facility, including CECONY’s steam and steam-electric
generating facilities, is required to obtain a permit before making certain modifications to the facility, other than
routine maintenance, repair, or replacement, that cause the increase of emissions of pollutants from the facility
above specified thresholds. To obtain a permit, the facility owner could be required to install additional pollution
controls or otherwise limit emissions from the facility. The company reviews on an on-going basis its planned
modifications to its facilities to determine the potential applicability of new source review and similar regulations.

The EPA's Transport Rule (also referred to as the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule), which was implemented in
January 2015, established a new cap-and-trade program requiring further reductions in air emissions than the Clean
Air Intrastate Rule (CAIR) that it replaced. Under the Transport Rule, utilities are to be allocated emissions
allowances and may sell the allowances or buy additional allowances. CECONY requested and received NYSPSC
approval to change the provisions under which the company recovers its purchased power costs to provide for costs
incurred to purchase emissions allowances and revenues received from the sale of allowances. In 2021, the EPA
finalized changes to the Transport Rule in response to a court decision. In 2023, the EPA finalized an updated
version of the Transport Rule (known as the Good Neighbor Rule) that includes a more recent federal ozone
standard than the Transport Rule initially implemented. Since its promulgation, the Good Neighbor Rule has been
the subject of litigation in the federal Circuit Courts of Appeals which have stayed its effectiveness in several states
(but not New York State). Elements of this litigation are before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Circuit Courts of
Appeals. The revised Transport Rule reduced the number of allowances allocated to CECONY and required the
company to purchase allowances to offset the decreased allocation. CECONY has complied with the Transport Rule
in 2023 and expects to comply with the rule in 2024.

The NYSDEC issued regulations in 2019 that limit nitrous oxides (NOx) emissions during the ozone season from
May through September and affect older peaking units that are generally located downstate and needed during

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

periods of high electric demand or for local reliability purposes. See “CECONY – Electric Operations – Electric
Supply,” above.

Environmental Matters
For information concerning climate change, environmental sustainability, potential liabilities arising from laws and
regulations protecting the environment and other environmental matters, see “Environmental Matters” in Item 1, "Air
Quality," above and Note G to the financial statements in Item 8.

State Anti-Takeover Law
New York State law provides that a “domestic corporation,” such as Con Edison, may not consummate a merger,
consolidation or similar transaction with the beneficial owner of a 20 percent or greater voting stock interest in the
corporation, or with an affiliate of the owner, for five years after the acquisition of the voting stock interest, unless the
transaction or the acquisition of the voting stock interest was approved by the corporation’s board of directors prior
to the acquisition of the voting stock interest. After the expiration of the five-year period, the transaction may be
consummated only pursuant to a stringent “fair price” formula or with the approval of a majority of the disinterested
stockholders.

Human Capital
Con Edison is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining a talented, diverse workforce. It values and
supports a wide range of employee needs and interests. The company’s skilled and experienced workforce enables
the company to maintain best-in-class reliability and progress towards achieving a clean energy future. Human
capital measures focus on employee safety, hiring the right talent, employee development and retention and
diversity and inclusion.

On December 31, 2023, Con Edison and its subsidiaries had 14,592 employees, based entirely in the United States
including 13,416 at CECONY; 1,167 at O&R and 9 at Con Edison Transmission. Of the total CECONY and O&R
employees, 7,661 and 603 employees, respectively, were represented by a collective bargaining unit. The collective
bargaining agreement covering most of the CECONY employees expires in June 2024. Agreements covering other
CECONY employees and O&R employees expire in June 2025 and May 2026, respectively.

Con Edison measures the voluntary attrition rate of its employees in assessing the company’s overall human
capital. The company's turnover rate in 2023 was approximately 6.7 percent, 31 percent of which is attributed to
retirements. The average length of service is 13.4 years. Con Edison strives to have a diverse and inclusive
workforce. A comprehensive diversity and inclusion strategy underlies the corporate culture; informing how its
employees engage with one another, and setting the foundation for a respectful and inclusive environment. On
December 31, 2023, women represented 23.2 percent of the total workforce and people of color represented 53.6
percent of the workforce, with ethnicity breaking down as follows: 46.4 percent White, 23.3 percent Black, 19.3
percent Hispanic, 9.8 percent Asian and 1.2 percent other.

In managing the business, the company emphasizes a strong safety culture. Continuous focus on safety while
performing work is paramount, and leaders and managers are committed to implementing programs and practices
that promote the right knowledge, skills, and attitudes to undertake the responsibilities of safety, including required
training for both field and office employees. To that end, the company has a dedicated facility, the Learning Center,
that offers classes to employees covering technical courses, skills enhancement, safety and leadership
development. During 2023, employees spent over 680,000 hours in instructor-led, leadership and skill-based
training. Further, the company maintains a career development and succession planning program that is committed
to helping employees grow their careers, talents, skills and abilities. In addition to their daily job functions,
employees of the Utilities are assigned to and trained for a position for emergency response that is mobilized in the
event of a weather event or emergency.

Although working remotely for certain positions has been made possible by digital software and smart device
capabilities that enable employees to collaborate with each other and remain productive, the entire CECONY and
O&R workforce is available in the event of an emergency that requires on-site presence.

Available Information

For the sources of information about the Companies, see “Available Information” in the “Introduction” appearing
before this Item 1.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Item 1A: Risk Factors
Information in any item of this report as to which reference is made in this Item 1A is incorporated by reference

the information to which such reference is made.

The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, and that involve
uncertainties that may materially affect actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

The Companies have established an enterprise risk management program to identify, assess, manage and monitor
its major business risks based on established criteria for the severity of an event, the likelihood of its occurrence,
and the programs in place to control the event or reduce its impact. The Companies’ major risks include:

Regulatory/Compliance Risks:
The Companies Are Extensively Regulated And Are Subject To Substantial Penalties. The Companies’
operations require numerous permits, approvals and certificates from various federal, state and local governmental
agencies. State utility regulators may seek to impose substantial penalties on the Utilities for violations of state utility
laws, regulations or orders or limit the Utilities from recovering costs incurred above amounts set forth in their rate
plans. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8. The Utilities are also subject
to recurring, independent, third-party audits with respect to these regulations and standards. In addition, the Utilities'
rate plans usually include negative revenue adjustments for failing to meet certain operating and customer
satisfaction standards. FERC has the authority to impose penalties on the Utilities and the projects that Con Edison
Transmission invests in, which could be substantial, for violations of the Federal Power Act, the Natural Gas Act or
related rules, including reliability and cybersecurity rules. Environmental agencies may seek penalties for failure to
comply with laws, regulations or permits. The Companies may also be subject to penalties from other regulatory
agencies. The Companies may be subject to new laws, regulations or other requirements or the revision or
reinterpretation of such requirements, which could adversely affect them. See “Utility Regulation", "Competition" and
“Environmental Matters – Climate Change" and "Environmental Matters - Other Federal, State and Local
Environmental Provisions” in Item 1, “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 and “Other Regulatory Matters” in
Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

The Utilities’ Rate Plans May Not Provide A Reasonable Return. The Utilities have rate plans approved by
state utility regulators that limit the rates they can charge their customers. The rates are generally designed for, but
do not guarantee, the recovery of the Utilities’ cost of providing service (including a return on equity). See “Utility
Regulation – State Utility Regulation – Rate Plans” in Item 1 and “Rate Plans” in Note B to the financial statements
in Item 8. Rates usually may not be changed during the specified terms of the rate plans other than to recover
energy costs and limited other exceptions. The Utilities’ actual costs may exceed levels provided for such costs in
the rate plans. State utility regulators can initiate proceedings to prohibit the Utilities from recovering from their
customers the cost of service (including energy costs and storm restoration costs) that the regulators determine to
have been imprudently incurred. The Utilities have from time to time entered into settlement agreements to resolve
various prudence proceedings.

The Companies May Be Adversely Affected By Changes To The Utilities’ Rate Plans. The Utilities’ rate plans
typically require action by regulators at their expiration dates, which may include approval of new plans with different
provisions. The need to recover from customers increasing commodity or other costs, taxes or state-mandated
assessments or surcharges could adversely affect the Utilities’ opportunity to obtain new rate plans that provide a
reasonable rate of return and continue important provisions of current rate plans. The Utilities’ current New York
electric and gas rate plans include revenue decoupling mechanisms, CECONY’s current steam rate plan includes a
weather normalization adjustment and the Utilities' New York electric, gas and steam rate plans include provisions
for the recovery of energy costs and reconciliation of the actual amount of pension and other postretirement,
environmental and certain other costs to amounts reflected in rates. Accounting credits for pension and other
postretirement benefit plans could lead to a reduction in cash received from the Utilities’ revenue requirement. See
“Rate Plans” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Operations Risks:
The Failure Of, Or Damage To, The Companies’ Facilities Could Adversely Affect The Companies. The
Utilities provide electricity, gas and steam service using energy facilities, many of which are located either in, or
close to, densely populated public places. See the description of the Utilities’ facilities in Item 1. A failure of, or
damage to, these facilities, or an error in the operation or maintenance of these facilities, could result in bodily injury
or death, property damage, the release of hazardous substances or extended service interruptions. Impacts of
climate change, such as sea level rise, coastal storm surge, inland flooding from intense rainfall, hurricane-strength
winds and extreme heat or cold could impact or damage facilities or result in large-scale outages and the Utilities
may experience more severe consequences from attempting to operate during and after such events. The Utilities’
response to such events may be perceived to be below customer expectations. The Utilities' successful
implementation of their maintenance programs reduces, but does not fully protect against, damage to their facilities
for which they will be held responsible and which may hinder their restoration efforts. The Utilities could be required
to pay substantial amounts that may not be covered by the Utilities’ insurance policies to repair or replace their
facilities, compensate others for injury or death or other damage and settle any proceedings initiated by state utility
regulators or other regulatory agencies. The occurrence of such events could also adversely affect the cost and
availability of insurance. Changes to laws, regulations or judicial doctrines could further expand the Utilities’ liability
for service interruptions. See “Utility Regulation – State Utility Regulation” and "Environmental Matters – Climate
Change" in Item 1.

A Cyber Attack Could Adversely Affect The Companies. The Companies and other operators of critical energy
infrastructure and energy market participants face a heightened risk of cyber attack and the Companies’ businesses
require the continued operation of information systems and network infrastructure. See Item 1 for a description of
the businesses of the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission. Cyber attacks may include hacking, viruses, malware,
denial of service attacks, ransomware, exploited vulnerabilities or other security breaches, including loss of data and
communications. Cyber threats in general, and in particular to critical infrastructure, are increasing in sophistication,
magnitude and frequency and the techniques used in cyberattacks change rapidly, including from emerging
technologies, such as artificial intelligence. Interconnectivity with customers, independent system operators, energy
traders and other energy market participants, suppliers, contractors and others also exposes the Companies’
information systems and network infrastructure to an increased risk of cyber incidents, including attacks. Such
interconnectivity increases the risk that a cyber incident or attack on the Companies could affect others and that a
cyber incident or attack on others could affect the Companies. In the event of a cyber incident or attack that the
Companies were unable to defend against or mitigate, the Companies could have their operations and the
operations of their customers and others disrupted. The Companies could also have their financial and other
information systems and network infrastructure impaired, property damaged, and customer and employee
information stolen; experience substantial loss of revenues, response costs and other financial loss; and be subject
to increased regulation, litigation, penalties and damage to their reputation. In October 2023, threat actors exploited
a vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler that was remediated and reported to the relevant regulatory authorities by the
Companies. Also during 2023, the Companies experienced increases in malicious attempts to disrupt traffic to their
websites and in attacks against third-party vendors employed by the Companies. The Companies have experienced
cyber incidents and attacks in the past and expect to experience them in the future. Although none of these
incidents has had a material impact on the Companies, the scope and impact of any future incident cannot be
predicted. In the event of a cybersecurity incident or attack that the Companies were unable to defend against or
mitigate, the Companies’ business strategy, results of operations or financial condition are reasonably likely to be
materially affected.

The Failure of Processes and Systems, the Failure to Retain and Attract Employees and Contractors, and
Their Negative Performance Could Adversely Affect The Companies. The Companies have developed
business processes and use information and communication systems and enterprise platforms for operations,
customer service, legal compliance, personnel, accounting, planning and other matters. In October 2023, CECONY
and O&R replaced their separate existing customer billing and information systems with a single new customer
billing and information system to further automate the processes by which the Utilities bill their customers and
enhance payment, credit and collections activities. Failures in successfully implementing the new customer billing
and information system could adversely affect the Utilities’ billing and revenue collection processes and cash flow
and could result in higher costs. Many services, including certain information technology services and certain work
on the Utilities’ electric and gas systems and CECONY’s steam system, are provided to the Companies by third-
party contractors. The failure of the Companies’ or its contractors' business processes or information and
communication systems or the failure by the Companies’ employees or contractors to follow procedures, their
unsafe actions, errors or intentional misconduct, cyber incidents or attacks, or work stoppages could adversely
affect the Companies’ operations and liquidity and could result in substantial liability, higher costs, increased
regulatory requirements and substantial penalties. The violation of laws or regulations by employees or contractors
for personal gain may result from contract and procurement fraud, extortion, bribe acceptance, fraudulent related-
party transactions and serious breaches of corporate policy or standards of business conduct. Competition for

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

employee and contractor talent may result in operating challenges and increased costs to attract and retain talent. If
the Companies are unable to successfully attract and retain an appropriately qualified workforce, their results of
operations, financial position and cash flows could be negatively affected. See “Human Capital” in Item 1.

Environmental Risks:
The Companies Are Exposed To Risks From The Environmental Consequences Of Their Operations. The
Companies are exposed to risks relating to climate change and related matters. In 2023, CECONY and O&R each
completed a climate change vulnerability study that evaluated their respective future climate change adaptation
strategies and each developed a climate change resilience plan to address projected physical climate risks and
outline resilience investments. CECONY may be impacted by environmental regulations regarding emissions
reductions such as New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act and New York City’s Climate
Mobilization Act. In addition, the Utilities are responsible for hazardous substances, such as oil, asbestos, PCBs and
coal tar, that have been used or produced in the course of the Utilities’ operations and are present on properties or
in facilities and equipment currently or previously owned by them. The Companies could be adversely affected if a
causal relationship between electric and magnetic fields and adverse health effects were to be established. The
Companies may also be adversely affected by developments to legal or public policy doctrines regarding cable that
contains lead. See “Environmental Matters” in Item 1 and Note G to the financial statements in Item 8.

Financial and Market Risks:
Con Edison’s Ability To Pay Dividends Or Interest Depends On Dividends From Its Subsidiaries. Con
Edison’s ability to pay dividends on its common shares or interest on its external borrowings depends primarily on
the dividends and other distributions it receives from its subsidiaries. The dividends that the Utilities may pay to Con
Edison are limited by the NYSPSC to not more than 100 percent of their respective income available for dividends
calculated on a two-year rolling average basis, with certain exceptions. See “Dividends” in Note C and Note U to the
financial statements in Item 8.

Changes To Tax Laws Could Adversely Affect the Companies. Changes to tax laws, regulations or
interpretations thereof could have a material adverse impact on the Companies. Depending on the extent of these
changes, the changes could also adversely impact the Companies’ credit ratings and liquidity. See “Capital
Requirements and Resources – Capital Resources” in Item 1, “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Cash Flows from
Operating Activities” in Item 7, "Rate Plans" and "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Note L to the financial
statements in Item 8.

The Companies Require Access To Capital Markets To Satisfy Funding Requirements. The Utilities estimate
that their construction expenditures will exceed $27,700 million over the next five years. The Utilities use internally-
generated funds, equity contributions from Con Edison, if any, and external borrowings to fund construction
expenditures. Con Edison expects to finance its capital requirements primarily through internally generated funds,
the sale of its common shares or external borrowings. Changes in financial market conditions or in the Companies’
credit ratings could adversely affect their ability to raise new capital and the cost thereof. See “Capital Requirements
and Resources” in Item 1.

A Disruption In The Wholesale Energy Markets, Increased Commodity Costs Or Failure By An Energy
Supplier or Customer Could Adversely Affect The Companies. Almost all the electricity and gas the Utilities
sell to their full-service customers is purchased through the wholesale energy markets or pursuant to contracts with
energy suppliers. See the description of the Utilities’ energy supply in Item 1. A disruption in the wholesale energy
markets or a failure on the part of the Utilities’ energy suppliers or operators of energy delivery systems that connect
to the Utilities’ energy facilities could adversely affect their ability to meet their customers’ energy needs and
adversely affect the Companies. The Utilities' ability to gain access to additional energy supplies, if needed,
depends on effective markets and siting approvals for developer projects, which the Utilities do not control. An
extreme cold weather event in December 2022 (Winter Storm Elliott) negatively impacted energy infrastructure in
the northeastern United States, including the interstate natural gas system. During Winter Storm Elliott, CECONY
faced low pressures on the interstate natural gas pipelines that it relies upon to deliver gas to its customers.
Although CECONY maintained system pressure, the low pressure could have resulted in unprecedented large-scale
gas outages within CECONY’s territory. CECONY estimates that, in the worst case, restoring gas service could
have taken months in the event of a complete loss of the system. In the event of a large-scale outage, the Utilities
could be required to pay substantial amounts to restore service, compensate others for injury or death or other
damages and settle any proceedings initiated by regulatory agencies. In November 2023, FERC, NERC and other
regional entities issued recommendations to prevent a recurrence of the effects of Winter Storm Elliott, including
establishing and monitoring cold weather reliability standards for interstate natural gas pipelines. Although the
Utilities’ rate plans provide for recovery of purchased power costs, increases in electric and gas commodity prices
may contribute to a slower recovery of cash from outstanding customer accounts receivable balances. See
“Financial and Commodity Market Risks – Commodity Price Risk” in Item 7.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Other Risks:

The Companies Face Risks Related To Health Epidemics And Other Outbreaks. Pandemic illness could
disrupt the Utilities' employees and contractors from providing essential utility services and adversely impact the
Companies' liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The Companies’ Strategies May Not Be Effective To Address Changes In The External Business
Environment. The failure to identify, plan and execute strategies to address changes in the external business
environment could have a material adverse impact on the Companies. Con Edison seeks to provide shareholder
value through continued dividend growth, supported by earnings growth in regulated utilities and contracted electric
assets. Changes to the competitive landscape, public policy, laws or regulations (or interpretations thereof),
customer behavior or technology could significantly impact the value of the Utilities’ energy delivery facilities and
Con Edison Transmission's investment in electric and gas transmission projects. Such changes could also affect the
Companies’ opportunities to make additional investments in such assets and the potential return on the
investments. The Utilities' gas delivery customers and CECONY's steam delivery customers have alternatives, such
as electricity and oil. Distributed energy resources, and demand reduction and energy efficiency investments,
provide ways for the energy consumers within the Utilities’ service areas to manage their energy usage. The
Companies expect distributed energy resources and electric alternatives to gas and steam to increase, and for gas
and steam usage to decrease, as the CLCPA and the Climate Mobilization Act continue to be implemented. See
"Con Edison Transmission," "Environmental Matters - Clean Energy Future" and "Environmental Matters - Climate
Change," “Competition” and "CECONY - Gas Peak Demand" in Item 1.

The Companies Face Risks Related To Supply Chain Disruptions And Inflation. The Companies have been
impacted, and expect to continue to be impacted by, global and U.S. supply chain disruptions and shortages of
materials, equipment, labor and other resources that are critical to the Companies’ business operations, primarily
the Utilities’ electric and central operations. Such disruptions and shortages have resulted in increased prices and
lead times for critical orders of materials and equipment needed by the Companies in their operations, such as
certain raw materials, microprocessors, semiconductors, microchips, vehicles and transformers. Long lead times for
replacement parts could restrict the availability and delay the construction, maintenance or repair of items that are
needed to support the Utilities' normal operations and may result in prolonged customer outages, which could in
turn lead to unrecovered costs for such service interruptions. Demand for electric equipment is increasing due to
utilities’ efforts to meet clean energy goals and in order to prepare for more frequent extreme weather events at a
time when manufacturing capacity and supply are decreasing. Geopolitical conflicts have also caused supply chain
distributions and shortages. Prices of materials, equipment, transportation and other resources have increased as a
result of these supply chain disruptions and shortages and may continue to increase as a result of inflation.
Increases in inflation may raise the Companies’ costs in excess of the costs reflected in the Utilities’ rate plans and
could also increase the amount of capital that needs to be raised by the Companies and the costs of such capital.

The Companies Also Face Other Risks That Are Beyond Their Control. The Companies’ results of operations
can be affected by circumstances or events that are beyond their control. Weather and energy efficiency efforts
directly influence the demand for electricity, gas and steam service, and can affect the price of energy commodities.
Terrorist or other physical attacks or acts of war could damage the Companies' facilities. Economic conditions can
affect customers’ demand and ability to pay for service, which could adversely affect the Companies.

CECONY
CECONY has no unresolved comments from the SEC staff.

