Note A – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Other Matters
Revenue RecognitionFinancial Instruments – Credit Losses
Adoption of New Standard
In January 2020, the Companies adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (CECL). The following table presents, foramendments replace the threeincurred loss impairment methodology which involved delayed recognition of credit losses. The amendments introduce an expected credit loss impairment model which requires immediate recognition of anticipated losses over the instrument’s life. A broader range of reasonable and six months ended June 30, 2019supportable information must be considered in developing the credit loss estimates. The Companies' financial instruments subject to the amendments are included in the lines “Accounts receivable – customers” and 2018, revenue from contracts with customers as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," as well as additional revenue from sources other than contracts with customers, disaggregated by major source.“Other receivables.” Substantially all of these in-scope financial instruments are expected to be collected within one year of billing.

The Companies adopted the amendments using the modified retrospective method for all financial instruments measured at amortized costs. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. No prior period adjustment or charge to retained earnings for cumulative impact was required as a result of the Companies’ adoption of the amendments.

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.

The amount of such reserves was not material at March 31, 2020.
(b) Included withinThe Companies develop expected loss estimates using past events data and consider current conditions and future reasonable and supportable forecasts.

(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, $2 million and $50 million were included in the balance as of January 1, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate amount of the remaining fixed performance obligations of the Clean Energy Businesses under contracts with customers for energy services is $67 million, of which $31 million will be recognized within the next two years, and the remaining $36 million will be recognized pursuant to long-term service and maintenance agreements.

General Utility Plant
General utility plant of Con Edison and CECONY included $97$91 million and $92$87 million, respectively, at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and $100$93 million and $95$88 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018,2019, 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 $7$12 million and $6$11 million, respectively at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and was $3$10 million at December 31, 2018.2019.

Goodwill
The Companies test goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever there is a triggering event, and 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 Companies identified no triggering events or changes in circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would indicate that the carrying value of long-lived or intangible assets may not be recoverable at March 31, 2020.

Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
In January 2019, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The output of Con Edison Developmentcertain of the Clean Energy Businesses' renewable electric production projects with an aggregate generating capacity of 680 MW (AC) of generating capacity (PG&E Projects) is sold to PG&E under long-term power purchase agreements (PG&E PPAs). Most of the PG&E PPAs have contract prices that are higher than estimated market prices. PG&E, as a debtor in possession, may assume or reject the PG&E PPAs, subject to review by the bankruptcy court.
In March 2020, PG&E and certain PG&E shareholders submitted a joint plan of reorganization to the bankruptcy court. The plan includes the assumption by PG&E of all of its power purchase agreements. The plan is subject to, among other things: confirmation by the bankruptcy court by June 30, 2020 (or any extension of the date by which PG&E’s bankruptcy must be resolved for PG&E to participate in the insurance fund described below); approval by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) of PG&E’s implementation of the plan and participation in the insurance fund; PG&E obtaining funding for distributions under the plan; and the continuation in full force and effect of the September 2019 subrogation claims restructuring support agreement, the December 2019 tort claimants restructuring support agreement and the January 2020 noteholder restructuring support agreement. The plan is supported by the parties to these restructuring support agreements, subject to their terms, and includes the assumption by PG&E of all of its power purchase agreements. A plan of reorganization can be revoked, amended, withdrawn or pursuantdelayed prior to aits confirmation by the bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy court has authorized PG&E to send the plan to creditors for consideration, and the current deadline for creditors to return ballots is May 15, 2020. The hearing to consider confirmation of the plan is scheduled to commence later in May 2020.
In January and May 2019, FERC orderissued orders (which PG&E is challenging), the bankruptcy court and FERC. In a May 2019 order, FERC denied PG&E’s request for a rehearing of the January 2019 order and reaffirmed affirming its jurisdiction to review and approve the modification or abrogation of wholesale power contracts that are the subject of rejection in bankruptcy. In June 2019, the bankruptcy court ruled that FERC does not have concurrent jurisdiction with it and that FERC’s January and May 2019 orders are of no force and effect in the bankruptcy proceeding. FERC and additional parties, including Con Edison Development,the Clean Energy Businesses, are challenging the bankruptcy court’s June 2019 ruling. ruling in appeals that are pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
In July 2019, California enacted a law addressing future California wildfires. The law includes provisions for the establishment of wildfire liquidity and insurance funds and possible limitation of future wildfire liabilities for California utilities. PG&E, Southern California Edison Company and San Diego Gas & Electric Company have agreed to participate in the insurance fund. PG&E’s participation will require bankruptcy court approval and is conditioned on, among other things, resolution of PG&E’s bankruptcy by June 30, 2020, and a determination by the California Public Utilities CommissionCPUC that PG&E’s bankruptcy reorganization plan is consistent with the state’s climate goals as required under the California Renewables Portfolio Standard Program and related procurement requirements of the state.