Item 1C: Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity Risk Management
The Companies have identified cybersecurity as a key enterprise risk. As operators of critical energy infrastructure,
the Companies require the continuous operation of information systems and network infrastructure. Cybersecurity
threats are assessed, identified and managed as part of the Companies’ corporate-wide Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) program. The ERM program establishes processes to identify emerging issues; monitor,
assess and mitigate known risks; align risk exposure to organizational priorities; and inform business decisions and
resource allocation. In accordance with the Companies’ ERM program, management has established a
multidisciplinary cybersecurity team including personnel from the technology, operations, legal, compliance, and risk
management departments that identifies, assesses and remediates cybersecurity risks.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

The Companies employ several processes to manage their cybersecurity risks, including, but not limited to, the
following:

•

Incident Detection and Prevention: The Companies deploy safeguards designed to protect their operational
and information systems, the personal information of their customers and employees and other critical
information from cybersecurity threats. These safeguards include, among other things, intrusion prevention
and detection systems, anti-malware functionality and ongoing vulnerability assessments.
Review and Assessment: The Companies assess the severity, likelihood and controllability of cybersecurity
threats and consider risk outlook, recent external and internal cybersecurity events and audit findings to
assess their overall cybersecurity risk management process. The Companies then use the findings from
these assessments to inform cybersecurity risk mitigation activities, including long-term strategic and short-
term tactical efforts, and capital allocation decisions.
Independent Advisors: The Companies engage consultants to assess, identify and manage material risks
from cybersecurity threats on a regular basis. The consultants are engaged to, among other things, assess
the process by which cybersecurity threats are identified; provide incident response and forensic services;
review and analyze cybersecurity controls and infrastructure; and provide threat emulation services.
Third-Party Risk Assessments: The Companies’ vendors and suppliers participate in a third-party risk
assessment to periodically validate such party’s profile across multiple risk domains. A cybersecurity risk
assessment is performed by the Companies’ Information Technology department to assess the controls of
high-risk third parties that, among other things, possess the Companies’ sensitive information and the
personal information of their customers and employees.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures: Management has developed protocols and procedures to share
information regarding cybersecurity incidents with the Chief Information Security Officer, Chief Privacy
Officer, the Companies’ Disclosure Committee and the Law Department to enable assessments related to
disclosure and reporting obligations in compliance with federal and state cybersecurity and data privacy
regulations.
Incident Response: The Companies have established and maintain incident response plans that set forth
procedures for their response to cybersecurity incidents and data breaches and test and evaluate such
plans on an ongoing basis.
Training and Compliance: The Companies train employees regularly on potential cybersecurity threats;
perform drills; monitor network and computing systems; collaborate with government and industry partners
on threat mitigation; and also collaborate with local, state and federal agencies and utility industry
colleagues to identify and employ tools that seek to protect the Companies’ operational and information
systems and the personal information of their customers and employees from cybersecurity threats.

The Companies have experienced cybersecurity incidents and attacks in the past and expect to experience them in
the future. None of the incidents or attacks that the Companies experienced have had a material impact on the
Companies’ business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. Although the Companies have
established processes to assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks, such processes do not provide absolute
assurance against a cybersecurity attack that could materially impact the Companies. In the event of a
cybersecurity incident or attack that the Companies were unable to defend against or mitigate, the Companies’
business strategy, results of operations or financial condition are reasonably likely to be materially affected. Such an
incident could disrupt the Companies’ or their customers’ operations, cause damage to the Companies’ properties,
financial and other information systems and network infrastructure and could result in the theft of the Companies’,
their employees’ or customers’ information. See “A Cyber Attack Could Adversely Affect the Companies” in Item 1A.

Role of Management in Cybersecurity Risk Management
The Companies have established a cybersecurity team that manages the Companies’ cybersecurity risk. The
cybersecurity team is led by the Chief Information Security Officer, a utility industry professional with over 20 years
of experience in information technology, reliability and cybersecurity. The Chief Information Security Officer also
leads collaborative efforts between the government and utility sector partners. The cybersecurity team reports to a
multidisciplinary team of executives and senior officers including personnel from the technology and operations
departments who are responsible for the review and approval of changes in cybersecurity risk assessment and
have oversight of risk mitigation and monitoring strategies. The executive and senior officer teams are led by the
Vice President, IT Engineering and Operations, an executive with over 25 years of experience in the utility field
across various roles in the Information Technology department and who is accountable for the Companies’
information technology assets and the Senior Vice President, Corporate Shared Services, a senior executive with
over 30 years of experience in the utility field and who is responsible for shared services functions including the
information technology department.

The cybersecurity team’s processes to protect the personal information of the Companies’ customers and
employees are supported by a privacy compliance team. The privacy compliance team is led by the Chief Privacy
Officer, a professional with over 18 years of experience in data privacy risk and compliance and who is a Certified
Information Privacy Professional and a Certified Information Privacy Manager and is designated as a Fellow in

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Privacy. The Chief Privacy Officer reports to the Vice President and Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, an
attorney and executive who has over 25 years of experience in the legal, ethics, and compliance fields and is
responsible for the company’s ethics and compliance program and department, including data privacy compliance.
The Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer reports to the Senior Vice President and General Counsel, the Companies’
lead attorney and a senior executive with over 20 years of risk management, corporate governance and team
leadership experience.

Role of Board of Directors and Board of Trustees in Cybersecurity Risk Management
Con Edison’s Board of Directors and CECONY’s Board of Trustees (collectively, the Board) and their respective
Audit Committees provide oversight of cybersecurity risks. There is a process in place for the Board and the Audit
Committee to receive information and ongoing updates from the Senior Vice President, Corporate Shared Services,
regarding significant and potentially significant cybersecurity incidents and a range of cybersecurity metrics. The
Board receives an annual presentation and report on cybersecurity risks from the Chief Information Security Officer
that addresses various topics, such as recent developments, vulnerability assessments and third-party and
independent reviews. The Audit Committee also meets annually with the Chief Information Security Officer in
executive session, without management present. At each regular Board meeting, the Board reviews a cybersecurity
dashboard prepared by the Chief Information Security Officer that includes updates on a range of cybersecurity
metrics and topics. The Audit Committee oversees the ERM program and reviews more in-depth cybersecurity
matters and risks on a semi-annual basis.

Item 5: Market for the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of
Equity Securities

Con Edison
Con Edison’s Common Shares ($.10 par value), the only class of common equity of Con Edison, are traded on the
New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "ED." As of January 31, 2024, there were 35,988 holders of
record of Con Edison’s Common Shares. Con Edison paid quarterly dividends of 79 cents per Common Share in
2022 and quarterly dividends of 81 cents per Common Share in 2023. On January 18, 2024, Con Edison declared a
quarterly dividend of 83 cents per Common Share that is payable on March 15, 2024. Con Edison expects to pay
dividends to its shareholders primarily from dividends and other distributions it receives from its subsidiaries. The
payment of future dividends is subject to approval and declaration by Con Edison’s Board of Directors and will
depend on a variety of factors including business, financial and regulatory considerations. For additional information
about the payment of dividends by the Utilities to Con Edison, and restrictions thereon, see “Dividends” in Note C to
the financial statements in Item 8 (which information is incorporated herein by reference).

During 2023, the market price of Con Edison’s Common Shares decreased by 5.72 percent (from $95.31 at year-
end 2022 to $90.97 at year-end 2023). By comparison, the S&P 500 Index increased 23.91 percent and the S&P
500 Utilities Index decreased 11.06 percent. The total return to Con Edison’s common shareholders during 2023,

Item 7: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This combined management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations relates to the
consolidated financial statements included in this report of two separate registrants: Con Edison and CECONY, and
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto. As used in this report, the term
the “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY. CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and, as such,
information in this management’s discussion and analysis about CECONY applies to Con Edison.

Information in any item of this report referred to in this discussion and analysis is incorporated by reference herein.
The use of terms such as “see” or “refer to” shall be deemed to incorporate by reference into this discussion and
analysis the information to which reference is made.

See "Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in Con
Edison's and CECONY's combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with
the SEC on February 16, 2023, for a discussion of variance drivers for the year ended December 31, 2022, as
compared to December 31, 2021.

Corporate Overview
Con Edison’s principal business operations are those of the Utilities and Con Edison Transmission. CECONY is a
regulated utility that provides electric service in New York City and New York's Westchester County, gas service in
Manhattan, the Bronx, parts of Queens and parts of Westchester, and steam service in Manhattan. O&R is a
regulated utility serving customers in a 1,300-square-mile-area in southeastern New York State and northern New
Jersey. Con Edison Transmission, through its subsidiaries, invests in electric transmission projects supporting Con
Edison's effort to transition to clean, renewable energy and manages, through joint ventures, both electric and gas
assets while seeking to develop electric transmission projects that will bring clean, renewable electricity to
customers, focusing on New York, New England, the Mid-Atlantic states and the Midwest. On March 1, 2023, Con
Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X to the
financial statements in Item 8.

In addition to the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A and the Companies’ material contingencies described
in Notes B, G and H to the financial statements in Item 8, the Companies’ management considers the following
events, trends, and uncertainties to be important to understanding the Companies’ current and future financial
condition.

Clean Energy Goals
The success of the Companies’ efforts to meet federal, state and city clean energy policy goals and the impact of
energy consumers' efforts to meet such goals on CECONY’s electric, gas and steam businesses and O&R’s electric
and gas businesses may impact the Companies’ future financial condition. The Utilities expect electric usage to
increase and gas and steam usage to decrease in their service territories as federal, state and local laws and
policies are enacted and implemented that aim to reduce the carbon intensity of the energy that is consumed. The
Utilities’ and their regulators’ efforts to maintain electric reliability in their service territories as electric usage
increases may also impact the Companies’ future financial condition. The long-term future of the Utilities’ gas
businesses depends upon the role that natural gas or other gaseous fuels will play in facilitating New York State’s
and New York City’s climate goals. In addition, the impact and costs of climate change on the Utilities’ systems and
the success of the Utilities’ efforts to maintain system reliability and manage service interruptions resulting from
severe weather may impact the Companies’ future financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Aged Accounts Receivable Balances
At December 31, 2023, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivables balances of $2,683 million and $95
million, respectively, included aged accounts receivables (balances outstanding in excess of 60 days) of $1,225
million and $21 million, respectively. In comparison, CECONY’s and O&R’s customer accounts receivable balances
at February 28, 2020 were $1,322 million and $89 million, respectively, including aged accounts receivables of $408
million and $15 million, respectively. Prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Utilities’ practice was to write
off customer accounts receivables as uncollectible 90 days after the account is disconnected for non-payment or the
account is closed during the collection process. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York State enacted laws
prohibiting New York utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from disconnecting residential customers and small
business customers. The Utilities largely suspended service disconnections, certain collection notices, final bill
collection agency activity, new late payment charges and certain other fees from March 2020 through December
2021. CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans include reconciliation of late payment charges (from January 1, 2023
through December 31, 2025) and write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances (from January 1, 2020

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

through December 31, 2025) to amounts reflected in rates, with recovery/refund from or to customers via surcharge/
sur-credit. CECONY's surcharge recoveries for late payment charges and write-offs of accounts receivable
balances will, collectively, be subject to separate annual caps for electric and gas that produce no more than a half
percent (0.5 percent) total customer bill impact per commodity (estimated for electric to be $57.3 million, $60.3
million, $62.6 million for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, and for gas to be $14.8 million, $15.9 million and $16.8
million for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively). Amounts in excess of the surcharge caps will be deferred as a
regulatory asset for recovery in CECONY’s next base rate cases. O&R’s 2022 - 2024 rate plans include
reconciliation of late payment charges to amounts reflected in rates for years 2022 through 2024, with full recovery/
refund via surcharge/sur-credit once the annual variance equals or exceeds 5 basis points of return on equity and
reconciliation of write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances to amounts reflected in rates from January 1,
2020 through December 31, 2024, with full recovery/refund via surcharge/sur-credit once the annual variance
equals or exceeds 5 basis points of return on equity. Although these regulatory mechanisms are in place, a
continued slower recovery in cash of outstanding customer accounts receivable balances has impacted the
Companies’ liquidity and may continue to impact liquidity. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Capital
Requirements and Resources,” below and "Regulatory Matters – Rate Plans" and “COVID-19 Regulatory Matters”
in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Con Edison Transmission
Con Edison Transmission, through its New York Transco partnership and jointly with the New York Power Authority,
is developing the Propel NY Energy transmission project that will deliver offshore wind energy from Long Island to
New York City, Westchester County and the rest of New York State's high voltage power grid. Con Edison
Transmission expects to continue to participate in competitive solicitations to develop additional electric projects.
The success of Con Edison Transmission’s efforts in these competitive solicitations and to grow its electric
transmission portfolio may impact Con Edison’s future capital requirements. See "Con Edison Transmission" in Item
1.

Inflation Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the Act) was signed into law and included a new 15
percent Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT). Under the Act, a corporation is subject to the CAMT if its
average annual Adjusted Financial Statement Income (AFSI) for the three taxable year period ending prior to the
taxable year exceeds $1,000 million, and applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Con Edison and
CECONY were not subject to the CAMT in 2023 but are expected to be subject to the CAMT in subsequent years.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

However, the provisions of the CAMT are not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

New York Legislation
In April 2021, New York passed a law that increased the corporate franchise tax rate on business income from 6.5
percent to 7.25 percent, retroactive to January 1, 2021, for taxpayers with taxable income greater than $5 million.
The law also reinstated the business capital tax at 0.1875 percent, not to exceed a maximum tax liability of $5
million per taxpayer. New York requires a corporate franchise taxpayer to calculate and pay the highest amount of
tax under the three alternative methods: a tax on business income; a tax on business capital; or a fixed dollar
minimum. The provisions to increase the corporate franchise tax rate and reinstate a capital tax were scheduled to
expire after 2023. In May 2023, New York passed a law that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax
rate from 6.5 percent to 7.25 percent for an additional three years, through tax year 2026 and extended the
business capital tax through tax year 2026. New York also passed a law establishing a permanent rate of 30
percent for the metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge. As a result of the sale of the Clean Energy
Businesses in 2023, Con Edison has New York State taxable income in excess of $5 million after using its entire
New York state net operating loss carryforward, and therefore, the group is subject to the higher 7.25 percent rate
(9.425 percent with the surcharge rate) on its taxable income for tax year 2023. As a result of this legislation,
CECONY remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities that would reverse before 2027 and recorded state
deferred income tax expense (net of federal tax benefit) and an increase in accumulated deferred tax liabilities of
$10 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, all of which was recorded in the second quarter of 2023.

a. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-

normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery
volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. Effective November 1, 2023, revenues from CECONY’s steam
sales are also subject to a weather normalization clause, as a result of which, delivery revenues reflect normal weather
conditions during the heating season. In general, the Utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale
and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not
generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations.

b. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses and therefore 2023

reflects the financial results for the two months ended February 2023.

affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved.
“Residential/Religious” generally includes single-family dwellings, individual apartments in multi-family dwellings, religious organizations
and certain other not-for-profit organizations.

(c) Other electric operating revenues generally reflect changes in the revenue decoupling mechanism current asset or regulatory liability and

changes in regulatory assets and liabilities in accordance with other provisions of CECONY’s rate plan.

(d) After adjusting for variations, primarily weather and billing days, electric delivery volumes in CECONY’s service area increased 0.7 percent

in 2023 compared with 2022.

Operating revenues increased $327 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to an increase in revenues
from the electric rate plan ($374 million) and higher purchased power expenses ($117 million), offset in part by lower
fuel expenses ($89 million) and lower unbilled revenue accrual ($80 million).

Purchased power expenses increased $117 million in 2023 compared with 2022 due to higher unit costs ($163
million), offset in part by lower purchased volume ($46 million).

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Fuel expenses decreased $89 million in 2023 compared with 2022 due to lower unit costs ($94 million), offset in
part by higher purchased volumes from the company’s electric generating facilities ($5 million).

Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $44 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to
higher total surcharges for assessments and fees that are collected in revenues from customers ($21 million),
higher electric operations maintenance activities ($13 million) and higher health care costs ($2 million).

Depreciation and amortization increased $80 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to higher electric
utility plant balances.

Taxes, other than income taxes increased $103 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to higher property
taxes ($138 million), a higher deferral to levelize the customer bill impact of the electric rate plan ($15 million) and
higher payroll taxes ($6 million), offset in part by a lower deferral of over-collected property taxes ($55 million).

(c) After adjusting for variations, primarily weather prior to November 1, 2023, and billing days, steam sales and deliveries in the company’s

service area decreased 0.1 percent in 2023 compared with 2022.

Operating revenues decreased $24 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to lower purchased power
expenses ($24 million) and the impact of milder than normal weather ($27 million), offset in part by higher fuel
expenses ($15 million), benefit from the new steam rate plan ($11 million) and tax law sur-credit ($4 million).

Purchased power expenses decreased $24 million in 2023 compared with 2022 due to lower unit costs ($26
million), offset in part by higher purchased volumes ($2 million).

Fuel expenses increased $15 million in 2023 compared with 2022 due to higher unit costs ($38 million), offset in
part by lower purchased volumes from the company’s steam generating facilities ($23 million).

Other operations and maintenance expenses increased $34 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to
higher costs for pension and other postretirement benefits, reflecting reconciliation to the rate plan level ($16
million), higher steam operations maintenance activities ($9 million) and an increase in municipal infrastructure
support ($5 million).

Other Income (Deductions)
Other deductions decreased $37 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to lower transaction costs at the
parent company incurred from the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses ($37 million). See Note W and Note X to
the financial statements in Item 8.

Income Tax Expense
Income taxes decreased $45 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to the recognition of unamortized
investment tax credits ($106 million), a remeasurement of state deferred tax assets and liabilities ($142 million),
both related to the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, a decrease in the valuation allowance on state and local
income tax assets ($10 million) and an increase in amortization of investment tax credits ($3 million), offset in part
by higher income before income tax expense due to the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses ($214 million) and a
higher unitary state tax adjustment, net of federal benefit ($5 million).

Note X to the financial statements in Item 8.

Income Tax Expense
Income taxes decreased $81 million in 2023 compared with 2022 primarily due to lower income before income tax
expense ($92 million), lower loss attributable to non-controlling interest ($15 million) and a lower reserve for
uncertain tax positions ($5 million), offset in part by lower renewable energy tax credits ($30 million). On March 1,
2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses and the impact for the year

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companies’ liquidity reflects cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as shown on their
respective consolidated statements of cash flows and as discussed below.

The principal factors affecting Con Edison’s liquidity are its investments in the Utilities and Con Edison
Transmission, the dividends it pays to its shareholders and the dividends it receives from its subsidiaries and cash
flows from financing activities discussed below.

The principal factors affecting CECONY’s liquidity are its cash flows from operating activities, cash used in investing
activities (including construction expenditures), the dividends it pays to Con Edison and cash flows from financing
activities discussed below.

The Companies generally maintain minimal cash balances and use short-term borrowings to meet their working
capital needs and other cash requirements. The Companies repay their short-term borrowings using funds from
long-term financings and operating activities. The Utilities’ cost of capital, including working capital, is reflected in
the rates they charge to their customers.

Each of the Companies believes that it will be able to meet its reasonably likely short-term and long-term cash
requirements. See “The Companies Require Access To Capital Markets To Satisfy Funding Requirements,”

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities primarily reflect their energy sales and deliveries and cost of
operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is primarily affected by factors external to the Utilities, such
as customer demand, weather, market prices for energy and economic conditions. Measures that promote
distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation, demand reduction and energy efficiency, also affect
the volume of energy sales and deliveries. See "Competition" and "Environmental Matters – Clean Energy Future"
and “Environmental Matters – Climate Change” in Item 1.

Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities have recovered from customers a portion of the tax liability they will pay in
the future as a result of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. These
temporary differences affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, as the Companies are required to record
deferred tax assets and liabilities at the current corporate tax rate for the temporary differences. For the Utilities,
credits to their customers of the net benefits of the TCJA, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate to 21
percent, decrease cash flows from operating activities. Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities also recover from
customers the amount of property taxes they will pay. The payment of property taxes by the Utilities affects the
timing of cash flows and increases the amount of short-term borrowings issued by the Utilities when property taxes
are due and as property taxes increase, but generally does not impact net income. See “Changes To Tax Laws
Could Adversely Affect the Companies,” in Item 1A, “Federal Income Tax” in Note A, “Rate Plans” in Note B, “Other
Regulatory Matters” in Note B and Note L to the financial statements in Item 8 and "Aged Accounts Receivable
Balances," above.

On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W
and Note X to the financial statements in Item 8.

Net income is the result of cash and non-cash (or accrual) transactions. Only cash transactions affect the
Companies’ cash flows from operating activities. Principal non-cash charges or credits include depreciation,
deferred income tax expense, amortizations of certain regulatory assets and liabilities and accrued unbilled
revenue. Non-cash charges or credits may also be accrued under the revenue decoupling and cost reconciliation
mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans. See “Rate Plans – CECONY– Electric and Gas"
and "Rate Plans – O&R New York – Electric and Gas” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8. For Con
Edison, 2021 net income also included non-cash losses recognized with respect to impairments of Con Edison
Transmission’s investments in MVP, Stagecoach and Honeoye.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified within the Companies' cash flows from operating activities to
conform with current period presentation.

Net cash flows from operating activities in 2023 for Con Edison were $1,779 million lower than in 2022. The
changes in net cash flows for Con Edison primarily reflect:

Net cash flows from operating activities in 2023 for CECONY were $978 million lower than in 2022. The changes in
net cash flows for CECONY primarily reflect:

•
•
•

lower other receivables and other current assets ($272 million);
lower revenue decoupling mechanism receivable ($89); and

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

•

lower prepayments ($42 million).

The change in net cash flows also reflects the timing of payments for and recovery of energy costs. This timing is
reflected within changes to accounts receivable – customers, recoverable and refundable energy costs within other
regulatory assets and liabilities and accounts payable balances.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Pursuant to their rate plans, the Utilities recover the cost of utility construction expenditures from customers,
including an approved rate of return (before and after being placed in service and an allowance for funds used
during construction (AFUDC) before being placed in service). Increases in the amount of utility construction
expenditures may temporarily increase the amount of short-term debt issued by the Utilities prior to the long-term
financing of such amounts.

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison were $3,562 million lower in 2023 than in 2022. The
change for Con Edison primarily reflects:

•

•
•

the proceeds from the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, net of cash and cash equivalents sold ($3,927
million);
lower non-utility construction expenditures ($203 million); offset in part by,
higher utility construction expenditures ($529 million).

Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison were $1,081 million higher in 2022 than in 2021. The
change for Con Edison primarily reflects:

•
•
•

the proceeds from the completion of the sale of Stagecoach in 2021 ($629 million);
higher utility construction expenditures ($194 million); and
the proceeds from the divestiture of renewable electric projects at the Clean Energy Businesses in 2021
($183 million).

Net cash flows used in investing activities for CECONY were $513 million higher in 2023 than in 2022. The change
for CECONY primarily reflects:

•
•

an increase in utility construction expenditures ($463 million); and
an increase in cost of removal less salvage ($50 million).

Net cash flows used in investing activities for CECONY were $197 million higher in 2022 than in 2021. The change
for CECONY primarily reflects:

•

an increase in utility construction expenditures ($183 million).

CECONY
Current assets at December 31, 2023 were $734 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in current
assets primarily reflects increases in accounts receivables, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts ($231 million)
(see “COVID-19 Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 and “Aged Accounts Receivable
Balances,” above), an increase to accrued unbilled revenue ($105 million), an increase in prepayments ($106
million), an increase in accounts receivable from affiliated companies ($100 million), an increase in cash and
temporary cash investments ($82 million) and an increase in the revenue decoupling mechanism receivable ($26
million).

Investments at December 31, 2023 were $69 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in investments
primarily reflects increases in supplemental retirement income plan assets ($63 million) and deferred income plan
assets ($6 million). See "Investments" in Note A and Note E to the financial statements in Item 8.

Net plant at December 31, 2023 was $2,637 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in net plant
primarily reflects an increase in electric ($2,172 million), gas ($888 million), steam ($150 million) and general ($651
million) plant balances, offset in part by an increase in accumulated depreciation ($1,124 million) and a decrease in
construction work in progress ($100 million).

Other noncurrent assets at December 31, 2023 were $715 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in
other noncurrent assets primarily reflects an increase in the regulatory assets for COVID-19 pandemic deferrals
($393 million), system peak reduction and energy efficiency programs ($258 million) and deferred derivative losses -
long term ($122 million), offset in part by a decrease in the regulatory assets for unrecognized pension and other
postretirement costs ($78 million). The change in the regulatory asset also reflects the period's amortization of
accounting costs. See Notes B, E, and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Current liabilities at December 31, 2023 were $342 million lower than at December 31, 2022. The change in current
liabilities primarily reflects decreases in notes payable ($397 million), accounts payable ($134 million) and accrued
taxes to affiliated companies ($88 million), offset in part by increases in long-term debt due within one year ($250
million) and customer deposits ($37 million).

Noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2023 were $499 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in
noncurrent liabilities primarily reflects increases in deferred income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits
($840 million), the regulatory liabilities for pension and other postretirement benefit deferrals ($135 million),
allowance for cost of removal less salvage ($129 million) and asset retirement obligations ($21 million), offset in part
by a decrease in the regulatory liabilities for unrecognized other postretirement costs ($669 million). See Notes E
and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

Long-term debt at December 31, 2023 was $1,730 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in long-
term debt primarily reflects the 2023 issuances of $2,000 million of debentures, offset in part by the reclassification
of $250 million of long-term debt to long-term debt due within one year. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash
Flows From Financing Activities" above and Note C to the financial statements in Item 8.

Equity at December 31, 2023 was $2,268 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in equity primarily
reflects net income for the year ($1,606 million) and capital contributions from parent ($1,720 million) in 2023, offset
in part by common stock dividends to parent ($1,056 million) in 2023 and a decrease in other comprehensive
income ($2 million).

O&R
Current assets at December 31, 2023 were $30 million lower than at December 31, 2022. The change in current
assets primarily reflects decreases in accrued unbilled revenue ($29 million), cash and temporary cash investments
($13 million) and accounts receivables, net of allowance for uncollectible accounts ($5 million) (see “COVID-19
Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8 and “Aged Accounts Receivable Balances,”
above), offset in part by increases in revenue decoupling mechanism receivable ($13 million) and accounts
receivable from affiliated companies ($6 million).

Net plant at December 31, 2023 was $205 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in net plant
primarily reflects an increase in electric ($80 million), gas ($48 million), an increase in construction work in progress
($60 million) and a decrease in accumulated depreciation ($38 million), offset in part by a decrease in general ($21
million) plant balances.

Other noncurrent assets at December 31, 2023 were $13 million lower than at December 31, 2022. The change in
other noncurrent assets primarily reflects decreases in regulatory assets ($12 million) and the fair value of derivative
assets ($6 million), offset in part by an increase in the pension and retiree benefits ($6 million).

Current liabilities at December 31, 2023 were $60 million lower than at December 31, 2020. The change in current
liabilities primarily reflects decreases in regulatory liabilities ($28 million), notes payable ($13 million) and accounts
payables to affiliates ($11 million).

Noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2023 were $43 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in
noncurrent liabilities primarily reflects an increase in deferred income taxes and unamortized investment tax credits
($47 million), offset in part by a decrease in superfund and other environmental costs ($3 million).

Long-term debt at December 31, 2023 was $50 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in long-term
debt reflects the December 2023 issuance of $50 million of debentures. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources -
Cash Flows From Financing Activities" above.

Equity at December 31, 2023 was $131 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in equity primarily
reflects net income for the year ($96 million) and capital contributions from parent ($100 million), offset in part by

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Con Edison Transmission
Current assets at December 31, 2023 were $21 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The increase in current
assets primarily reflects an increase in cash and temporary investments ($25 million).

Investments at December 31, 2023 were $79 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The increase in
investments reflects additional investment in New York Transco ($45 million) and non-cash equity in earnings from
allowance for funds used during construction from MVP ($33 million).

Current liabilities at December 31, 2023 were $158 million lower than at December 31, 2022. The change in current
liabilities primarily reflects repayment of an intercompany loan ($154 million).

Noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2023 were $10 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in
noncurrent liabilities primarily reflects an increase in the accumulated deferred income taxes on earnings from
investments in New York Transco and MVP ($9 million).

Equity at December 31, 2023 was $248 million higher than at December 31, 2022. The change in equity primarily
reflects an equity contribution from the parent, the proceeds of which were primarily used to repay an intercompany
loan.

Clean Energy Businesses
On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W
and Note X to the financial statements in Item 8.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Regulatory Matters
For information about the Utilities’ rate plans and other regulatory matters affecting the Companies, see “Utility
Regulation” in Item 1 and Note B to the financial statements in Item 8.

Risk Factors
The Companies’ businesses are influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, and that involve
uncertainties that may materially affect actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. See “Risk
Factors” in Item 1A.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The Companies’ financial statements reflect the application of certain critical accounting estimates, which conform
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companies’ critical accounting
estimates include assumptions applied to accounting for: pensions and other postretirement benefits, contingencies,
derivative instruments, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, asset retirement obligations and income
taxes. Also, see “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters” in Note A to the financial
statements in Item 8.

Accounting for Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Utilities provide pensions and other postretirement benefits to substantially all of their employees and retirees.
Con Edison Transmission also provides such benefits to transferred employees who previously worked for the
Utilities. The Companies account for these benefits in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits.
In addition, the Utilities apply the accounting rules for regulated operations to account for the regulatory treatment of
these obligations (which, as described in Note B to the financial statements in Item 8, reconciles the amounts
reflected in rates for the costs of the benefit to the costs actually incurred). In applying these accounting policies, the
Companies have made critical estimates related to actuarial assumptions, including assumptions of expected
returns on plan assets, discount rates, health care cost trends and future compensation. See Notes A, E and F to
the financial statements in Item 8 for information about the Companies’ pension and other postretirement benefits,
the actuarial assumptions, actual performance, amortization of investment and other actuarial gains and losses and
calculated plan costs for 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The discount rate for determining the present value of future period benefit payments is determined using a model
to match the durations of Aa rated (by either Moody’s or S&P) corporate bonds with the projected stream of benefit
payments.

In determining the health care cost trend rate, the Companies review actual recent cost trends and projected future
trends.

The cost of pension and other postretirement benefits in future periods will depend on actual returns on plan assets,
assumptions for future periods, contributions and benefit experience. Con Edison’s and CECONY’s current
estimates for 2024 are increases, compared with 2023, in their pension and other postretirement benefits costs of
$181 million and $168 million, respectively, largely driven by decreases in the discount rates used to determine plan
liabilities. See Notes E and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

The following table illustrates the effect on 2024 pension and other postretirement costs of changing the critical
actuarial assumptions, while holding all other actuarial assumptions constant:

A 5 percentage point variation in the actual annual return in 2024, as compared with the expected annual asset
return of 6.75 percent, would change pension and other postretirement benefit costs for Con Edison and CECONY
by approximately $27 million and $25 million, respectively, in 2025.

Pension benefits are provided through a pension plan maintained by Con Edison to which CECONY, O&R and Con
Edison Transmission may make contributions for their participating employees. Pension accounting by the Utilities
includes an allocation of plan assets.

The Companies’ policy is to fund their pension and other postretirement benefit accounting costs to the extent tax
deductible, and for the Utilities, to the extent these costs are recovered under their rate plans. The Companies were
not required to make cash contributions to the pension plan in 2023 under funding regulations and tax laws.
However, CECONY and O&R made discretionary contributions to the pension plan in 2023 of $18 million and $3
million, respectively. In 2024, CECONY and O&R expect to make contributions to the pension plan of $9 million and
$2 million, respectively. See “Expected Contributions” in Notes E and F to the financial statements in Item 8.

Accounting for Contingencies
The accounting rules for contingencies apply to an existing condition, situation or set of circumstances involving
uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.
Known material contingencies, which are described in the notes to the financial statements, include certain
regulatory matters (Note B), the Utilities’ responsibility for hazardous substances, such as asbestos, PCBs and coal
tar that have been used or generated in the course of operations (Note G) and other contingencies (Note H). Inputs
to the estimation of the liability for such environmental remediation include the possible selected remedy for each
site where investigation is ongoing, the inflation rate related to the cost of inputs to the remediation process, and for
those sites where there are other potentially responsible parties, the allocation of costs to the Companies. Inputs to
the estimation of the liability for certain regulatory matters include facts specific to each item and the status and
progress of discussions with the applicable state regulator. Inputs to the estimation of the liability for other
contingencies may include liabilities incurred for similar circumstances and the outcome of legal proceedings. In
accordance with the accounting rules, the Companies have accrued estimates of losses relating to the

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

contingencies as to which loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and no liability has been accrued for
contingencies as to which loss is not probable or cannot be reasonably estimated.

The Utilities recover costs for asbestos lawsuits, workers’ compensation and environmental remediation pursuant to
their current rate plans. Generally, changes during the terms of the rate plans to the amounts accrued for these
contingencies would not impact earnings.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments
The Companies apply the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging to their derivative financial instruments. The
Companies use derivative financial instruments to hedge market price fluctuations in related underlying transactions
for the physical purchase and sale of electricity and gas. The Utilities are permitted by their respective regulators to
reflect in rates all reasonably incurred gains and losses on these instruments. See “Financial and Commodity
Market Risks,” below and Note P to the financial statements in Item 8.

Where the Companies are required to make mark-to-market estimates pursuant to the accounting rules, the
estimates of gains and losses at a particular period end do not reflect the end results of particular transactions and
will most likely not reflect the actual gain or loss at the conclusion of a transaction. Substantially all of the estimated
gains or losses are based on prices supplied by external sources such as the fair value of exchange-traded futures
and options and the fair value of positions for which price quotations are available through or derived from brokers
or other market sources. See Note Q to the financial statements in Item 8.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
The Companies develop expected loss estimates using past events data and consider current conditions and future
reasonable and supportable forecasts. For the Utilities’ customer accounts receivable allowance for uncollectible
accounts, past events considered include write-offs relative to customer accounts receivable; current conditions
include macro-and micro-economic conditions related to trends in the local economy, bankruptcy rates and aged
customer accounts receivable balances, among other factors; and forecasts about the future include assumptions
related to the level of write-offs and recoveries. From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2023, the historical write-off
rate was determined based on an historical weather event with a significant impact to the Companies’ service
territory. During that period, Con Edison's and CECONY's allowances for uncollectible accounts increased from $70
million and $65 million, respectively to $360 million and $353 million, respectively. See "COVID-19 Regulatory
Matters" in Note B and “Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts" in Note N to the financial statements in Item 8.

Asset Retirement Obligations (AROs)
AROs are computed as the present value of the estimated costs for an asset's future retirement and are recorded in
the period in which the liability is incurred. The estimated costs are capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset
and depreciated over the asset's useful life. CECONY and O&R, as rate-regulated entities, recognize Regulatory
Assets or Liabilities as a result of timing differences between the recording of costs and costs recovered through the
ratemaking process. Because quoted market prices are not available for AROs, the Companies estimate the fair
value of AROs by calculating discounted cash flows that are dependent upon various assumptions including
estimated retirement dates, discount rates, inflation rates, the timing and amount of future cash outlays, and
currently available technologies.

The Companies recorded asset retirement obligations associated with the removal of asbestos and asbestos-
containing material in their buildings (other than the structures enclosing generating stations and substations),
electric equipment and steam and gas distribution systems. The Companies also recorded asset retirement
obligations relating to gas and oil pipelines abandoned in place and municipal infrastructure support. See Note T to
the financial statements in Item 8.

A 1 percent increase in the assumed inflation rate used to value the ARO liability as of December 31, 2023 would
increase the liability by $40 million for Con Edison and CECONY.

Accounting for Income Taxes
The Companies record provisions for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and a valuation allowance
against net deferred tax assets, if any. The reporting of tax-related assets and liabilities requires the use of
estimates and significant judgments by management. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to represent
future effects on income taxes for temporary differences between the basis of assets for financial reporting and tax
purposes. Although management believes that current estimates for deferred tax assets and liabilities are

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates for several reasons, including, but not limited
to: a change in forecasted financial condition and/or results of operations; changes in income tax laws, enacted tax
rates or amounts subject to income tax or state apportionments; the form, structure, and timing of asset or stock
sales or dispositions; changes in the regulatory treatment of any tax reform benefits; and changes resulting from
audits and examinations by taxing authorities. Valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are recorded when
management concludes it is more likely than not such asset will not be realized in future periods. Accounting for
income taxes also requires that only tax benefits for positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns that meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold can be recognized or continue to be recognized. Management
evaluates each position solely on the technical merits and facts and circumstances of the position, assuming that
the position will be examined by a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Significant
judgment is required to determine recognition thresholds and the related amount of tax benefits to be recognized. At
each period end, and as new developments occur, management reevaluates its tax positions. Additional
interpretations, regulations, amendments, or technical corrections related to the federal income tax code as a result
of the Inflation Reduction Act, may impact the estimates for income taxes discussed above. See “Changes To Tax
Laws Could Adversely Affect the Companies” in Item 1A, “Inflation Reduction Act” above, “Federal Income Tax” and
“State Income Tax” in Note A and Note L to the financial statements in Item 8.

Financial and Commodity Market Risks
The Companies are subject to various risks and uncertainties associated with financial and commodity markets. The
most significant market risks include interest rate risk, commodity price risk and investment risk.

Interest Rate Risk
The Companies' interest rate risk primarily relates to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements,
including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities, and variable-rate debt. Con
Edison and its subsidiaries manage interest rate risk through the issuance of mostly fixed-rate debt with varying
maturities and through opportunistic refinancing of debt. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at December 31,
2023, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual
interest expense of $15 million and $12 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, Con Edison and CECONY
estimated that a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase
in annual interest expense of $17 million and $13 million, respectively. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas and
steam rate plans, variations in actual variable rate tax-exempt debt interest expense, including costs associated with
the refinancing of the variable rate tax-exempt debt, are reconciled to levels reflected in rates.

Inflationary pressure has prompted the Federal Reserve to increase interest rates. Higher interest rates have
resulted in, and are expected to continue to result in, increased interest expense on commercial paper, variable-rate
debt and long-term debt issuances.

Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison’s commodity price risk primarily relates to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative
instruments. The Utilities apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note P to the
financial statements in Item 8.

Con Edison estimates that, as of December 31, 2023, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline
in fair value of $149 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and
gas, of which $138 million is for CECONY and $11 million is for O&R. As of December 31, 2022, Con Edison
estimated that a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $214 million for the
derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $199 million is for
CECONY and $15 million is for O&R. Con Edison expects that any such change in fair value would be largely offset
by directionally opposite changes in the cost of the electricity and gas purchased.

The Utilities do not make any margin or profit on the electricity or gas they sell. In accordance with provisions
approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from full-service customers the costs they incur for
energy purchased for those customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge
energy purchased and related costs. See “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item
8. However, increases in electric and gas commodity prices may contribute to a slower recovery of cash from
outstanding customer accounts receivable balances.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Investment Risk
The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement
benefit plans. Con Edison's investment risk also relates to the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are
accounted for under the equity method. See “Critical Accounting Estimates – Accounting for Pensions and Other
Postretirement Benefits,” above and “Investments” in Note A and Notes E and F to the financial statements in
Item 8.

The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 26 to 30 percent
equity securities, 42 to 60 percent debt securities, 14 to 30 percent alternatives. At December 31, 2023, the pension
plan investments consisted of 26 percent equity securities, 50 percent debt securities and 24 percent alternatives.

For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied
in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued
by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from
customers the difference between the pension and other postretirement benefit expenses and the amounts for such
expenses reflected in rates. O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its New York rate plans.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

Management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2023, using the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment, management
has concluded that the Company had effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, has been
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, as stated
in their report which appears on the following page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Consolidated Edison, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes and financial statement
schedule, of Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as listed in the index appearing under
Item 8 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective
internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with
respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free
of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial
reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts
and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our
audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated
financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i)
relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our
especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter
in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the
accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Accounting for the Effects of Regulatory Matters

As described in Notes A and B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company applies the accounting rules
for regulated operations, which specifies the economic effects that result from the causal relationship of costs and
revenues in the rate-regulated environment and how these effects are to be accounted for by a regulated enterprise.
As of December 31, 2023, there were $4,888 million of deferred costs included in regulatory assets and $5,473
million of regulatory liabilities awaiting potential refund or future rate reductions. Under regulatory accounting rules,
if it is probable that incurred costs will be recovered in the future, those costs would be recorded as deferred
charges or “regulatory assets.” Similarly, if revenues are recorded for costs expected to be incurred in the future,
these revenues would be recorded as deferred credits or “regulatory liabilities.” The Company’s regulatory assets
and liabilities will be recovered from customers, or applied for customer benefit, in accordance with rate provisions
approved by the applicable state regulators.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the accounting for the
effects of regulatory matters is a critical audit matter are the significant judgment by management in determining the
recoverability of certain regulatory assets and the significant auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing
procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the recognition of regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities,
including evaluating management’s judgments relating to the recoverability of certain regulatory assets.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our
overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of
controls relating to management’s assessment of regulatory proceedings and the implementation of new regulatory
orders or changes to existing regulatory balances. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the
reasonableness of management’s assessment of impacts arising from correspondence with regulators and changes
in laws and regulations; evaluating management’s judgments related to the recoverability of regulatory assets and
the establishment of regulatory liabilities; and recalculating regulatory assets and liabilities based on provisions and
formulas outlined in rate orders and other correspondence with regulators.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2023, using the criteria established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013). Based on that assessment, management
has concluded that the Company had effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholder of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.:

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, of Consolidated Edison
Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as listed in the index appearing under Item 8
(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control -
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).

Basis for Opinions

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

Accounting for the Effects of Regulatory Matters

As described in Notes A and B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company applies the accounting rules
for regulated operations, which specifies the economic effects that result from the causal relationship of costs and
revenues in the rate-regulated environment and how these effects are to be accounted for by a regulated enterprise.
As of December 31, 2023, there were $4,568 million of deferred costs included in regulatory assets and $4,925
million of regulatory liabilities awaiting potential refund or future rate reductions. Under regulatory accounting rules,
if it is probable that incurred costs will be recovered in the future, those costs would be recorded as deferred
charges or “regulatory assets.” Similarly, if revenues are recorded for costs expected to be incurred in the future,
these revenues would be recorded as deferred credits or “regulatory liabilities.” The Company’s regulatory assets
and liabilities will be recovered from customers, or applied for customer benefit, in accordance with rate provisions
approved by the applicable state regulators.

Notes to the Financial Statements

General
These combined notes accompany and form an integral part of the separate consolidated financial statements of
each of the two separate registrants: Consolidated Edison, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Con Edison) and Consolidated
Edison Company of New York, Inc. and its subsidiaries (CECONY). CECONY is a subsidiary of Con Edison and as
such its financial condition and results of operations and cash flows, that are presented separately in the CECONY
consolidated financial statements, are also consolidated, along with those of Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc.
(O&R), Con Edison Transmission, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Con Edison Transmission) and its former
subsidiary, Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Clean Energy
Businesses), in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale
of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X. The term “Utilities” is used in these
notes to refer to CECONY and O&R.

As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY and, except as otherwise noted,
the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, CECONY makes no
representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself.
Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas
service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan.
O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiary, provides electric service in southeastern New York and northern New
Jersey and gas service in southeastern New York. Con Edison Transmission invests in and seeks to develop
electric transmission projects through its subsidiary, Consolidated Edison Transmission, LLC, and manages,
through joint ventures, investments in gas pipeline and storage facilities through its subsidiary, Con Edison Gas
Pipeline and Storage, LLC. See "Investments" in Note A and Note W.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters
Principles of Consolidation
The Companies’ consolidated financial statements include the accounts of their respective majority-owned
subsidiaries, and variable interest entities (see Note S), as required. All intercompany balances and intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of Con Edison and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles in
the United States of America (GAAP). For the Utilities, these accounting principles include the accounting rules for
regulated operations and the accounting requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and
the state regulators having jurisdiction.

The accounting rules for regulated operations specify the economic effects that result from the causal relationship of
costs and revenues in the rate-regulated environment and how these effects are to be accounted for by a regulated
enterprise. Revenues intended to cover some costs may be recorded either before or after the costs are incurred. If
regulation provides assurance that incurred costs will be recovered in the future, these costs would be recorded as
deferred charges or “regulatory assets” under the accounting rules for regulated operations. If revenues are
recorded for costs that are expected to be incurred in the future, these revenues would be recorded as deferred
credits or “regulatory liabilities” under the accounting rules for regulated operations.

The Utilities’ principal regulatory assets and liabilities are detailed in Note B. In general, the Utilities are receiving or
being credited with a return on their regulatory assets for which a cash outflow has been made, and are paying or
being charged with a return on their regulatory liabilities for which a cash inflow has been received. The Utilities’
regulatory assets and liabilities at December 31, 2023 are recoverable from customers, or to be applied for
customer benefit, in accordance with rate provisions that have been approved by state regulators.

Other significant accounting policies of the Companies are referenced below in this Note A and in the notes that
follow.

Revenues
CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans and O&R’s New York electric and gas rate plans each contain a revenue
decoupling mechanism, that covers all residential and most commercial customers, under which the company’s
actual energy delivery revenues are compared with the authorized delivery revenues and the difference accrued,
with interest, for refund to, or recovery from, customers, as applicable. See “Rate Plans” in Note B.

The NYSPSC requires utilities to record gross receipts tax revenues and expenses on a gross income statement
presentation basis (i.e., included in both revenue and expense). The recovery of these taxes is generally provided
for in the revenue requirement within each of the respective NYSPSC-approved rate plans. Total excise taxes
(inclusive of gross receipts taxes) recorded in operating revenues were as follows:

For information about the Companies' revenue recognition policies, see Note M.

Plant and Depreciation
Utility Plant
Utility plant is stated at original cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense and the cost of
betterments is capitalized. The capitalized cost of additions to utility plant includes indirect costs such as
engineering, supervision, payroll taxes, pensions, other benefits and an allowance for funds used during
construction (AFUDC). The original cost of property is charged to expense over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Upon retirement, the original cost of property is charged to accumulated depreciation. See Note T.

Rates used for AFUDC include the cost of borrowed funds and a reasonable rate of return on the Utilities’ own funds
when so used, determined in accordance with regulations of the FERC or the state public utility regulatory authority

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

105

having jurisdiction. The rate is compounded semiannually, and the amounts applicable to borrowed funds are
treated as a reduction of interest charges, while the amounts applicable to the Utilities’ own funds are credited to
other income (deductions). The AFUDC rates for CECONY were 5.9 percent, 5.2 percent and 4.5 percent for 2023,
2022 and 2021, respectively. The AFUDC rates for O&R were 6.2 percent, 5.0 percent and 4.8 percent for 2023,
2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Utilities generally compute annual charges for depreciation using the straight-line method for financial
statement purposes, with rates based on average service lives and net salvage factors. The average depreciation
rates for CECONY were 3.6 percent for 2023 and 3.5 percent for 2022 and 3.5 percent for 2021. The average
depreciation rates for O&R were 3.1 percent for 2023, 3.0 percent for 2022 and 3.1 percent for 2021.

The estimated lives for utility plant for CECONY range from 5 to 80 years for electric, 5 to 90 years for gas, 5 to 80
years for steam and 5 to 55 years for general plant. For O&R, the estimated lives for utility plant range from 5 to 75
years for electric and gas and 5 to 50 years for general plant.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the capitalized cost of the Companies’ utility plant, net of accumulated
depreciation, was as follows:

General utility plant of Con Edison and CECONY included $65 million and $62 million, respectively, at
December 31, 2023, and $72 million and $69 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022, related to a May 2018
acquisition of software licenses. The estimated aggregate annual amortization expense related to the software
licenses for Con Edison and CECONY is $7 million. The accumulated amortization for Con Edison and CECONY
was $38 million and $36 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023 and $31 million and $29 million, respectively, at
December 31, 2022.

Under the Utilities’ rate plans, the aggregate annual depreciation allowance for the period ended December 31,
2023 was $2,030 million, including $1,925 million under CECONY’s electric, gas and steam rate plans that have
been approved by the NYSPSC.

Non–Utility Plant
Non-utility plant is stated at original cost. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the
Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and X. For Con Edison, non-utility plant consisted primarily of the Clean
Energy Businesses’ renewable electric projects. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated
depreciation and include capitalized interest during construction. Depreciation is computed under the straight-line
method over the useful lives of the assets. Solar power generating assets and wind power generating assets have
useful lives of 35 years and 30, respectively.

For the Utilities, non-utility plant consists of land and conduit for telecommunication use. Depreciation on non-utility
plant, other than land, is computed using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes over their
estimated useful lives, which is 10 years.

million and $20 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2022 for Con Edison and CECONY was $15 million and $14 million,
respectively, and for the year ended December 31, 2021 for Con Edison and CECONY was $12 million and $11 million, respectively.
Accumulated amortization related to these assets for Con Edison and CECONY was $58 million and $53 million, respectively at December 31,
2023 and was $37 million and $33 million, respectively at December 31, 2022.

Long–Lived and Intangible Assets
The Companies test long-lived and intangible assets for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of long-lived or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a
long-lived asset or intangible asset with a definite life is deemed not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. In the event a test
indicates that such cash flows cannot be expected to be sufficient to fully recover the assets, the assets are
considered impaired and written down to their estimated fair value.

Prior to the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses on March 1, 2023, Con Edison's intangible assets with definite
lives consisted primarily of power purchase agreements. See Note W and Note X. Con Edison's intangible assets
were immaterial at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2022, intangible assets arising from power purchase
agreements were $1,219 million, net of accumulated amortization of $359 million, and were being amortized over
the life of each agreement. Excluding power purchase agreements, Con Edison’s other intangible assets were $2
million, net of accumulated amortization of $9 million at December 31, 2022. CECONY’s other intangible assets
were immaterial at December 31, 2023 and 2022. Con Edison recorded amortization expense related to its
intangible assets of $71 million in 2022 and $95 million in 2021. Con Edison expects amortization expense to be
immaterial over each of the next five years. No impairment charges were recorded on Con Edison's long-lived
assets or intangible assets with definite lives in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Recoverable Energy Costs
The Utilities generally recover all of their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging
gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utility regulators. If the
actual energy supply costs for a given month are more or less than the amounts billed to customers for that month,
the difference in most cases is recoverable from or refundable to customers. Differences between actual and billed
electric and steam supply costs are generally deferred for charge or refund to customers during the next billing cycle
(normally within one or two months). For the Utilities’ gas costs, differences between actual and billed gas costs
during the 12-month period ending each August are charged or refunded to customers during a subsequent 12-
month period.

New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)
The Utilities purchase electricity through the wholesale electricity market administered by the NYISO. The difference
between purchased power and related costs initially billed to the Utilities by the NYISO and the actual cost of power
subsequently calculated by the NYISO is refunded by the NYISO to the Utilities, or paid to the NYISO by the
Utilities. The reconciliation payments or receipts are recoverable from or refundable to the Utilities’ customers.

Certain other payments to or receipts from the NYISO are also subject to reconciliation, with shortfalls or amounts in
excess of specified rate allowances recoverable from or refundable to customers. These include proceeds from the
sale through the NYISO of transmission rights on CECONY’s transmission system (transmission congestion
contracts or TCCs).

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

107

Temporary Cash Investments
Temporary cash investments are short-term, highly-liquid investments that generally have maturities of three months
or less at the date of purchase. They are stated at cost, which approximates market. The Companies consider
temporary cash investments to be cash equivalents.

Investments
Accounting for Investments
Con Edison’s investments consist primarily of the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for
under the equity method and the fair value of the Utilities’ supplemental retirement income plan and deferred income
plan assets.

The accounting rules require Con Edison to evaluate its investments periodically to determine whether they are
impaired. The standard for determining whether an impairment exists and must be recorded is whether an other-
than-temporary decline in carrying value has occurred. Changes in economic conditions, forecasted cash flows and
the regulatory environment, among other factors, could require equity method investments to recognize a decrease
in carrying value for an other-than-temporary decline. When management believes such a decline may have
occurred, the fair value of the investment is estimated using market inputs, when observable, or a valuation model
such as a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value is compared to the carrying value of the investment in order
to determine the amount of impairment to record, if any.

The evaluation and measurement of impairments involve uncertainties. The judgments that Con Edison makes to
estimate the fair value of its equity method investments are based on assumptions that management believes are
reasonable, and variations in these estimates or the underlying assumptions, or the receipt of additional market
information, could have a material impact on whether a triggering event is determined to exist or the amount of any
such impairment. Additionally, if the projects in which Con Edison holds these investments recognize an impairment,
Con Edison may record a share of that impairment loss and would evaluate its investment for an other-than-
temporary decline in carrying value as described above.

2021 Partial Impairment of Investment in Stagecoach Gas Services LLC (Stagecoach)
In May 2021, a subsidiary of Con Edison Transmission entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to
which the subsidiary and its joint venture partner agreed to sell their combined interests in Stagecoach for a total of
$1,225 million, of which $629 million was attributed to Con Edison Transmission for its 50 percent interest.

As a result of information made available to Stagecoach as part of the sale process, Stagecoach performed
impairment tests that resulted in Stagecoach recording impairment charges of $414 million for the year ended
December 31, 2021. Accordingly, Con Edison recorded pre-tax impairment losses on its 50 percent interest in
Stagecoach of $212 million ($147 million after-tax), including working capital and transaction cost adjustments,
within "Investment income/(loss)" on Con Edison's consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31,
2021.

Stagecoach’s impairment charges and information obtained from the sales process constituted triggering events for
Con Edison's investment in Stagecoach during 2021. Con Edison evaluated the carrying value of its investment in
Stagecoach for other-than-temporary declines in value using income and market-based approaches. Con Edison
determined that the carrying value of its investment in Stagecoach of $667 million and $630 million as of March 31,
2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, was not impaired, and that the carrying value at June 30, 2021 reflected the
final sales price received, including closing adjustments. Con Edison Transmission had no remaining investment in
Stagecoach as of December 31, 2021.

Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP)
In January 2016, a subsidiary of Con Edison Transmission, acquired a 12.5 percent interest in MVP, a company
developing a proposed 300-mile gas transmission project (the Mountain Valley Pipeline) in West Virginia and
Virginia. During 2019, Con Edison exercised its right to limit, and did limit, its cash contributions to the joint venture
to approximately $530 million, that reduced Con Edison Transmission's interest in MVP to 11.3 percent, 10.2
percent, and 9.6 percent as of December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 Con
Edison Transmission's interest in MVP is 7.9 percent and is expected to be reduced to approximately 7.0 percent
based on Con Edison Transmission's previous capping of its cash contributions. As of December 31, 2023, the
Mountain Valley Pipeline was approximately 97 percent complete.

108

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

During 2020, the uncertainty related to obtaining necessary water crossing permits, the resulting costs and the
likelihood of the Mountain Valley Pipeline not reaching eventual completion increased as a result of actions taken by
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. This action and associated delays constituted a triggering event
(the "2020 triggering event") that required Con Edison to test its investment in MVP for an other-than-temporary
impairment as of December 31, 2020.

In December 2021, the VA Department of Environmental Quality and the WV Department of Environmental
Protection both issued water quality certification permits which are required in order for the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to proceed with the permitting process for construction of certain Project water crossings. In January
2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit rejected permits for crossings through the Jefferson National
Forest issued by the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. In February 2022, the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit vacated a biological opinion from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, applicable to all
remaining construction. The biological opinion had been issued and was the subject of litigation prior to December
31, 2021. Con Edison believed that the February 2022 action by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit,
along with the potential outcome of other matters pending before that Court, may lead to further delays and
increased project costs, which constituted a triggering event (the “2021 triggering event”) that required Con Edison
to test its investment in MVP for an other-than-temporary impairment as of December 31, 2021.

In response to the 2020 triggering event and 2021 triggering event, Con Edison assessed the value of its equity
investment in the Mountain Valley Pipeline to determine whether the fair value of its investment in MVP had declined
below its carrying value on an other-than-temporary basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The
estimated fair value of the investment was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, which is a level 3 fair
value measurement. The analysis discounted probability-weighted future cash flows, including revenues based on
long-term firm transportation contracts, that are secured for the first 20 years following completion of the Mountain
Valley Pipeline. See Note U. Con Edison had also assumed cash flows extending beyond this period. All cash flows
were discounted at a pre-tax discount rate of 8.3 percent and then weighted based on Con Edison’s estimate of the
likelihood that the Mountain Valley Pipeline will be completed. For the 2020 triggering event, Con Edison estimated
that the likelihood of project completion was in the upper end of a reasonably possible range. For the 2021
triggering event, Con Edison anticipated that the Mountain Valley Pipeline faced legal and regulatory challenges that
could have made construction completion increasingly remote. The likelihood that the project will be completed and,
for 2020, the discount rate, were the most significant and sensitive assumptions; changes in these assumptions
may have materially changed the results of the impairment calculation.

Based on the discounted cash flow analyses, Con Edison concluded as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 that the
fair value of its investment in MVP declined below its carrying value and the declines were other-than-temporary.
Accordingly, Con Edison recorded a pre-tax impairment loss of $320 million ($223 million, after tax) for the year
ended December 31, 2020 that reduced the carrying value of its investment in MVP from $662 million to
$342 million, with an associated deferred tax asset of $53 million. Additionally, Con Edison recorded a pre-tax
impairment loss of $231 million ($162 million, after tax) for the year ended December 31, 2021 that reduced the
carrying value of its investment in MVP from $342 million to $111 million, with an additional $77 million associated
deferred tax asset, totaling a deferred tax asset of $130 million at December 31, 2021 and 2022. The impairments
were recorded within “Investment income (loss)” on Con Edison’s Consolidated Income Statement. In addition, Con
Edison did not record equity in earnings from allowance for funds used during construction from MVP beginning in
January 2021 and refrained from recording such amounts during 2021, 2022 and a portion of 2023 until substantial
construction activities resumed. Con Edison recorded equity in earnings from AFUDC from MVP of $33 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023 and expects to continue to recognize its proportionate share of equity in
earnings from AFUDC until the project is placed in service, subject to the progression of construction activities.
There were no impairments to the carrying value of Con Edison's investment in MVP for the years ended December
31, 2022 and 2023.

In June 2023, federal legislation to raise the U.S. debt ceiling included provisions declaring the Mountain Valley
Pipeline to be in the national interest, expediting the permitting process and moving jurisdiction of challenges of
permits to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. These actions enabled
construction activities to resume in June 2023 and continue without substantial interruption for the duration of 2023.

There is risk that the fair value of Con Edison’s investment in MVP may be further impaired in the future.
Assumptions and estimates used to test Con Edison’s investment in MVP for impairment may change if adverse
developments impacting the construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline were to occur.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
The accounting rules for retirement benefits require an employer to recognize an asset or liability for the overfunded
or underfunded status of its pension and other postretirement benefit plans. For a pension plan, the asset or liability
is the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation. For any other
postretirement benefit plan, the asset or liability is the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. The accounting rules generally require employers to recognize all
unrecognized prior service costs and credits and unrecognized actuarial gains and losses in accumulated other
comprehensive income/(loss) (OCI), net of tax. Such amounts will be adjusted as they are subsequently recognized
as components of total periodic benefit cost or income pursuant to the current recognition and amortization
provisions.

For the Utilities’ pension and other postretirement benefit plans, regulatory accounting treatment is generally applied
in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. Unrecognized prior service costs or credits and
unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are recorded to regulatory assets or liabilities, rather than OCI. See Notes
E and F.

The total periodic benefit costs are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for retirement benefits.
Investment gains and losses are recognized in expense over a 15-year period and other actuarial gains and losses
are recognized in expense over a 10-year period, subject to the deferral provisions in the rate plans.

In accordance with the Statement of Policy issued by the NYSPSC and its current electric, gas and steam rate
plans, CECONY defers for payment to or recovery from customers the difference between such expenses and the
amounts for such expenses reflected in rates. O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its NY rate plans. See
Note B.

The Companies calculate the expected return on pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets by
multiplying the expected rate of return on plan assets by the market-related value (MRV) of plan assets at the
beginning of the year, taking into consideration anticipated contributions and benefit payments that are to be made
during the year. The accounting rules allow the MRV of plan assets to be either fair value or a calculated value that
recognizes changes in fair value in a systematic and rational manner over not more than five years. The Companies
use a calculated value when determining the MRV of the plan assets that adjusts for 20 percent of the difference
between fair value and expected MRV of plan assets. This calculated value has the effect of stabilizing variability in
assets to which the Companies apply the expected return.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Federal Income Tax
In accordance with accounting rules for income taxes, the Companies have recorded an accumulated deferred
federal income tax liability at current tax rates for temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets
and liabilities. In accordance with rate plans, the Utilities have recovered amounts from customers for a portion of
the tax liability they will pay in the future as a result of the reversal or “turn-around” of these temporary differences.
As to the remaining deferred tax liability, the Utilities had established regulatory assets for the net revenue
requirements to be recovered from customers for the related future tax expense pursuant to the NYSPSC's 1993
Policy Statement approving accounting procedures consistent with accounting rules for income taxes and providing
assurances that these future increases in taxes will be recoverable in rates.

Accumulated deferred investment tax credits are amortized ratably over the lives of the related properties and
applied as a reduction to future federal income tax expense.

Con Edison and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. The consolidated income tax liability is
allocated to each member of the consolidated group using the separate return method. Each member pays or
receives an amount based on its own taxable income or loss in accordance with a consolidated tax allocation
agreement. Tax loss and tax credit carryforwards are allocated among members in accordance with consolidated
tax return regulations.

State Income Tax
Con Edison and its subsidiaries file a combined New York State Corporation Business Franchise Tax Return. Similar
to a federal consolidated income tax return, the income of all entities in the combined group is subject to New York
State taxation, after adjustments for differences between federal and New York law and apportionment of income
among the states in which the company does business. Each member’s share of the New York State tax is based
on its own New York State taxable income or loss.

Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

Earnings Per Common Share
Con Edison presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of its consolidated income statement.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders (“Net income for common stock” on
Con Edison’s consolidated income statement) by the weighted average number of Con Edison common shares
outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted EPS, weighted average shares outstanding are increased
for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock.

Potentially dilutive securities for Con Edison consist of restricted stock units and deferred stock units for which the
average market price of the common shares for the period was greater than the exercise price (see Note O).

Basic and diluted EPS for Con Edison are calculated as follows:

(Millions of Dollars, except per share amounts/Shares in Millions)

Net income for common stock

Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic

Add: Incremental shares attributable to effect of potentially dilutive securities

Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted

Net Income per common share – basic

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(a) Con Edison restricted cash included cash of the Clean Energy Businesses' renewable electric project subsidiaries ($6 million and

$223 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively) that, under the related project debt agreements, was restricted to being used for
normal operating expenditures, debt service, and required reserves until the various maturity dates of the project debt. On March 1, 2023,
Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W. Con Edison retained one deferred project,
Broken Bow II, a 75 MW nameplate capacity wind power project located in Nebraska. Con Edison's restricted cash for the 2023 period
includes restricted cash of Broken Bow II that continued to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023. See Note X.

Use of Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value
For certain investments of the Clean Energy Businesses and of Con Edison, Con Edison has determined that the
use of HLBV accounting is reasonable and appropriate to attribute income and loss to the tax equity investors.
Using the HLBV method, the company's earnings from the projects are adjusted to reflect the income or loss
allocable to the tax equity investors calculated based on how the project would allocate and distribute its cash if it
were to sell all of its assets for their carrying amounts and liquidate at a particular point in time. Under the HLBV
method, the company calculates the liquidation value allocable to the tax equity investors at the beginning and end
of each period based on the contractual liquidation waterfall and adjusts its income for the period to reflect the

112

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

change in the liquidation value allocable to the tax equity investors based on the terms of the partnerships' operating
agreements. See Note S. The Clean Energy Businesses were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2022.
On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See "Assets
Held for Sale," below, Note W and Note X.

Assets Held for Sale
Generally, a long-lived asset or business to be sold is classified as held for sale in the period in which management,
with approval from the Board of Directors, commits to a plan to sell, and a sale is expected to be completed within
one year. During the first nine months of 2022, Con Edison considered strategic alternatives with respect to the
Clean Energy Businesses. On October 1, 2022, Con Edison's management received authority to commit to a plan to
sell the Clean Energy Businesses and entered into a purchase and sale agreement.

Con Edison records assets and liabilities, once held for sale, at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated
fair value less cost to sell, and also stops recording depreciation and amortization on assets held for sale. The
"Noncontrolling interest" on Con Edison's consolidated balance sheet reflected the noncontrolling interest in projects
of the Clean Energy Businesses, that was held for sale as of December 31, 2022. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison
completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses with the exception of two tax equity interests
and one deferred project, Broken Bow II. Broken Bow II continued to be classified as held for sale as of December
31, 2023.

Fair value is the amount at which an asset, liability or business could be bought or sold in a current transaction
between willing parties and may be estimated using a number of techniques, or may be observable using quoted
market prices. Con Edison used a market approach consisting of the contractual sales price adjusted for estimated
working capital and other contractual purchase price adjustments to determine the fair value of the Clean Energy
Businesses as of December 31, 2022, and subtracted estimated costs to sell from that calculated fair value. The
resulting net fair value of the Clean Energy Businesses' assets exceeded the carrying value of the Clean Energy
Businesses' assets through the date of sale in March 2023, and accordingly no impairments were recorded.

The sale of the Clean Energy Businesses did not represent a strategic shift that had or would have had a major
effect on Con Edison, and as such, the sale did not qualify for treatment as a discontinued operation.

For further information, see Note W and Note X.

Note B – Regulatory Matters
Rate Plans

The Utilities provide service to New York customers according to the terms of tariffs approved by the NYSPSC.
Tariffs for service to customers of Rockland Electric Company (RECO), O&R’s New Jersey regulated utility
subsidiary, are approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU). The tariffs include schedules of rates
for service that limit the rates charged by the Utilities to amounts that the Utilities recover from their customers costs
approved by the regulator, including capital costs, of providing service to customers as defined by the tariff. The
tariffs implement rate plans adopted by state utility regulators in rate orders issued at the conclusion of rate
proceedings. Pursuant to the Utilities’ rate plans, there generally can be no change to the charges to customers
during the respective terms of the rate plans other than specified adjustments provided for in the rate plans. The
Utilities’ rate plans each cover specified periods, but rates determined pursuant to a plan generally continue in effect
until a new rate plan is approved by the state utility regulator.

Common provisions of the Utilities’ New York rate plans include:

Earnings sharing that require the Utilities to defer for customer benefit a portion of earnings over specified rates of
return on common equity. There is no symmetric mechanism for earnings below specified rates of return on
common equity.

Negative revenue adjustments for failure to meet certain performance standards relating to service, reliability, safety
and other matters

Net utility plant reconciliations that require deferral as a regulatory liability of the revenue requirement impact of the
amount, if any, by which actual average net utility plant balances are less than amounts reflected in rates. There is

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

113

generally no symmetric mechanism if actual average net utility plant balances are more than amounts reflected in
rates.

Other revenue adjustments represent positive revenue adjustments, positive incentives, and earnings adjustments
mechanisms for achievement of performance standards related to achievement of clean energy goals, safety and
other matters.

Rate base, as reflected in the rate plans, is, in general, the sum of the Utilities’ net plant, working capital and certain
regulatory assets less deferred taxes and certain regulatory liabilities. For each rate plan, the NYSPSC uses a
forecast of the average rate base for each year that new rates would be in effect (“rate year”).

Recoverable energy costs that allow the Utilities to recover on a current basis the costs for the energy they supply
with no mark-up to their full-service customers.

Regulatory reconciliations that reconcile pension and other postretirement benefit costs, environmental remediation
costs, property taxes, variable-rate tax-exempt debt and certain other costs to amounts reflected in delivery rates for
such costs. In addition, changes in the Utilities' costs not reflected in rates, in excess of certain amounts, resulting
from changes in tax or changes in legislation, regulation or related actions, are deferred as a regulatory asset or
regulatory liability to be reflected in the Utilities' next rate plan or in a manner to be determined by the NYSPSC.
Also, the Utilities generally retain the right to petition for recovery or accounting deferral of extraordinary and
material cost increases and provision is sometimes made for the utility to retain a share of cost reductions, for
example, property tax refunds.

Revenue decoupling mechanisms that reconcile actual energy delivery revenues to the authorized delivery
revenues approved by the NYSPSC. The difference is accrued with interest for refund to, or recovery from
customers, as applicable.

Weighted average cost of capital is determined based on the authorized common equity ratio, return on common
equity, cost of long-term debt and cost of customer deposits reflected in each rate plan. For each rate plan, the
revenues designed to provide the utility a return on invested capital for each rate year are determined by multiplying
each utility rate base by its pre–tax weighted average cost of capital. The Utilities’ actual return on common equity
will reflect their actual operations for each rate year, and may be more or less than the authorized return on equity
reflected in their rate plans (and if more, may be subject to earnings sharing).

Base rates reflect recovery by the company of certain costs of its energy efficiency, demonstration projects, non-wire alternative projects
(including the Brooklyn Queens demand management program), and off-peak electric vehicle charging programs (Yr. 1 - $206 million; Yr. 2
- $245 million; and Yr. 3 - $251 million) over a 10-year period, including the overall pre-tax rate of return on such costs.
Amounts reflect amortization of the 2018 tax savings under the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) allocable to CECONY’s
electric customers ($377 million) over a three-year period ($126 million annually), the protected portion of the regulatory liability for excess
deferred income taxes allocable to CECONY’s electric customers ($1,663 million) over the remaining lives of the related assets
($49 million in Yr. 1, $50 million in Yr. 2, and $53 million in Yr. 3) and the unprotected portion of the net regulatory liability ($784 million)
over five years ($157 million annually). Amounts also reflect amortization of the regulatory asset for deferred MTA power reliability costs
($238 million) over a five-year period ($48 million annually).
The electric base rate increases shown above will be implemented with increases of $457 million in Yr. 1; $457 million in Yr. 2; and
$457 million in Yr. 3 in order to levelize the customer bill impact. New rates were effective as of January 1, 2023 and CECONY began
billing customers at the new levelized rate in August 2023. The shortfall in revenues due to the timing of billing to customers ($216 million)
are being collected through a surcharge billed through 2024, including a carrying charge on the outstanding balance. Base rates reflect
recovery by the company of certain costs of its energy efficiency, demonstration projects, non-wire alternative projects (including the
Brooklyn Queens demand management program), and off-peak electric vehicle charging programs (Yr. 1 - $244 million; Yr. 2 -
$237 million; and Yr. 3 - $281 million) over periods varying between seven and fifteen years, including the overall pre-tax rate of return on
such costs.
Deferrals for property taxes are limited to 90 percent of the difference from amounts reflected in rates, subject to an annual maximum for
the remaining difference of not more than a maximum number of basis points impact on return on common equity of 10.0 basis points, 7.5
basis points and 5.0 basis points for each of Yr. 1, Yr. 2 and Yr. 3, respectively, of the 2020 – 2022 rate plan and 10.0 basis points, 5.0
basis points and 5.0 basis points for each of Yr. 1, Yr. 2 and Yr. 3, respectively, of the 2023 – 2025 rate plan.
In general, if actual expenses for municipal infrastructure support (other than company labor) are below the amounts reflected in rates the
company will defer the difference for credit to customers, and if the actual expenses are above the amount reflected in rates the company
will defer for recovery from customers 80 percent of the difference subject to a maximum deferral, subject to certain conditions, of 15
percent of the amount reflected in the rate plans.
In addition, the NYSPSC continues its focused operations audit to investigate CECONY's income tax accounting. Any NYSPSC ordered
adjustment to CECONY’s income tax accounting is expected to be refunded to or collected from customers, as determined by the
NYSPSC. See "Other Regulatory Matters," below.
Reconciliation of net utility plant for AMI will be done on a combined basis for electric and gas.
Calculated in accordance with the earnings calculation method prescribed in the rate order.
In November 2021, the NYSPSC issued an order that allowed CECONY to recover $43 million of late payment charges and fees that were
not billed for the year ended December 31, 2020. The recalculated return on equity for 2020 which reflects the recovery of these fees is
8.81 percent.
Amounts reflect amortization of the TCJA allocable to CECONY’s electric customers ($256 million) over a two-year period ($128 million in
Yr. 1 and Yr. 2), the protected portion of the regulatory liability for excess deferred income taxes allocable to CECONY’s electric customers
($1,512 million) over the remaining lives of the related assets ($34 million in Yr. 1, $63 million in Yr. 2, and $34 million in Yr. 3) and the
unprotected portion of the net regulatory liability ($306 million) over two years ($153 million annually). Amounts also reflect amortization of
the regulatory asset for deferred MTA power reliability costs ($93 million) over a three-year period ($31 million annually).

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

In April 2023, the NYSPSC approved CECONY’s December 2022 petition seeking cost recovery approval for a
proposed clean energy hub in Brooklyn, New York (Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub) at an estimated cost of
$810 million, and an estimated in-service date of December 2027, that is in addition to the capital expenditures
approved in the CECONY 2023 - 2025 electric rate plan summarized above. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub
primarily addresses an identified reliability need in 2028 due to a forecasted increase in electric demand. The
Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub provides the flexibility for offshore wind resources to interconnect to it during
construction and after it commences operation. Construction began in September 2023 and is expected to be
completed by 2028. The carrying costs of the Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub will be recovered from customers via a
surcharge mechanism after it is placed into service and until such costs are reflected in base rates.

In January 2024, the NYSPSC approved CECONY's August 2023 petition requesting authorization and cost
recovery to construct two new substations in Jamaica, Queens (the Reliable Clean City - Idlewild Project) that is in
addition to the capital expenditures approved in CECONY's 2023 - 2025 electric rate plan summarized above. The
project is expected to be completed by May 2028 to meet anticipated reliability needs and to support New York
State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals. CECONY estimates that construction will cost
$1,200 million. The carrying costs of the Reliable Clean City – Idlewild Project will be recovered from customers via
a surcharge mechanism after it is placed into service and until such costs are reflected in base rates.

In 2014, the company had no earnings above the
threshold. Actual earnings were $11.5 million and
$7.8 million above the threshold in 2015 and
2016, respectively. In 2017, actual earnings were
$8.5 million above the threshold, offset in part by
a positive adjustment related to 2016 of $4
million. In 2018, actual earnings were $16.5
million above the threshold, and an additional
$1.1 million related to 2017 was recorded. In
2019 actual earnings were $5 million above the

The base rate increases will be implemented with increases of $77.8 million in Yr. 1; $77.8 million in Yr. 2; and $77.8 million in Yr. 3 to
levelize the customer bill impact. New rates were effective as of November 1, 2023. CECONY began billing customers at the new
levelized rate in December 2023.
Amounts reflect amortization of the tax savings under the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) for the unprotected portion of
the regulatory liability for excess deferred income taxes allocable to CECONY’s steam customers (the entire $24 million in Yr.1), the
protected portion of the regulatory liability for excess deferred income taxes allocable to CECONY’s steam customers over the
remaining lives of the related assets ($3 million in Yr. 1; $5 million in Yr. 2; and $6 million in Yr. 3) and the non-plant portion of the
regulatory asset for deficient deferred income taxes allocable to CECONY’s steam customers (the entire $11 million in Yr.1).
CECONY will defer the difference between its actual write-offs of uncollectible expenses and late payment fees (from January 1, 2020
through October 31, 2026) to amounts reflected in rates, with recovery/refund from or to customers via surcharge/sur-credit.
Surcharge recoveries for write-offs of uncollectible expenses and late payment fees will each be subject to an annual cap that
produces no more than a half percent (0.5 percent) total customer bill impact (estimated to be $2.5 million, $3.0 million, $3.5 million for
Yr. 1, Yr. 2 and Yr. 3, respectively). Amounts in excess of the annual surcharge cap in a specific year may be rolled forward for
recovery and will count towards the following year’s surcharge cap. Amounts in excess of the surcharge cap will be deferred as a
regulatory asset for recovery in CECONY’s next steam base rate case.
Deferrals for property taxes are limited to 90 percent of the difference from amounts reflected in rates, subject to an annual maximum
for the remaining difference of not more than a maximum number of basis points impact on return on common equity (Yr. 1 – 10.0
basis points; Yr. 2 – 7.5 basis points; and Yr. 3 – 5.0 basis points), with recovery/refund from or to customers via surcharge/sur-credit.
Surcharge recoveries will be subject to an annual cap that produces no more than a half percent (0.5 percent) total customer bill
impact (estimated to be $2.5 million, $3.0 million, $3.5 million for Yr. 1, Yr. 2 and Yr. 3, respectively). Amounts in excess of the annual
surcharge cap in a specific year may be rolled forward for recovery and will count towards the following year’s surcharge cap.
Amounts in excess of the surcharge cap will be deferred as a regulatory asset for recovery in CECONY’s next steam base rate case.
In general, if actual expenses for municipal infrastructure support (other than company labor) are below the amounts reflected in rates,
CECONY will defer the difference for credit to customers, and if the actual expenses are above the amount reflected in rates, CECONY
will defer for recovery from customers 80 percent of the difference subject to a maximum deferral, subject to certain conditions, of 30
percent of the amount reflected in the rate plan.
In addition, the NYSPSC continues its focused operations audit to investigate CECONY's income tax accounting. Any NYSPSC
ordered adjustment to CECONY’s income tax accounting is expected to be refunded to or collected from customers, as determined by
the NYSPSC. See "Other Regulatory Matters," below.
Rates determined pursuant to this rate plan continued to be in effect until October 31, 2023. 2023 or Yr. 10 represents a partial year
commencing January 1, 2023 through October 31, 2023.
The impact of these base rate changes was deferred which resulted in an $8 million regulatory liability at December 31, 2016.

term of the rate plan subject to the caps set forth in the January 2020 NYSPSC New Efficiency New York (“NENY”) order. If the NYSPSC
modifies O&R's NENY budgets during the rate term, such modifications will be reflected at the time of the cumulative reconciliations.
(k) The rate plan includes certain COVID-19 provisions, such as: recovery of 2020 late payment charges over three years ($2.2 million);

reconciliation of late payment charges to amounts reflected in rates for years 2021 through 2024, with full recovery/refund via surcharge/sur-
credit once the annual variance equals or exceeds 5 basis points of return on equity; and reconciliation of write-offs of customer accounts
receivable balances to amounts reflected in rates from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2024, with full recovery/refund via surcharge/
sur-credit once the annual variance equals or exceeds 5 basis points of return on equity.

In January 2024, O&R filed a request with the NYSPSC for an increase in the rates it charges for electric service
rendered in New York, effective January 1, 2025, of $18.1 million. The filing reflects a return on common equity of
10.25 percent and a common equity ratio of 50 percent. The filing proposes continuation of the provisions with
respect to recovery from customers of the cost of purchased power, and the reconciliation of actual expenses
allocable to the electric business to the amounts for such costs reflected in electric rates for storm costs,
uncollectible expense, pension and other postretirement benefit costs, environmental remediation and property
taxes and recovery from customers for proposed climate change resilience investments.

Effective July 2021, the NJBPU authorized a conservation incentive program for RECO, that covers all residential
and most commercial customers, under which RECO’s actual electric distribution revenues are compared with the
authorized distribution revenues and the difference accrued, with interest, for refund to, or recovery from,
customers, as applicable. The conservation incentive program is not permitted if RECO’s actual return on equity
exceeds the approved base rate filing return on equity by 50 basis points or more.

In December 2022, the NJBPU authorized a $47.8 million Infrastructure Investment Program (IIP) over a five-year
period (2023 – 2027). RECO’s IIP provides accelerated infrastructure investments to enhance safety, reliability, and
resiliency.

In October 2023, FERC approved a July 2023 settlement agreement among RECO, the New Jersey Division of
Rate Counsel and the NJBPU that resolves all issues set for hearing and increases RECO's annual transmission
revenue requirement from $16.9 million to $18.2 million, effective August 30, 2022 through December 31, 2023 and
to $20.7 million, effective January 1, 2024.

In December 2023, the NJBPU authorized RECO to defer costs of $4.8 million related to major storms that occurred
during 2022 and 2023 until RECO’s next base rate case.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
In January 2024, CECONY initiated an application for $100 million of federal grants for grid resilience, O&R and
RECO jointly initiated an application for $100 million of federal grants for grid resilience, and CECONY, O&R and
RECO initiated a joint application for $60 million of federal grants for smart grids under the Infrastructure Investment
and Jobs Act (IIJA). Federal grants obtained pursuant to the IIJA are expected to be used to reduce customers’
costs for investments in CECONY’s, O&R’s, and RECO’s electric systems.

COVID - 19 Regulatory Matters

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, New York State enacted laws prohibiting New York utilities, including CECONY
and O&R, from disconnecting residential customers and small business customers. The Utilities largely suspended
service disconnections, certain collection notices, final bill collection agency activity, new late payment charges and
certain other fees from March 2020 through December 2021.

In November 2021, the NYSPSC issued an order establishing a surcharge recovery mechanism for CECONY to
collect late payment charges and fees that were not billed for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021.
CECONY recorded $62 million and $11 million for electric and gas, respectively, as revenue for the year ended

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

127

December 31, 2021, as permitted under the accounting rules for regulated utilities. Pursuant to its electric and gas
rate plans, O&R recorded late payment charges and fees that were not billed for the years ended December 31,
2020 and December 31, 2021 of $1.7 million and $2 million, respectively, as revenue for the year ended December
31, 2021, as permitted under accounting rules for regulated utilities.

In June 2020, the NYSPSC directed CECONY to implement a summer cooling credit program to help mitigate the
cost of staying home and operating air conditioning for health-vulnerable low-income customers due to the limited
availability of public cooling facilities as a result of the COVID-19 social distancing measures. The $63.4 million cost
of the program is being recovered over a five-year period that began January 2021.

In 2021, 2022, and 2023, New York implemented various programs providing arrears assistance to utility customers.
One program is administered by the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) in coordination with
the NYSDPS (the OTDA Program). Under the OTDA Program, CECONY and O&R qualify for a refundable tax credit
for New York gross-receipts tax equal to the amount of arrears waived by the Utilities in the year that the arrears are
certified by the NYSPSC. In addition, the NYSPSC authorized Phase 1 and Phase 2 COVID-19 arrears assistance
programs whereby the Utilities were provided with customer credits towards reducing accounts receivable balances
(the Phase 1 Order and Phase 2 Order, respectively). A portion of the Phase 1 Order credits were funded by New
York State and the remaining Phase 1 Order credit amounts and all Phase 2 Order credit amounts will be recovered
by the Utilities via surcharge mechanisms.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, CECONY and O&R issued total credits of $359.9 million and $6.1 million,
respectively, towards reducing customers’ accounts receivable balances. For the year ended December 31, 2022,
the total credits for CECONY were comprised of: $164.5 million pursuant to the New York State funding;
$108.4 million pursuant to the Phase 1 Order, that will be recovered via a surcharge mechanism over a four-year
period that began September 2022; a $7 million reserve for CECONY; and $80 million in qualified tax credits and
payments pursuant to the OTDA Program described above. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the total
credits for O&R were comprised of: $1.6 million pursuant to the New York State funding; $3.2 million pursuant to the
Phase 1 order, that was recovered via a surcharge mechanism over a one-year period that began September 2022;
and $1.3 million in qualified tax credits and payments pursuant to the OTDA Program described above.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, CECONY and O&R issued total net credits of $352.3 million and
$2.9 million, respectively, towards reducing customers’ accounts receivable balances. For the year ended
December 31, 2023, the total credits for CECONY were comprised of: $13.2 million pursuant to the Phase 1 Order;
$327.6 million pursuant to the Phase 2 Order that will be recovered via a surcharge mechanism over a ten-year
period that began June 2023; and $11.5 million in qualified tax credits and payments pursuant to the OTDA Program
described above. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the total credits for O&R were comprised of: $0.1 million
pursuant to the Phase 1 Order; $2.1 million pursuant to the Phase 2 Order that will be recovered via a surcharge
mechanism over a one-year period that began April 2023; and $0.7 million in qualified tax credits and payments
pursuant to the OTDA Program described above.

Other Regulatory Matters

In October 2023, CECONY and O&R replaced their separate existing customer billing and information systems with
a single new customer billing and information system. In April 2023, CECONY filed a petition with the NYSPSC for
permission to capitalize incremental costs for the new system above a $421 million limit on capital investments
included in CECONY’s 2020 – 2022 electric and gas rate plans. At December 31, 2023, CECONY's incurred costs
for the new system were approximately $496 million ($75 million above the $421 million limit in the rate plans), all of
which have been capitalized. CECONY cannot predict the NYSPSC’s response to its April 2023 petition and the
NYSPSC may prohibit CECONY from capitalizing some or all of the costs above the $421 million limit. O&R's 2022 -
2024 electric and gas rate plans do not include a limit on capitalization of new system costs.

In January 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order initiating a focused operations audit of the Utilities’ financial
accounting for income taxes. The audit is investigating the Utilities’ inadvertent understatement of a portion, the
amount of which may be material, of their calculation of total federal income tax expense for ratemaking purposes.
The understatement was related to the calculation of plant retirement-related cost of removal. As a result of such
understatement, the Utilities accumulated significant income tax regulatory assets that were not reflected in O&R’s
rate plans prior to 2014, CECONY’s electric and gas rate plans prior to 2015 and 2016, respectively, CECONY's
steam plans prior to November 2023. This understatement of historical income tax expense materially reduced the
amount of revenue collected from the Utilities' customers in the past. As part of the audit, the Utilities plan to pursue
a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that is expected to confirm, among other things, that
in order to comply with IRS normalization rules, such understatement may not be corrected through a write-down of

128

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

a portion of the regulatory asset and must be corrected through an increase in future years’ revenue requirements.
The regulatory asset ($1,113 million and $18 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, as of December 31, 2023
and $1,150 million and $22 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, as of December 31, 2022 and which is not
earning a return) is netted against the future income tax regulatory liability on the Companies’ consolidated balance
sheet. The Utilities are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss, if any, related to this matter. At
December 31, 2023, the Utilities had not accrued a liability related to this matter.

under CECONY and O&R's electric and gas rate plans for the reconciliation of write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances to
amounts reflected in rates and (4) deferral related to the arrears relief programs. Amounts deferred under the arrears relief programs were
$398.6 million and $2.1 million for CECONY and O&R at December 31, 2023, respectively, and $93.5 million and $2.6 million at December
31, 2022, respectively, and receive a return at the pre-tax weighted average cost of capital.

(c) Deferred storm costs represent response and restoration costs, other than capital investments, in connection with Tropical Storm Isaias and

other major storms that were deferred by the Utilities.

(d) Property tax reconciliation represents the amount deferred between actual property taxes incurred and the level included in rates subject to

the provisions of the respective rate plans.

(e) Supports the development of electric infrastructure and equipment necessary to accommodate an anticipated increase in the deployment of

electric vehicles within New York State.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

(f) MTA power reliability deferral represents CECONY’s costs in excess of those reflected in its prior electric rate plan to take certain actions

relating to the electrical equipment that serves the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway system. The company is recovering
this regulatory asset pursuant to its current electric rate plan. See footnote (d) to the CECONY - Electric table under “Rate Plans,” above.

(g) Unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs represent the net regulatory liability associated with the accounting rules for retirement

benefits. See "Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits" in Note A.

(h) Allowance for cost of removal less salvage represents cash previously collected from customers to fund future anticipated removal

expenditures.

(i) Settlement of prudence proceeding represents the remaining amount to be credited to customers pursuant to a Joint Proposal, approved by

the NYSPSC in April 2016, with respect to the prudence of certain CECONY expenditures and related matters.

The NYSPSC has authorized CECONY to accrue unbilled electric, gas and steam revenues. CECONY has deferred
the differences between unbilled revenues and energy costs for the future benefit of customers by recording a
regulatory liability of $278 million and $204 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In general, the Utilities receive or are being credited with a return at the Other Customer-Provided Capital rate for
regulatory assets that have not been included in rate base, and receive or are being credited with a return at the
pre-tax weighted average cost of capital once the asset is included in rate base. Similarly, the Utilities pay to or
credit customers with a return at the Other Customer-Provided Capital rate for regulatory liabilities that have not
been included in rate base, and pay to or credit customers with a return at the pre-tax weighted average cost of
capital once the liability is included in rate base. The Other Customer-Provided Capital rate for the years ended
December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 5.20 percent and 1.75 percent, respectively.

In general, the Utilities are receiving or being credited with a return on their regulatory assets for which a cash
outflow has been made ($2,541 million and $2,304 million for Con Edison, and $2,359 million and $2,097 million for
CECONY at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively). Regulatory assets of RECO for which a cash outflow has
been made ($24 million and $21 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively) are not receiving or being
credited with a return. RECO recovers regulatory assets over a period of up to four years or until they are
addressed in its next base rate case in accordance with the rate provisions approved by the NJBPU. Regulatory
liabilities are treated in a consistent manner.

Regulatory assets that represent future financial obligations and were deferred in accordance with the Utilities’ rate
plans or orders issued by state regulators do not earn a return until such time as a cash outlay has been made.
Regulatory liabilities are treated in a consistent manner. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, regulatory assets for Con
Edison and CECONY that did not earn a return consisted of the following items:

*This table presents regulatory assets not earning a return for which no cash outlay has been made.

The recovery periods for regulatory assets for which a cash outflow has not been made and that do not earn a
return have not yet been determined, except as noted below, and are expected to be determined pursuant to the
Utilities’ future rate plans to be filed or orders issued by the state regulators in connection therewith.

The Utilities recover unrecognized pension and other postretirement costs over 10 years, and the portion of
investment gains or losses recognized in expense over 15 years, pursuant to NYSPSC policy.

The deferral for revenue taxes represents the New York State metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge on
the cumulative temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities of the Utilities, as well
as the difference between taxes collected and paid by the Utilities to fund mass transportation. The Utilities recover

the majority of the revenue taxes over the remaining book lives of the electric and gas plant assets, as well as the
steam plant assets for CECONY.

The Utilities recover deferred derivative losses – current within one year, and noncurrent generally within three
years.

Note C – Capitalization
Common Stock
Con Edison is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of its common stock and CECONY is authorized to issue
340,000,000 of its common stock. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, 345,415,772 and 354,962,058 shares,
respectively, of Con Edison common stock were outstanding. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, 235,488,094 million
shares of CECONY common stock were outstanding, all of which were owned by Con Edison. At December 31,
2023 and 2022, Con Edison had 33,753,963 and 23,210,700 treasury shares, respectively, including 21,976,200
shares of Con Edison stock that CECONY purchased prior to 2001 in connection with Con Edison’s stock
repurchase plan. CECONY presents in the financial statements the cost of the Con Edison stock it owns as a
reduction of common shareholder’s equity.

In 2023, Con Edison entered into accelerated share repurchase agreements with two dealers to repurchase $1,000
million in aggregate of Con Edison’s Common Shares ($.10 par value) (Common Shares). Con Edison made
payments of $1,000 million in aggregate to the dealers and received deliveries of 10,543,263 Common Shares in
aggregate.

Capitalization of Con Edison
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, Con Edison's capitalization shown on its Consolidated Statement of Capitalization
includes its outstanding common stock and long-term debt and the outstanding long-term debt of the Utilities and for
the 2022 period includes the long-term debt of the Clean Energy Businesses.

Dividends
In accordance with NYSPSC requirements, the dividends that the Utilities generally pay are limited to not more than
100 percent of their respective income available for dividends calculated on a two–year rolling average basis. See
Note U. Excluded from the calculation of “income available for dividends” are non-cash charges to income resulting
from accounting changes or charges to income resulting from significant unanticipated events. The restriction also
does not apply to dividends paid in order to transfer to Con Edison proceeds from major transactions, such as asset
sales, or to dividends reducing each utility subsidiary’s equity ratio to a level appropriate to its business risk.

The fair values of the Companies' long-term debt have been estimated primarily using available market information
and at December 31, 2023 are classified as Level 2 liabilities (see Note R).

Significant Debt Covenants
The significant debt covenants under the financing arrangements for the Companies' debentures include obligations
to pay principal and interest when due and covenants not to consolidate with or merge into any other entity unless
certain conditions are met. The Companies' debentures have no cross default provisions. The tax–exempt financing
arrangements of CECONY are subject to covenants for the debentures discussed above and the covenants
discussed below. The Companies were in compliance with their significant debt covenants at December 31, 2023.

The tax-exempt financing arrangements involved the issuance of uncollateralized promissory notes of CECONY to
NYSERDA in exchange for the net proceeds of a like amount of tax–exempt bonds with substantially the same
terms sold to the public by NYSERDA. The tax-exempt financing arrangements include covenants with respect to
the tax–exempt status of the financing, including covenants with respect to the use of the facilities financed. The
arrangements include provisions for the maintenance of liquidity and credit facilities, the failure to comply with which
would, except as otherwise provided, constitute an event of default for the debt to which such provisions applied.
The failure to comply with debt covenants would, except as otherwise provided, constitute an event of default for the
debt to which such provisions applied. If an event of default were to occur, the principal and accrued interest on the
debt to which such event of default applied and, in the case of the Con Edison notes, a make-whole premium might
and, in the case of certain events of default would, become due and payable immediately.

The liquidity and credit facilities currently in effect for the tax–exempt financing include covenants that the ratio of
debt to total capital of CECONY will not at any time exceed 0.65 to 1 and that, subject to certain exceptions,
CECONY will not mortgage, lien, pledge or otherwise encumber its assets. Certain of the facilities also include as
events of default, defaults in payments of other debt obligations in excess of specified levels ($150 million or
$100 million, depending on the facility).

Note D – Short-Term Borrowing
In March 2023, Con Edison and the Utilities entered into a $2,500 million credit agreement (the Credit Agreement),
that replaced a December 2016 credit agreement (the 2016 Credit Agreement), under which banks are committed to
provide loans and letters of credit on a revolving credit basis. The Credit Agreement expires in March 2028, unless
extended for up to two additional one-year terms. There is a maximum of $2,500 million of credit available to
CECONY and $800 million (subject to increase up to $1,000 million) available to Con Edison, including up to
$900 million of letters of credit. The Credit Agreement supports the Companies’ commercial paper programs. Loans
and letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement may also be used for other general corporate purposes. Any
borrowings under the Credit Agreement would generally be at variable interest rates.

In March 2023, CECONY entered into a 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (the CECONY Credit Agreement) that
replaced a March 2022 CECONY 364-Day Credit Agreement (the 2022 CECONY Credit Agreement), under which
banks are committed to provide loans up to $500 million on a revolving credit basis. The CECONY Credit
Agreement expires in March 2024 and supports CECONY’s commercial paper program. Loans and letters of credit
issued under the CECONY Credit Agreement may also be used for other general corporate purposes. Any
borrowings under the CECONY Credit Agreement would generally be at variable interest rates.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

At December 31, 2023, Con Edison had $2,288 million of commercial paper outstanding, of which $1,903 million
was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2023 was 5.6
percent for both Con Edison and CECONY. At December 31, 2022, Con Edison had $2,640 million of commercial
paper outstanding of which $2,300 million was outstanding under CECONY’s program. The weighted average
interest rate at December 31, 2022 was 4.8 percent for both Con Edison and CECONY.

At December 31, 2023, no loans or letters of credit were outstanding under the Credit Agreement and no loans were
outstanding under the CECONY Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2022, no loans and an immaterial amount of
letters of credit were outstanding under the 2016 Credit Agreement and no loans were outstanding under the 2022
CECONY Credit Agreement.

The banks’ commitments under the Credit Agreement and the CECONY Credit Agreement are subject to certain
conditions, including that there be no event of default. The commitments are not subject to maintenance of credit
rating levels or the absence of a material adverse change. Upon a change of control of, or upon an event of default
by one of the Companies under the Credit Agreement or by CECONY under the CECONY Credit Agreement, the
banks may terminate their commitments with respect to that company, declare any amounts owed by that company
immediately due and payable and for the Credit Agreement, require that company to provide cash collateral relating
to the letters of credit issued for it under the Credit Agreement. Events of default for a company include that
company exceeding at any time of a ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated total capital of 0.65 to 1 (at
December 31, 2023 this ratio was 0.54 to 1 for Con Edison and 0.55 to 1 for CECONY); that company having liens
on its assets in an aggregate amount exceeding ten percent of its consolidated net tangible assets, subject to
certain exceptions; that company or any of its material subsidiaries failing to make one or more payments in respect
of material financial obligations (in excess of an aggregate $150 million of debt or derivative obligations other than
non-recourse debt) of that company; the occurrence of an event or condition which results in the acceleration of the
maturity of any material debt (in excess of an aggregate $150 million of debt other than non-recourse debt) of that
company or enables the holders of such debt to accelerate the maturity thereof; and other customary events of
default. Interest and fees charged for the revolving credit facilities and any loans made or letters of credit issued
under the Credit Agreement reflect the Companies’ respective credit ratings. The Companies were in compliance
with their significant debt covenants at December 31, 2023.

See Note U for information about short-term borrowing between related parties.

Note E – Pension Benefits
Con Edison maintains a tax-qualified, non-contributory pension plan, the Consolidated Edison Retirement Plan, that
covers substantially all employees of CECONY, O&R and Con Edison Transmission. The plan is designed to comply
with the Internal Revenue Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Con Edison also
maintains additional non–qualified supplemental pension plans.

Total Periodic Benefit Cost/(Credit)

Accounting rules require that components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost be presented outside
of operating income on consolidated income statements, and that only the service cost component is eligible for
capitalization. Accordingly, the service cost components are included in the line "Other operations and maintenance"
and the non-service cost components are included in the lines "Other income" or “Other deductions” in the
Companies' consolidated income statements. The rules also require disclosure of the weighted-average interest

The decrease in the pension funded status at December 31, 2023 for Con Edison and CECONY of $174 million and
$156 million, respectively, compared with December 31, 2022, was primarily due to an increase in the plan's
projected benefit obligation as a result of a decrease in the discount rate, partially offset by a return on plan assets
that was greater than the expected return. The increase in the pension funded status at December 31, 2022 for Con
Edison and CECONY of $1,719 million and $1,628 million, respectively, compared with December 31, 2021, was
primarily due to a decrease in the plan's projected benefit obligation as a result of an increase in the discount rate.
See below for further information on the change in the discount rate and determination of the discount rate
assumption. For Con Edison, the 2023 decrease in pension funded status asset corresponds with a decrease to
regulatory liabilities of $741 million for unrecognized net gains and unrecognized prior service credits associated
with the Utilities consistent with the accounting rules for regulated operations, a debit to OCI of $1 million (net of
taxes) for the unrecognized net gains, and an immaterial change to OCI (net of taxes) for the unrecognized prior
service credits associated with certain employees of Con Edison Transmission and RECO who previously worked
for the Utilities. For 2023, included within the funded status are noncurrent liabilities of $337 million and $313 million
for Con Edison and CECONY, respectively. For 2022, included within the funded status are noncurrent liabilities of
$311 million and $287 million for Con Edison and CECONY, respectively.

For CECONY, the decrease in pension funded status asset at December 31, 2023 corresponds with a decrease to
regulatory liabilities of $710 million for unrecognized net gains and unrecognized prior service credits consistent with
the accounting rules for regulated operations, and also a debit to OCI of $2 million (net of taxes) for unrecognized
net gains, and an immaterial change to OCI (net of taxes) for the unrecognized prior service costs associated with
certain employees of Con Edison Transmission who previously worked for CECONY.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, Con Edison’s investments included $524 million and $459 million, respectively,
held in external trust accounts for benefit payments pursuant to the supplemental retirement plans. Included in
these amounts for CECONY were $502 million and $439 million, respectively. See Note R. The accumulated benefit
obligations for the supplemental retirement plans for Con Edison and CECONY were $349 million and $323 million
as of December 31, 2023, respectively, and $306 million and $280 million as of December 31, 2022, respectively.

The expected return assumption reflects anticipated returns on the plan’s current and future assets. The
Companies’ expected return was based on an evaluation of the current environment, market and economic outlook,
relationships between the economy and asset class performance patterns, and recent and long-term trends in asset
class performance. The projections were based on the plan’s target asset allocation.

Discount Rate Assumption
To determine the assumed discount rate, the Companies use a model that produces a yield curve based on
discounting plan specific cash flows with corresponding spot rates on a yield curve. Term structures of interest rates
are based on AA rated corporate bonds. Bonds with questionable pricing information and bonds that are not
representative of the overall market are excluded from consideration. For example, the bonds used in the model
cannot be callable (with the exception of "make whole" callable bonds). The spot rates defined by the yield curve
and the plan’s projected benefit payments are used to develop a weighted average discount rate.

Expected Benefit Payments
Based on current assumptions, the Companies expect to make the following benefit payments over the next ten
years:

Expected Contributions
Based on estimates as of December 31, 2023, the Companies expect to make contributions to the pension plans
during 2024 of $11 million (of which $9 million is to be made by CECONY). The Companies’ policy is to fund the
total periodic benefit cost, if any, of the qualified plan to the extent tax deductible and to also contribute to the non-
qualified supplemental plans.

Con Edison has established a pension trust for the investment of assets to be used for the exclusive purpose of
providing retirement benefits to participants and beneficiaries and payment of plan expenses.

Pursuant to resolutions adopted by Con Edison’s Board of Directors, the Named Fiduciary Committee (the
Committee) has general oversight responsibility for Con Edison’s pension and other employee benefit plans. The
pension plan’s named fiduciaries have been granted the authority to control and manage the operation and
administration of the plans, including overall responsibility for the investment of assets in the trust and the power to
appoint and terminate investment managers.

The investment objectives of the Con Edison pension plan are to maintain a level and form of assets adequate to
meet benefit obligations to participants, to achieve the expected long-term total return on the trust assets within a
prudent level of risk and maintain a level of volatility that is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s
expected contribution and expense or the company’s ability to meet plan obligations. The assets of the plan have no
significant concentration of risk in one country (other than the United States), industry or entity.

The strategic asset allocation is intended to meet the objectives of the pension plan by diversifying its funds across
asset classes, investment styles and fund managers. An asset/liability study typically is conducted every few years
to determine whether the current strategic asset allocation continues to represent the appropriate balance of
expected risk and reward for the plan to meet expected liabilities. Each study considers the investment risk of the
asset allocation and determines the optimal asset allocation for the plan. The target asset allocation for 2024
reflects the results of such a study conducted in 2022.

Individual fund managers operate under written guidelines provided by Con Edison that cover such areas as
investment objectives, performance measurement, permissible investments, investment restrictions, trading and
execution, and communication and reporting requirements. Con Edison management regularly monitors and the
named fiduciaries review asset class performance, total fund performance, and compliance with asset allocation
guidelines. Management changes fund managers and rebalances the portfolio as appropriate.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as defined by the accounting rules for fair
value measurements (see Note R).

Private Equity is comprised of global private market investments. Private equity's investment objective is to generate returns on capital from
(i)
a diversified portfolio of primary fund investments, secondaries and co-investments. The plan's unfunded commitments to private equity
were approximately $193 million at December 31, 2023. However, the managers also expect to make significant cash flow distributions in
2024 and 2025. While the investments in this asset class cannot be redeemed, the plan would be able to receive distributions from selling
its limited partnership interests in the secondary market, which would be expected to take three to six months.

(j) Real Estate investments are open-end real estate funds that invest in a portfolio of real properties that are broadly diversified by geography
and property type. The real estate asset class is expected to produce returns from income and capital appreciation. Real estate also
provides a hedge against inflation. The funds allow for quarterly redemptions, however the amount and timing of distributions are subject to
market conditions and are currently uncertain.

(k) Hedge Funds are structured as a custom fund of one and can invest in external hedge fund managers that pursue a wide array of strategies

(l)

including event driven, fundamental long/short, relative value, directional trading, and direct sourcing. These investments seek to generate
positive absolute returns with lower volatility than other investments. The various hedge fund managers can invest in all financial
instruments. Substantially all of the investment could be liquidated within 18 months.
The Companies set aside funds for retiree health benefits through a separate account within the pension trust, as permitted under
Section 401(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In accordance with the Code, the plan’s investments in the 401(h)
account may not be used for, or diverted to, any purpose other than providing health benefits for retirees. The net assets held in the 401(h)
account are calculated based on a pro-rata percentage allocation of the net assets in the pension plan. The related obligations for health
benefits are not included in the pension plan’s obligations and are included in the Companies’ other postretirement benefit obligation. See

The decrease in the other postretirement benefits funded status liability at December 31, 2023 for Con Edison and
CECONY of $164 million and $138 million, respectively, compared with December 31, 2022, was primarily due to
updated per capita costs based on plan experience and higher asset returns in 2023. The decrease in the other
postretirement benefits funded status liability at December 31, 2022 for Con Edison and CECONY of $50 million
and $21 million, respectively, compared with December 31, 2021, was primarily due to a decrease in the plans'
projected benefit obligation as a result of an increase in the discount rate, which more than offset the decrease in
the fair value of plan assets as a result of the actual return on plan assets. For 2023, included within the funded
status are noncurrent assets of $224 million and $154 million for Con Edison and CECONY, respectively. For 2022,
included within the funded status are noncurrent assets of $72 million and $27 million for Con Edison and CECONY,
respectively.

140

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

For Con Edison, the decrease in funded status liability at December 31, 2023 corresponds with a net decrease to
regulatory assets and increase to regulatory liabilities of $123 million for unrecognized net gains and unrecognized
prior service costs associated with the Utilities consistent with the accounting rules for regulated operations, a credit
to OCI of $2 million (net of taxes) for the unrecognized net gains and an immaterial change to OCI for the
unrecognized prior service costs associated with Con Edison Transmission and RECO.

For CECONY, the decrease in funded status liability at December 31, 2023 corresponds with a net decrease to
regulatory assets and increase to regulatory liabilities of $119 million for unrecognized net gains and the
unrecognized prior service costs associated with the company consistent with the accounting rules for regulated
operations, a debit to OCI of $1 million (net of taxes) for the unrecognized net gains and an immaterial change to
OCI for the unrecognized prior service costs associated with eligible employees of Con Edison Transmission who
previously worked for CECONY.

Note G – Environmental Matters
Superfund Sites
Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or
generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities
and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored.

The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state
statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances
for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement,
containment and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be
imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they
occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their
manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to
herein as “Superfund Sites.”

For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site
investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay
to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the
manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the
accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites
and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is
necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the
information available, applicable remediation standards and experience with similar sites.

The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as
follows:

Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part.
However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been
determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available,
the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

143

may be material. The Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery
through rates) prudently incurred site investigation and remediation costs.

Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites at December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as
follows:

(Millions of Dollars)

Insurance and other third party recoveries received by Con Edison or CECONY were immaterial in 2023 and 2022.

Con Edison and CECONY estimate that in 2024 they will incur costs for remediation of approximately $62 million
and $60 million, respectively. The Companies are unable to estimate the time period over which the remaining
accrued liability will be incurred because, among other things, the required remediation has not been determined for
some of the sites.

In 2023, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that for their manufactured gas plant sites (including CECONY’s
Astoria site), the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or
other environmental contaminants could range up to $3,440 million and $3,295 million, respectively. These
estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet
been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of
the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different.

Asbestos Proceedings
Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants,
wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and
injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been
resolved, that are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in
the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of
dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of
previous claims. At December 31, 2023, Con Edison and CECONY have accrued their estimated aggregate
undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought through 2035 as shown in
the following table. These estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk
factor assessment. Courts have applied, and may continue to apply, different standards for determining liability in
asbestos suits than the standard that applied historically. As a result, the Companies currently believe that there is a
reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss in excess of the liability accrued for the suits. The Companies are
unable to estimate the amount or range of such loss. In addition, certain current and former employees have
claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos.
CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its
asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims.

The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos
exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities for the Companies at December 31, 2023 and
2022 were as follows:

Note H – Material Contingencies
Manhattan Explosion and Fire
On March 12, 2014, two multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116th and 117th Streets
in Manhattan were destroyed by an explosion and fire. CECONY had delivered gas to the buildings through service
lines from a distribution main located below ground on Park Avenue. Eight people died and more than 50 people
were injured. Additional buildings were also damaged. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)
investigated. The parties to the investigation included CECONY, the City of New York, the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration and the NYSPSC. In June 2015, the NTSB issued a final report concerning the
incident, its probable cause and safety recommendations. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the
incident was (1) the failure of a defective fusion joint at a service tee (which joined a plastic service line to a plastic
distribution main) installed by CECONY that allowed gas to leak from the distribution main and migrate into a
building where it ignited and (2) a breach in a city sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the
sewer, resulting in a loss of support for the distribution main, that caused it to sag and overstressed the defective
fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to CECONY that addressed
its procedures for the preparation and examination of plastic fusions, training of its staff on conditions for
notifications to the city’s Fire Department and extension of its gas main isolation valve installation program. In
February 2017, the NYSPSC approved a settlement agreement with CECONY related to the NYSPSC's
investigations of the incident and the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions. Pursuant to the
agreement, CECONY provided $27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it accrued a regulatory liability)
and did not recover from customers $126 million of costs for gas emergency response activities that it had
previously incurred and expensed. Lawsuits are pending against CECONY seeking generally unspecified damages
and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business
interruption. CECONY notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the
incident will cover CECONY's costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to
satisfy any liability it may have for damages in connection with the incident. During 2020, CECONY accrued its
estimated liability for the suits of $40 million and an insurance receivable in the same amount, and such estimated
liability and receivable did not change as of December 31, 2023.

Other Contingencies
For additional contingencies, see “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B, Note G and "Uncertain Tax Positions" in
Note L.

Guarantees
Con Edison and its subsidiaries have entered into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance
primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. In addition, Con Edison has provided guarantees to third
parties on behalf of the Clean Energy Businesses, that are in the process of being transferred to the buyer of the
Clean Energy Businesses, RWE Aktiengesellschaft (RWE). Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison and its
subsidiaries under these agreements totaled $175 million and $2,412 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.

Transmission owns a 45.7 percent interest in New York Transco's New York Energy Solution project, the majority of
which has been completed. Guarantee amount shown includes the maximum possible required amount of Con
Edison Transmission's contributions for the remainder of this project as calculated based on the assumptions that
the project is completed at 175 percent of its estimated remaining costs and New York Transco does not use any
debt financing for the project.

Broken Bow II — Con Edison has guaranteed obligations on behalf of Broken Bow II associated with its investment
in a wind energy facility. Broken Bow II is held for sale as of December 31, 2023. See Note X.

Note I – Electricity and Gas Purchase Agreements
The Utilities have electricity purchase agreements with non-utility generators and others for generating capacity and
gas purchase agreements for natural gas supply, transportation and storage. The Utilities recover their purchased
power and gas costs in accordance with provisions approved by the applicable state public utility regulators. See
“Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A. The Utilities also conducted auctions and have entered into various other
electricity and gas purchase agreements. Assuming performance by the parties to the electricity purchase
agreements, the Utilities are obligated over the terms of the agreements to make capacity and other fixed
payments.

The future capacity and other fixed payments under the electricity and gas purchase agreements are estimated to
be as follows:

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Note J – Leases
The Companies lease land, office buildings, equipment and access rights to support electric transmission facilities.
The Companies recognize lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on their consolidated balance sheets for
virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease, the expense for which
was immaterial). A lease right-of-use asset represents a right to use an identifiable underlying asset and obtain
substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that asset for the lease term. A lease liability represents an
obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Leases are classified as either operating leases or
finance leases. Operating leases of the Utilities are included in operating lease right-of-use asset and operating
lease liabilities on the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases of the Clean Energy businesses
are included in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale on Con Edison's consolidated balance sheet as of
December 31, 2022. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy
Businesses. See Note W and Note X. Finance leases are included in other noncurrent assets, other current
liabilities and other noncurrent liabilities. The Utilities, as regulated entities, are permitted to continue to recognize
expense for operating leases using the timing that conforms to the regulatory rate treatment as rental payments are
recovered from our customers and to account the same way for finance leases.

For new operating leases, the Companies recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease
liabilities based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. As most of the Companies’ leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Companies used their collateralized
incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present
value of future payments. Most of the Companies’ leases have remaining lease terms of one year to 20 years and
may include options to renew or extend the leases for up to five years at the fair rental value. The Companies' lease
terms include options to renew, extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Companies will
exercise that option. There were no leases with material variable lease payments or residual value guarantees. The
Companies account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Operating lease cost and cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were as follows:

As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, assets recorded as finance leases for Con Edison were $2 million for
each year and the accumulated amortization associated with such finance leases were $2 million, $5 million, and $4
million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, assets recorded as finance leases for CECONY
were $1 million for each year and the accumulated amortization associated with such finance leases were $2 million
for each year.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, finance lease costs and cash flows for Con Edison and
CECONY were immaterial.

Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations for Con Edison and CECONY were $11 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023 and $79 million and $68 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31,
2022 of which $10 million for Con Edison related to the Clean Energy Businesses. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison
completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Note K – Goodwill
The Companies test goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever there is a triggering event. There is an
option to first make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount before applying a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative
goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including
goodwill. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is
considered not impaired. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment
loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that
reporting unit.

Con Edison has recorded goodwill related to the O&R merger and the acquisition of a portion of Honeoye. Further,
included within Con Edison's assets held for sale as of December 31, 2022 is goodwill related to the acquisitions of
a residential solar company and a battery storage company by the Clean Energy Businesses. On March 1, 2023,
Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

In 2023 and 2022, Con Edison completed quantitative and qualitative impairment tests, respectively, for its goodwill
of $406 million related to the O&R merger and determined that it was not impaired. For the impairment test, $245
million and $161 million of goodwill were allocated to CECONY and O&R, respectively. In 2021, Con Edison
determined, based on a discounted cash flow analysis, that $7 million of goodwill was impaired related to Honeoye,
$5 million of which was attributed to Con Edison Transmission and $2 million of which was attributed to CECONY.
The remaining goodwill attributable to Honeoye was not material at December 31, 2023 or 2022. No other
impairments or triggering events were identified for Con Edison's goodwill for the years ending December 31, 2023,
2022 or 2021.

Estimates of future cash flows, projected growth rates, and discount rates inherent in the cash flow estimates for
Con Edison subsidiaries other than the Utilities may vary significantly from actual results, which could result in a
future impairment of goodwill.

Con Edison’s effective tax rate decreased 8 percent in 2023 primarily due to tax benefits from the recognition of
deferred unamortized investment tax credits and the absence of the remeasurement of state deferred income taxes
on the announced sale of the Clean Energy Businesses recognized in 2022, offset in part by higher income before
income tax expense in 2023 due to the gain on the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses and lower renewable
energy tax credits due to the sale.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses, which was
accounted for as a stock sale for GAAP purposes and a deemed sale of assets and liquidation for tax purposes.
Con Edison's pre-tax gain on the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses was $865 million ($767 million, net of tax) for
the year ended December 31, 2023. The sale included all assets, operations and projects of the Clean Energy
Businesses with the exception of tax equity interests and a deferred project, that were treated as distributions to
Con Edison. See Note W and Note X.

At December 31, 2023, Con Edison has $270 million in general business tax credit carryovers (primarily renewable
energy tax credits). If unused, these general business tax credit carryovers will begin to expire in 2038. A deferred
tax asset for these tax attribute carryforwards was recorded, and no valuation allowance was provided, as it is more
likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.

At December 31, 2023, Con Edison has a deferred tax asset on its New York City net operating loss carryforward of
$8 million that will begin to expire, if unused, in 2035. Con Edison recorded a full valuation allowance against this
deferred tax asset as it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

At December 31, 2022, the Clean Energy Businesses had a deferred tax asset on non New York net operating
losses of $43 million, with a valuation allowance of $9 million against the deferred tax assets. During the year ended
December 31, 2023, $26 million of deferred tax assets on state net operating losses were utilized as a result of the
sale of the Clean Energy Businesses with $17 million of deferred taxes remaining which are not expected to be
utilized. Con Edison has written off the $17 million and the related $9 million valuation allowance as these deferred
tax assets will not be realized due to the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

In April 2023, the IRS released Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting
that taxpayers may use to determine whether certain expenditures to maintain, repair, replace, or improve natural
gas transmission and distribution property must be capitalized as improvements by the taxpayer or currently
deducted for federal income tax purposes. This revenue procedure also provides procedures for taxpayers to obtain
automatic consent to change their method of accounting to the safe harbor method of accounting permitted by this
revenue procedure. Con Edison recorded an increase in accumulated plant-related deferred tax liabilities of
$228 million ($204 million for CECONY) to reflect the cumulative impact of this change in accounting method for the
Utilities.

In May 2023, New York State passed a law that extended the increase in the corporate franchise tax rate from 6.5
percent to 7.25 percent for another three-year period, through tax year 2026, for taxpayers with taxable income
greater than $5 million. The law also temporarily extended the business capital tax through tax year 2026, not to
exceed an annual maximum tax liability of $5 million per taxpayer, with a corporation paying the higher of its
franchise or income tax liability during the same period. New York State also passed a law establishing a permanent
rate of 30 percent for the metropolitan transportation business tax surcharge. As a result of the sale of the Clean
Energy Businesses in 2023, Con Edison has New York State taxable income in excess of $5 million after using its
entire New York State Net Operating Loss carryforward, and therefore, the group is subject to the higher 7.25
percent rate (9.425 percent with the surcharge rate) on its taxable income for tax year 2023. As a result of this
legislation, CECONY remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities that would reverse before 2027 and recorded
state deferred income tax expense (net of federal benefit) and an increase in accumulated deferred tax liabilities of
$10 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Uncertain Tax Positions
Under the accounting rules for income taxes, the Companies are not permitted to recognize the tax benefit
attributable to a tax position unless such position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing
authorities, including resolution of any related appeals and litigation processes, based solely on the technical merits
of the position.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for Con Edison and CECONY

At December 31, 2023, the estimated uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $11 million ($7 million for
CECONY). For the year ended December 31, 2023, Con Edison recognized $8 million ($4 million for CECONY) of
income tax expense related to current year positions, and recognized a tax benefit of $8 million ($5 million for
CECONY) related to positions in prior years. In 2023, Con Edison settled with the IRS on the research and
development credits related to the Clean Energy Businesses for the 2020-2021 tax years resulting in a reduction in
the liability for general business credit carryovers of $12 million, for which an uncertain tax position had previously
been recorded. In addition, CECONY reversed $6 million in uncertain tax positions related to the same tax years
that reduced its effective tax rate. Con Edison and CECONY reasonably expect to resolve within the next twelve
months approximately $3 million of various federal uncertainties due to the expected completion of ongoing tax
examinations, of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce their effective tax rate. The total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $11 million
($10 million, net of federal taxes) with $7 million attributable to CECONY.

The Companies recognize interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions in interest expense and would recognize
penalties, if any, in operating expenses in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. In 2023, 2022 and
2021, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of interest expense and no penalties for uncertain tax

152

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

positions in their consolidated income statements. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Companies
recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets.

In October 2023, Con Edison reached a settlement with New York State and closed its open examinations for the
2010-2014 tax years and paid $6 million in interest and $4 million in income taxes after applying the remaining
$12 million of a special deposit made in 2013.

Con Edison’s federal tax return for 2022 remains under examination. State and local tax returns remain open for
examination in New York State for tax years 2015 through 2022, in New Jersey for tax years 2019 through 2022 and
in New York City for tax years 2019 through 2022.

decoupling mechanisms, net EAMs, and LPCs, respectively, and $(18) million, $2 million and $4 million for O&R's revenue decoupling
mechanisms, net EAMs, and LPCs, respectively. For the Clean Energy Businesses, this included revenue from wholesale services. For the
Clean Energy Businesses, this includes revenue from wholesale services. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the
stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

(b) Other includes the parent company, Con Edison's tax equity investments, the deferred project held for sale and consolidated adjustments.

See Note X.

(c) On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

Revenues are recorded as energy is delivered, generated or services are provided and billed to customers, except
for services under percentage-of-completion contracts. Amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable -
customers, with payment generally due the following month. Con Edison’s and the Utilities’ accounts receivable -
customers balance also reflects the Utilities’ purchase of receivables from energy service companies to support
retail choice programs. Accrued revenues not yet billed to customers are recorded as accrued unbilled revenues.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

The Utilities have the obligation to deliver electricity, gas and steam energy to their customers. As the energy is
immediately available for use upon delivery to the customer, the energy and its delivery are identifiable as a single
performance obligation. The Utilities recognize revenues as this performance obligation is satisfied over time as the
Utilities deliver, and the customers simultaneously receive and consume, the energy. The amount of revenues
recognized reflects the consideration the Utilities expect to receive in exchange for delivering the energy. Under
their tariffs, the transaction price for full-service customers includes the Utilities’ energy cost and for all customers
includes delivery charges determined based on customer class and in accordance with established tariffs and
guidelines of the NYSPSC or the NJBPU, as applicable. Accordingly, there is no unsatisfied performance obligation
associated with these customers. The transaction price is applied to the Utilities’ revenue generating activities
through the customer billing process. Because energy is delivered over time, the Utilities use output methods that
recognize revenue based on direct measurement of the value transferred, such as units delivered, which provides
an accurate measure of value for the energy delivered. The Utilities accrue revenues at the end of each month for
estimated energy delivered but not yet billed to customers. The Utilities defer over a 12-month period net
interruptible gas revenues, other than those authorized by the NYSPSC to be retained by the Utilities, for refund to
firm gas sales and transportation customers.

The Clean Energy Businesses recognized revenue for the sale of energy from renewable electric projects as energy
was generated and billed to counterparties; accrued revenues at the end of each month for energy generated but
not yet billed to counterparties; and recognized revenue as energy was delivered and services were provided for
managing energy supply assets leased from others and managing the dispatch, fuel requirements and risk
management activities for generating plants and merchant transmission in the northeastern United States. The
Clean Energy Businesses also recognized revenue for providing energy-efficiency services to government and
commercial customers, and recognized revenue for engineering, procurement and construction services, under the
percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all
of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

Use of the Percentage-of-Completion Method
Sales and profits on each percentage-of-completion contract at the Clean Energy Businesses were recorded each
month based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of the
contract, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenues recognized in prior periods
(the ‘‘cost-to-cost’’ method). The impact of revisions of contract estimates, which may have resulted from contract
modifications, performance or other reasons, were recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which
the revisions were made. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy
Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

(a) Unbilled contract revenue represents accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts (revenue arrangements), which have been

recorded as revenue, but have not yet been billed to customers, and which represent contract assets as defined in Topic 606. Substantially
all accrued unbilled contract revenue is expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled contract revenue arises from the cost-to-cost
method of revenue recognition. Unbilled contract revenue from fixed-price type contracts is converted to billed receivables when amounts
are invoiced to customers according to contractual billing terms, which generally occur when deliveries or other performance milestones are
completed.

(b) Unearned revenue represents a liability for billings to customers in excess of earned revenue, which are contract liabilities as defined in

Topic 606.

(c) Additions for unbilled contract revenue and subtractions for unearned revenue represent additional revenue earned. Additions for unearned
revenue and subtractions for unbilled contract revenue represent billings. Activity also includes appropriate balance sheet classification for
the period.

(d) Of the subtractions from unearned revenue, $3 million, $4 million and $34 million were included in the balances as of January 1, 2023,

2022, and 2021, respectively.

(e) Following the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, Con Edison received substantially all contract revenue, net of certain costs incurred, for

a battery storage project located in Imperial County, California. See Note W.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Note N – Current Expected Credit Losses
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
The Utilities’ “Account receivable – customers” balance consists of utility bills due (bills are generally due the month
following billing) from customers who have energy delivered, generated, or services provided by the Utilities. The
balance also reflects the Utilities’ purchase of receivables from energy service companies to support the retail
choice programs.

“Other receivables” balance generally reflects costs billed by the Utilities for goods and services provided to external
parties, such as accommodation work for private parties and certain governmental entities, real estate rental and
pole attachments.

On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W
and Note X. The Clean Energy Businesses’ customer accounts receivable balance generally reflected the
management of energy supply assets, energy-efficiency services to government and commercial customers, and
the engineering, procurement, and construction services of renewable energy projects. The Clean Energy
Businesses calculated an allowance for uncollectible accounts related to their energy services customers based on
an aging and customer-specific analysis. The amount of such reserves was not material at December 31, 2022.
The Clean Energy Businesses were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2022.

The Companies develop expected loss estimates using past events data and consider current conditions and future
reasonable and supportable forecasts. Changes to the Utilities’ reserve balances that result in write-offs of customer
accounts receivable balances above existing rate allowances are not reflected in rates during the term of the current
rate plans. For the Utilities’ customer accounts receivable allowance for uncollectible accounts, past events
considered include write-offs relative to customer accounts receivable; current conditions include macro-and micro-
economic conditions related to trends in the local economy, bankruptcy rates and aged customer accounts
receivable balances, among other factors; and forecasts about the future include assumptions related to the level of
write-offs and recoveries. Generally, the Utilities write off customer accounts receivable as uncollectible 90 days
after the account is turned off for non-payment, or the account is closed during the collection process. See
"COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B.

Other receivables allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated based on a historical average of collections
relative to total other receivables, including current receivables. Current macro- and micro-economic conditions are
also considered when calculating the current reserve. Probable outcomes of pending litigation, whether favorable or
unfavorable to the Companies, are also included in the consideration.

Starting in 2020, the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was also considered in forward-looking
projections related to write-off and recovery rates and resulted in increases to the allowance for uncollectible
accounts. The increases to the allowance for customer uncollectible accounts for Con Edison and CECONY were
$38 million and $39 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increases to the allowance for
uncollectible accounts for Con Edison and CECONY were $5 million and $10 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022.

Customer accounts receivable and the associated allowance for uncollectible accounts are included in the line
“Accounts receivable – customers” on the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets. Other receivables and the
associated allowance for uncollectible accounts are included in “Other receivables” on the consolidated balance
sheets.

Note O – Stock-Based Compensation
The Companies may compensate employees and directors with, among other things, stock options, stock units,
restricted stock units and contributions to the stock purchase plan. Long Term Incentive Plans that were approved
by Con Edison’s shareholders in 2003 (2003 LTIP), 2013 (2013 LTIP), and 2023 (2023 LTIP) are collectively
referred to herein as the LTIP. The LTIP provides for, among other things, awards to employees of restricted stock
units and stock options and, to Con Edison’s non-employee directors, stock units. Existing awards under the 2003
LTIP and the 2013 LTIP continue in effect, however no new awards may be issued under either plan. The 2023
LTIP provides for awards for up to ten million shares of common stock.

During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, equity awards were granted under the 2013 LTIP.
Shares of Con Edison common stock used to satisfy the Companies’ obligations with respect to stock-based
compensation may be new shares (authorized, but unissued) or treasury shares (existing treasury shares or shares
purchased in the open market). The shares used during the year ended December 31, 2023 were new shares. The
Companies intend to use new shares to fulfill their stock-based compensation obligations for 2024.

The Companies recognized stock-based compensation expense using a fair value measurement method. The
following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recognized by the Companies in the years ended
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

Restricted Stock and Stock Units
Restricted stock and stock unit awards under the LTIP have been made as follows: (i) awards that provide for
adjustment of the number of units (performance-restricted stock units or Performance RSUs) to certain officers and
employees; (ii) time-based awards to certain officers and employees; and (iii) awards to non-employee directors.
Restricted stock and stock units awarded represent the right to receive, upon vesting, shares of Con Edison
common stock, or, except for units awarded under the directors’ plan, the cash value of shares or a combination
thereof.

The number of units in each annual Performance RSU award is subject to adjustment as follows: (i) 50 percent of
the units awarded will be multiplied by a factor that may range from 0 to 200 percent, based on Con Edison’s total
shareholder return relative to a specified peer group during a specified performance period (the TSR portion); and
(ii) 50 percent of the units awarded will be multiplied by factors that may range from 0 to 200 percent, based on

156

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

determinations made in connection with the Companies’ annual incentive plans or, with respect to certain executive
officers, actual performance as compared to certain performance measures during a specified performance period
(the non-TSR portion). Performance RSU awards generally vest upon completion of the performance period.

Performance against the established targets is recomputed each reporting period as of the earlier of the reporting
date and the vesting date. The TSR portion applies a Monte Carlo simulation model, and the non-TSR portion is the
product of the market price at the end of the period and the average non-TSR determination over the vesting period.
Performance RSUs are “liability awards” because each Performance RSU represents the right to receive, upon
vesting, one share of Con Edison common stock, the cash value of a share or a combination thereof. As such,
changes in the fair value of the Performance RSUs are reflected in net income. The assumptions used to calculate
the fair value of the awards were as follows:

Risk-free interest rate (a)

Expected term (b)

Expected share price volatility (c)

2021

3 years

17.88% - 19.92% 19.65% - 21.77% 17.25% - 31.42%

(a) The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve.
(b) The expected term of the Performance RSUs equals the vesting period. The Companies do not expect significant forfeitures to occur.
(c) Based on historical experience. The Companies would reevaluate this assumption if market conditions or business developments would

reasonably indicate that future volatility might differ materially from historical experience.

A summary of changes in the status of the Performance RSUs’ TSR and non-TSR portions during the year ended
December 31, 2023 is as follows:

(a) The TSR and non-TSR Portions each account for 50 percent of the awards’ value.
(b) Fair value is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation described above. Weighted average grant date fair value does not reflect any

accrual or payment of dividends prior to vesting.

(c) Fair value is determined using the market price of one share of Con Edison common stock on the grant date. The market price has not been

discounted to reflect that dividends do not accrue and are not payable on Performance RSUs until vesting.

The total expense to be recognized by Con Edison in future periods for unvested Performance RSUs outstanding at
December 31, 2023 is $38 million, including $34 million for CECONY, and is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of one year for both Con Edison and CECONY. Con Edison and CECONY paid cash of
$21 million and $19 million in 2023, $10 million and $9 million in 2022, and $8 million and $7 million in 2021,
respectively, to settle vested Performance RSUs.

In accordance with the accounting rules for stock compensation, for time-based awards, the Companies accrue a
liability and recognize compensation expense based on the market value of a common share throughout the vesting
period. The vesting period for awards is three years and is based on the officer or employee’s continuous service to
Con Edison. Prior to vesting, the awards are subject to forfeiture in whole or in part under certain circumstances.
The awards are “liability awards” because each restricted stock unit represents the right to receive, upon vesting,
one share of Con Edison common stock, the cash value of a share or a combination thereof. As such, prior to
vesting, changes in the fair value of the units are reflected in net income.

A summary of changes in the status of time-based awards during the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

The total expense to be recognized by Con Edison in future periods for unvested time-based awards outstanding at
December 31, 2023 is $12 million, including $12 million for CECONY, and is expected to be recognized over a
weighted average period of two years. Con Edison and CECONY paid cash of $2 million in 2023 and 2022, and
$1 million in 2021, to settle vested time-based awards.

Under the LTIP, each non-employee director receives stock units, which are deferred until the director’s separation
from service or another date specified by the director. Each director may also elect to defer all or a portion of their
cash compensation into additional stock units, which are deferred until the director’s termination of service or
another date specified by the director. Non-employee directors’ stock units issued under the LTIP are considered
“equity awards,” because they may only be settled in shares. Directors immediately vest in units issued to them.
The fair value of the units is determined using the closing price of Con Edison’s common stock on the business day
immediately preceding the date of issue. In the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 29,000 units were
issued at a weighted average grant date price of $94.78.

Stock Purchase Plan
The Stock Purchase Plans, which were approved by shareholders in 2004 and 2014 (collectively, the Plan), provide
for the Companies to contribute up to $1 for each $9 invested by their directors, officers or employees to purchase
Con Edison common stock under the Plan. Eligible participants may invest up to $25,000 during any calendar year
(subject to an additional limitation for officers and employees of not more than 20 percent of their pay). Dividends
paid on shares held under the Plan are reinvested in additional shares unless otherwise directed by the participant.

Participants in the Plan immediately vest in shares purchased by them under the Plan. Prior to September 1, 2020,
the fair value of the shares of Con Edison common stock purchased under the Plan was calculated using the
average of the high and low composite sale prices at which shares were traded at the New York Stock Exchange on
the trading day immediately preceding such purchase dates. During 2020, the Plan was amended and as a result of
the amendment, the fair value of the shares of Con Edison common stock purchased after September 1, 2020
under the Plan was calculated using the closing price at which shares were traded on the New York Stock
Exchange on the last business day of the month for all shares purchased during the month. During 2023, 2022 and
2021, 751,702, 744,932 and 957,866 shares were purchased under the Plan at a weighted average price of $91.80,
$91.59 and $73.38 per share, respectively.

Note P – Financial Information by Business Segment
The business segments of each of the Companies, which are its operating segments, were determined based on
management’s reporting and decision-making requirements in accordance with the accounting rules for segment
reporting.

Con Edison’s principal business segments are CECONY’s regulated utility activities, O&R’s regulated utility
activities and Con Edison Transmission. CECONY’s principal business segments are its regulated electric, gas and
steam utility activities.

All revenues of these business segments are from customers located in the United States of America. Also, all
assets of the business segments are located in the United States of America. The accounting policies of the
segments are the same as those described in Note A.

(a) The Clean Energy Businesses were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2022. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the

sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. As a result of this sale, the Clean Energy Businesses are no longer a principal
segment. See Note W and Note X.

(b) Other includes the parent company, Con Edison’s tax equity investments, the deferred project held for sale and consolidation adjustments.

Note Q – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of
electricity, natural gas, steam and, to a lesser extent, refined fuels by using derivative instruments including futures,
forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts.
These are economic hedges, for which the Utilities do not elect hedge accounting. The Companies use economic
hedges to manage commodity price risk in accordance with provisions set by state regulators. The volume of
hedging activity at the Utilities depends upon the forecasted volume of physical commodity supply to meet customer
needs, and program costs or benefits are recovered from or credited to full-service customers, respectively.
Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note R), unless an exception is
available under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. Qualifying derivative contracts that have been
designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules.
On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W
and Note X.

(a) Derivative instruments and collateral were offset on the consolidated balance sheet as applicable under the accounting rules. The

Companies enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide offset in the event of contract
termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting party’s payable will be offset by the defaulting party’s payable. The non-defaulting
party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount.
(b) At December 31, 2023, margin deposits for Con Edison and CECONY of $7 million and $6 million, respectively were classified as derivative
assets and $(15) million and $(10) million, respectively were classified as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, but not
included in the table. At December 31, 2022, margin deposits for Con Edison and CECONY of $13 million were classified as derivative
assets, and $(10) million and $(6) million, respectively were classified as derivative liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, but not
included in the table. Margin is collateral, typically cash, that the holder of a derivative instrument is required to deposit in order to transact
on an exchange and to cover its potential losses with its broker or the exchange.
Includes amounts for interest rate swaps of $31 million in current assets and $75 million in noncurrent assets. At December 31, 2022, the
Clean Energy Businesses had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $982 million. The expiration dates of the swaps ranged from
2025-2041.

(c)

(d) Amounts represent derivative assets and liabilities included in current assets and current liabilities held for sale, respectively, on Con

Edison's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the
Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

The Utilities generally recover their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging gains
and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility regulators. In accordance with
the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or regulatory liability to defer
recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in
future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated
income statements.

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

161

The Clean Energy Businesses recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in
gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the reporting period in which they occurred. The Clean Energy
Businesses recorded changes in the fair value of their interest rate swaps in other interest expense at the end of
each reporting period. Management believes that these derivative instruments represent economic hedges that
mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed
the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

(a) Unrealized net deferred gains on electric and gas derivatives for the Utilities decreased as a result of lower electric and gas commodity
prices during the year ended December 31, 2023. Upon settlement, short-term deferred derivative losses generally increase the
recoverable costs of electric and gas purchases.

(b) Comprised of amounts related to interest rate swaps of the Clean Energy Businesses. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale

of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

(b) Excludes electric congestion and gas basis swap contracts which are associated with electric and gas contracts and hedged volumes.

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy
supply and hedging activities by the Utilities. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s
nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval
process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment
arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the
replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for
settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized
losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.

162

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

At December 31, 2023, Con Edison and CECONY had $92 million and $90 million of credit exposure in connection
with open energy supply net receivables and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net
credit exposure consisted of $83 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties, $2 million with
investment-grade counterparties, and $7 million with commodity exchange brokers. CECONY’s net credit exposure
consisted of $83 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties, $1 million with investment-grade
counterparties, and $6 million with commodity exchange brokers.

The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash
flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument
contracts contain provisions that may require a party to provide collateral on its derivative instruments that are in a
net liability position. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative
instruments and the party’s credit ratings.

The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Companies’ derivative instruments with credit-risk-
related contingent features that are in a net liability position, the collateral posted for such positions and the
additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been
reduced one level and to below investment grade at December 31, 2023:

(a) Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, that have been

designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity
from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities are no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies
would be required to post additional collateral of $3 million at December 31, 2023. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the
Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds
for insecurity.

(b) The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that

contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions
and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any
unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset.

(c) Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At December 31, 2023, if Con Edison had been downgraded

to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $16 million.

Note R – Fair Value Measurements
The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is
determined based on inputs, that refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or
liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The
Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability,
including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use
valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets
and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to
the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value
hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting
rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:

•

Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with
sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

163

•

contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the
exchange.
Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other
than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement
date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors
and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic
measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets
priced with industry standard models.
Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models
or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any,
market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available
information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that
are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after
the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a
significant portion of the value.

For information on the measurement of Con Edison's investment in MVP, which was measured at fair value on a
non-recurring basis, see Note A. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the years
ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are summarized below.

(a) The Companies’ policy is to review the fair value hierarchy and recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of each

reporting period. Con Edison and CECONY had $9 million and $6 million of derivative liabilities, respectively, transferred from level 3 to
level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2023 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of
certain contracts from beyond three years as of September 30, 2023 to less than three years as of December 31, 2023. Con Edison and
CECONY had an immaterial amount of commodity derivative liabilities and $10 million and $9 million of commodity derivative assets,
respectively, transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2022 because of availability of observable market data
due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of September 30, 2022 to less than three years as of
December 31, 2022.

(b) Level 2 assets and liabilities include investments held in the deferred compensation plan and/or non-qualified retirement plans, exchange-

traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1, and certain over-the-counter derivative
instruments for electricity, refined products and natural gas. Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 are valued using industry standard
models that incorporate corroborated observable inputs, such as pricing services or prices from similar instruments that trade in liquid
markets, time value and volatility factors.

(c) The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including
credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2023 and
2022, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of
operations.

164

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

(d) Other assets: Level 1 assets are comprised primarily of mutual/commingled funds, and Level 2 assets are comprised primarily of the cash

value of life insurance contracts.

(e) Amounts represent the impact of legally-enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Companies to net gain and loss positions

and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties.

(f) See Note Q.
(g) On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

The employees in the Companies’ risk management group develop and maintain the Companies’ valuation policies
and procedures for, and verify pricing and fair value valuation of, commodity derivatives. Under the Companies’
policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to
value commodity derivatives. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives are reported monthly to
the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy
hedging at the Utilities. The risk management group reports to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.

(a) On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part
of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate
provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities regulators. See Note A. Unrealized gains and losses for
commodity derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting
rules for regulated operations.

For the Clean Energy Businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets
and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($17 million loss and $26 million gain) on the consolidated income
statement for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses and amounts for 2023 are shown through the
date of sale. See Note W and Note X.

Note S – Variable Interest Entities
The accounting rules for consolidation address the consolidation of a variable interest entity (VIE) by a business
enterprise that is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is an entity that does not have a sufficient equity investment at risk
to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary is the business enterprise that has the
power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and either
absorbs a significant amount of the VIE’s losses or has the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the
VIE.

The Companies enter into arrangements including leases, partnerships and electricity purchase agreements, with
various entities. As a result of these arrangements, the Companies retain or may retain a variable interest in these
entities.

CECONY
CECONY has an ongoing long-term electricity purchase agreement with Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration
Partners, LP, a potential VIE. In 2023, a request was made of this counterparty for information necessary to
determine whether the entity was a VIE and whether CECONY is the primary beneficiary; however, the information
was not made available. See Note I for information on these electricity purchase agreements; the payments for this
contract constitute CECONY's maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential VIE.

Clean Energy Businesses
Con Edison has determined that the use of Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) accounting is reasonable
and appropriate to attribute income and loss to the tax equity investors for various projects owned by the Clean
Energy Businesses. See "Use of Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value" in Note A. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison
completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. In connection with the sale, Con Edison
retained a tax equity interest in two renewable electric projects located in Virginia, and in the Crane Solar Project
(collectively, the "Retained Projects"). Included in the sale were Con Edison's interests in CED Nevada Virginia and
the Tax Equity Projects, defined below (collectively, the "Sold Projects"). The HLBV method of accounting resulted in
an immaterial amount of income/(loss) for Con Edison and the tax equity investor for the Sold Projects for the year
ended December 31, 2023; information for the year ended December 31, 2022 is presented below. See Note W and
X.

Retained Projects
Con Edison retained a tax equity interest valued at $20 million in two renewable electric projects located in Virginia
that is accounted for as an equity method investment and represents the maximum exposure to loss for this
investment. See Note W. The earnings of the projects, once in service, are determined using the HLBV method of
accounting and resulted in losses of $14 million ($10 million, after tax) for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Con Edison also retained its $11 million equity interest in the Crane solar project that was valued at $0 as of
December 31, 2023 and is accounted for as an equity method investment. See Note W. The earnings of the project
are determined using the HLBV method of accounting and were not material for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022.

Con Edison is not the primary beneficiary of any Retained Projects since the power to direct the activities that most
significantly impact the economics of the renewable electric projects is not held by Con Edison.

Sold Projects
In 2018, the Clean Energy Businesses completed its acquisition of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC. Included in the
acquisition were certain operating projects (Tax Equity Projects) with a noncontrolling tax equity investor to which a
percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated. Electricity generated by the Tax Equity Projects
is sold to utilities and municipalities pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements.

166

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

In 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses entered into an agreement relating to certain projects (CED
Nevada Virginia) with a noncontrolling tax equity investor to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash
flows are allocated.

The Tax Equity Projects and CED Nevada Virginia were consolidated entities in which Con Edison had less than a
100 percent membership interest at December 31, 2022 and in which Con Edison has no interest in subsequent to
the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses on March 1, 2023. Con Edison was the primary beneficiary since the
power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the Tax Equity Projects and CED
Nevada Virginia was held by Con Edison.

The HLBV method of accounting resulted in income/(loss) for Con Edison and the tax equity investors for the years
ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 as shown in the table below. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the
sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

Note T – Asset Retirement Obligations
The Companies recognize a liability at fair value for legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets in the period in which they are incurred, or when sufficient information becomes available to reasonably
estimate the fair value of such legal obligations. When the liability is initially recorded, asset retirement costs are
capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related asset. The liability is accreted to its present value each
period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The fair value of the asset
retirement obligation liability is measured using expected future cash flows discounted at credit-adjusted risk-free
rates, historical information, and where available, quoted prices from outside contractors. The Companies evaluate
these assumptions underlying the asset retirement obligation liability on an annual basis or as frequently as needed.

The Companies did not record an asset retirement obligation for the removal of asbestos associated with the
structures enclosing generating stations and substations. For these building structures, the Companies were unable
to reasonably estimate their asset retirement obligations because the Companies were unable to estimate the
undiscounted retirement costs or the retirement dates and settlement dates. The amount of the undiscounted
retirement costs could vary considerably depending on the disposition method for the building structures, and the
method has not been determined. The Companies anticipate continuing to use these building structures in their
businesses for an indefinite period, and so the retirement dates and settlement dates are not determinable.

Con Edison recorded asset retirement obligations for the removal of the Clean Energy Businesses’ solar and wind
equipment related to projects located on property that is not owned by them and the term of the arrangement is
finite including any renewal options. Con Edison did not record asset retirement obligations for the Clean Energy
Businesses’ projects that were located on property that was owned by them because they expect that the
equipment will continue to generate electricity at these facilities long past the manufacturer’s warranty at minimal
operating expense. Therefore, Con Edison was unable to reasonably estimate the retirement date of this
equipment. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses.
See Note W and Note X.

The Utilities include in depreciation rates the estimated removal costs, less salvage, for utility plant assets. The
amounts related to removal costs that are associated with asset retirement obligations are classified as an asset
retirement liability. Pursuant to accounting rules for regulated operations, future removal costs that do not represent
legal asset retirement obligations are recorded as regulatory liabilities. Accretion and depreciation expenses related
to removal costs that represent legal asset retirement obligations are applied against the Companies’ regulatory
liabilities. Asset retirement costs that are recoverable from customers are recorded as regulatory liabilities to reflect
the timing difference between costs recovered through the rate-making process and recognition of costs.

The following table represents the balance of asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and
changes to the obligation for the years then ended:

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

(b) At December 31, 2023, Con Edison and CECONY recorded reductions of $77 million to the regulatory liability associated with cost of

removal to reflect depreciation and interest expense. At December 31, 2022, Con Edison and CECONY recorded reductions of $78 million
and $77 million, respectively, to the regulatory liability associated with cost of removal to reflect depreciation and interest expense.

Note U – Related Party Transactions
The NYSPSC generally requires that the Utilities and Con Edison’s other subsidiaries be operated as separate
entities. The Utilities and the other subsidiaries are required to have separate operating employees and operating
officers of the Utilities may not be operating officers of the other subsidiaries. The Utilities may provide
administrative and other services to, and receive such services from, Con Edison and its other subsidiaries only
pursuant to cost allocation procedures approved by the NYSPSC. Transfers of assets between the Utilities and Con
Edison or its other subsidiaries may be made only as approved by the NYSPSC. The debt of the Utilities is to be
raised directly by the Utilities and not derived from Con Edison. Without the prior permission of the NYSPSC, the
Utilities may not make loans to, guarantee the obligations of, or pledge assets as security for the indebtedness of
Con Edison or its other subsidiaries. The NYSPSC limits the dividends that the Utilities may pay Con Edison. See
“Dividends” in Note C. As a result, substantially all of the net assets of CECONY and O&R ($19,146 million and
$1,062 million, respectively), at December 31, 2023, are considered restricted net assets. The NYSPSC may
impose additional measures to separate, or “ring fence,” the Utilities from Con Edison and its other subsidiaries.
See “Rate Plans” in Note B.

The costs of administrative and other services provided by CECONY to, and received by it from, Con Edison and its
other subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

(Millions of Dollars)

In addition, CECONY and O&R have joint gas supply arrangements in connection with which CECONY sold to O&R
$82 million, $144 million and $90 million of natural gas for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. These amounts are net of the effect of related hedging transactions.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, CECONY's net receivable (payable) to Con Edison for income taxes were $110
million and $(89) million, respectively.

The Utilities perform work and incur expenses on behalf of New York Transco, a company in which Con Edison
Transmission has a 45.7 percent interest in New York Transco's New York Energy Solution project and a 41.7
percent interest in New York Transco's share of the Propel NY Energy project that is jointly owned with the New York
Power Authority. The Utilities bill New York Transco for such work and expenses in accordance with established
policies. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the amounts billed by the Utilities to New York Transco
were $7.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

CECONY has a 20-year transportation contract with Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP) for 250,000 dekatherms
per day of capacity. Con Edison Transmission has an interest in MVP. See "Investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline,
LLC (MVP) " in Note A. In October 2017, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Natural Resource Defense
Council requested the NYSPSC to prohibit CECONY from recovering costs under its contract with MVP unless
CECONY can demonstrate that the contract is in the public interest. CECONY advised the NYSPSC that it would
respond to the request if the NYSPSC opened a proceeding to consider this request. CECONY has not incurred
costs under the contract.

FERC has authorized CECONY to lend funds to O&R for a period of not more than 12 months, in an amount not to
exceed $250 million, at prevailing market rates. At December 31, 2023 and 2022 there were no outstanding loans to
O&R.

The Clean Energy Businesses had financial electric capacity contracts with CECONY and O&R. For the year ended
December 31, 2022, the Clean Energy Businesses realized a $5 million gain under these contracts. On March 1,
2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses. As a result of the sale, the
Clean Energy Businesses are no longer recognized as a related party. See Note W and Note X.

The Consolidated Edison Foundation, Inc. (the Foundation), established in December 2023, is a non-consolidated
not-for-profit corporation funded by Con Edison that plans to make contributions to selected charitable
organizations. In December 2023, Con Edison made an unconditional promise to give $12 million to the Foundation.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, Con Edison accrued such amount as an expense in “Other Income and
Deductions” within its consolidated income statement.

Note V – New Financial Accounting Standards
In March 2023, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on accounting for Investments—Equity Method and
Joint Ventures (Topic 323) through ASU 2023-02. The amendments would expand the use of the proportional
amortization method of income recognition. The Companies do not expect the new guidance to have a material
impact on their financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In November 2023, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on accounting for Segment Reporting (Topic
280) through ASU 2023-07. The amendments would improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable
segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable
segment’s expenses. For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. A public entity
should apply such amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The
Companies do not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on their financial position, results of
operations and liquidity.

In December 2023, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance on accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)
through ASU 2023-09. The amendments would improve the disclosures related to income taxes. The amendments
focus on three key areas: Rate Reconciliation, Income Taxes Paid, and Income (or loss)/Income tax expense (or
benefit) relating to disaggregated continuing operations. For public entities, the amendments are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements.
The Companies do not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on their financial position, results of
operations and liquidity.

Note W – Dispositions
Crane and Coram
In April 2021, a subsidiary of the Clean Energy Businesses entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its
membership interests in a renewable electric project that it developed and also all of its membership interests in a
renewable electric project that it acquired in 2016. The sales were completed in June 2021. The combined carrying
value of both projects was approximately $192 million in June 2021. The net pre-tax gain on the sales was
$3 million ($2 million after-tax) and was included within "Other operations and maintenance" on Con Edison's
consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2021. The retained portion of the membership
interest in the renewable electric project, of $11 million, was calculated based on a discounted cash flow of future
projected earnings, and the retained portion is accounted for as an equity method investment. The portion of the
gain attributable to the retained portion of the membership interest was not material for the year ended December
31, 2021. See Note S. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale of all of the stock of the Clean Energy
Businesses. See Note W and Note X.

Stagecoach Gas Services
In 2021, a subsidiary of Con Edison Transmission and its joint venture partner agreed to sell their combined
interests in Stagecoach Gas Services LLC (Stagecoach) for a total of $1,225 million, of which $629 million, including
closing adjustments, was attributed to Con Edison Transmission for its 50 percent interest. The purchase and sale
agreement provided for a two-stage closing, the first of which was completed in July 2021 and the second of which
was completed in November 2021. See "Investments - 2021 Partial Impairment of Investment in Stagecoach Gas
Services LLC (Stagecoach)" in Note A.

Clean Energy Businesses
During the first nine months of 2022, Con Edison considered strategic alternatives with respect to the Clean Energy
Businesses. On October 1, 2022, following the conclusion of such review and to allow for continued focus on the
Utilities and their clean energy transition, Con Edison entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to
which Con Edison agreed to sell the Clean Energy Businesses to RWE Renewables Americas, LLC, a subsidiary of
RWE for a total of $6,800 million, subject to closing adjustments. On March 1, 2023, Con Edison completed the sale
of all of the stock of the Clean Energy Businesses to RWE for $3,993 million. The preliminary purchase price at
closing was adjusted (i) upward for certain cash and cash equivalents, (ii) downward for certain indebtedness and

170

CON EDISON ANNUAL REPORT 2023

debt-like items, (iii) downward for certain transaction expenses, (iv) downward to the extent that the net working
capital varied from a set target, (v) upward to the extent that capital expenditures incurred prior to the closing of the
transaction varied from a set budget, and (vi) downward by the value allocated to Broken Bow II, a project that was
not able to be conveyed to RWE upon closing of the transaction. The final purchase price is subject to customary
adjustments for timing differences and a final valuation report, among other factors; the process to finalize the
purchase price is ongoing. The transaction was completed at arm’s length and RWE was not, and will not be,
considered a related party to Con Edison.

Con Edison's preliminary gain on the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses was $865 million ($767 million, after tax)
for the year ended December 31, 2023 and remains subject to true-up for the finalization adjustments described
above. The portion of the gain attributable to the non-controlling interest retained in certain tax-equity projects was
not material. The sale included all of the Clean Energy Businesses with the exception of tax equity interests in three
projects, described below, and one deferred project, Broken Bow II, a 75 MW nameplate capacity wind power
project located in Nebraska. See Note X. Transfer of the project depends on one outstanding counterparty consent,
and if and when such consent is obtained within two years of the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses, i.e., by
February 28, 2025, the project will transfer. RWE Renewables Americas, LLC is operating the facility on behalf of
Con Edison pursuant to certain service agreements, for which the fees are not material.

Con Edison retained the Clean Energy Businesses' tax equity investment interest in the Crane solar project and
another tax equity investment interest in two solar projects located in Virginia. These tax equity partnerships
produce renewable energy tax credits that can be used to reduce Con Edison’s federal income tax in the year in
which the projects are placed in service. These tax credits would be subject to recapture, in whole or in part, if the
assets were sold within a five-year period beginning on the date on which the assets are placed in service. Con
Edison will continue to employ HLBV accounting for its interests in these tax equity partnerships. The combined
carrying value of the retained tax equity interests was approximately $13 million at December 31, 2023.

Con Edison has also retained any post-sale deferred income taxes (federal and state income taxes, including tax
attributes), any valuation allowances associated with the deferred tax assets, all current federal taxes and New York
State taxes and the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions. The unamortized deferred investment tax credits of
the Clean Energy Businesses were recognized in full upon the completion of the sale of the Clean Energy
Businesses.

Concurrent with entering into the purchase and sale agreement, Con Edison incurred costs in the normal course of
the sale process. Transaction costs of $48 million ($35 million after-tax) and $12 million ($9 million after-tax) were
recorded during 2022 and 2023, respectively. Also, depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately
$41 million ($28 million after-tax) were not recorded on the assets of the Clean Energy Businesses in 2023 prior to
the closing of the transaction.

Following the sale of the Clean Energy Businesses and pursuant to a reimbursement and indemnity agreement with
RWE, Con Edison remains responsible for certain potential costs related to a battery storage project located in
Imperial County, California. Con Edison's exposure under the agreement could range up to approximately
$172 million. As of December 31, 2023, no material amounts were recorded as liabilities on Con Edison's
consolidated balance sheet related to this agreement. During 2023, Con Edison received $24 million of net
proceeds from this battery storage project, and $4 million was recorded as unbilled contract revenue as of
December 31, 2023. See Note M.

Item 9: Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
Con Edison
None.

CECONY
None.

Item 9A: Controls and Procedures
The Companies maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that the
information required to be disclosed in the reports that they submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of
the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management,
including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For each of the Companies, its management,
with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated its disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and, based on such evaluation, has
concluded that the controls and procedures are effective to provide such reasonable assurance. Reasonable
assurance is not absolute assurance, however, and there can be no assurance that any design of controls or
procedures would be effective under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

For the Companies’ Reports of Management On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and the related opinions
of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (presented in the Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm), see
Item 8 of this report (which information is incorporated herein by reference).

In October 2023, CECONY and O&R replaced their separate existing customer billing and information systems with
a single new customer billing and information system. The Utilities expect the new system to further automate the
processes by which the Utilities bill their customers and enhance payment, credit and collections activities.
Throughout this system implementation, the Utilities appropriately considered internal controls over financial
reporting. Other than with respect to this item, there were no changes in the Companies’ internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