In April 2020, the CPUC issued for public comment a proposed decision that would approve with conditions PG&E’s proposed reorganization plan under the aforementioned law. The proposed decision is expected to be on the CPUC’s May 21, 2020 voting meeting agenda.
The PG&E bankruptcy is an event of default under the PG&E PPAs. Unless the lenders for the related project debt otherwise agree, distributions from the related projects to Con Edison Developmentthe Clean Energy Businesses will not be made during the pendency of the bankruptcy. See “Reconciliation of Cash, Temporary Cash Investments and Restricted Cash,” below.
At June 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet included $853$802 million and $819 million of net non-utility plant relating to the PG&E Projects, $1,090$1,039 million and $1,057 million of intangible assets relating to the PG&E PPAs, $288$274 million and $282 million of net non-utility plant of additional projects that secure the related project debt and $1,032$980 million of

non-recourse related project debt.debt, respectively. See "Long-term Debt" in Note C. Con Edison has tested whether its net non-utility plant relating to the PG&E Projects and intangible assets relating to the PG&E PPAs have been impaired. The projected future cash flows used in the test reflected Con Edison’s expectation that the PG&E PPAs are not likely to be rejected. Based on the test, Con Edison has determined that there was no impairment. If, in the future, one or more of the PG&E PPAs is rejected or any such rejection becomes likely, there will be an impairment of the related intangible assets and could be an impairment of the related non-utility plant. The amount of any such impairment could be material.

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 and its common shares that are subject to a May 2019 forward sale agreement (see Note C). Before the issuance of common shares upon settlement of the forward sale agreement, the shares will be reflected in the company’s diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of common shares used in calculating diluted earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares that would be issued upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreement over the number of shares that could be purchased by the company in the market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds due upon physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period).price.

For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, basic and diluted EPS for Con Edison are calculated as follows:

Note B – Regulatory Matters
Rate PlansCOVID-19 Regulatory Matters
CECONY – ElectricGovernors, public utility commissions, federal authorities and other regulatory agencies in the states in which the Utilities operate have issued orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic that impact the Utilities as described below.
In May 2019, the
New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) staff submitted testimonyRegulation
In March 2020, New York State Governor Cuomo declared a State disaster emergency for the State of New York. Since that declaration, the NYSPSC and the Utilities have taken actions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities, their customers and other stakeholders. New York State has designated utilities, including CECONY and O&R, as essential businesses that may continue their work. The Utilities have modified or suspended certain work in the state.

In March 2020, the Utilities began suspending service disconnections, certain collection notices, final bill collection agency activity, new late payment charges and certain other fees for all customers. Historically, these fees have amounted to approximately $6 million and $0.4 million per month for CECONY and O&R, respectively. The suspension of these fees is expected to result in a reduction in revenues during the suspension period, the length of which has not yet been determined. The Utilities also began providing payment extensions for all customers that were scheduled to be disconnected prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. All customer walk-in centers have been closed to the public and in-person investigations of billing issues at customer residences and businesses have been suspended. In April 2020, the NYSPSC proceedingalso suspended certain interconnection payment deadlines to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on developers of distributed renewable generation and energy storage. See Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

In March 2020, the Utilities requested and the NYSPSC granted extensions until July 31, 2020 to file their 2019 Earnings Adjustment Mechanisms (EAMs) reports, which would delay the start of collection of earned EAM incentives of approximately $46 million and $3 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, from the twelve-month period beginning June 2020 until the twelve-month period beginning September 2020.

The Utilities’ rate plans have revenue decoupling mechanisms in which CECONY requested antheir New York electric and gas businesses that reconcile actual energy delivery revenues to the authorized delivery revenues approved by the NYSPSC on a monthly basis and accumulate the deferred balances semi-annually under CECONY's electric rate increase, effective January 2020.plan (January through June and July through December, respectively) and annually under CECONY's gas rate plan and O&R New York's electric and gas rate plans (January through December). The NYSPSC staff testimony supportsdifference is accrued with interest on a monthly basis for CECONY and O&R New York’s electric customers and after the annual deferral period ends for CECONY and O&R New York’s gas customers for refund to, or recovery from customers, as applicable. Generally, the refund to or recovery from customers begins August and February of each year over an ensuing six-month period for CECONY's electric rate increasecustomers and February of $58 million reflecting, among other things,each year over an 8.3 percent return on common equityensuing twelve-month period for CECONY's gas and a common equity ratio of 47.3 percent. In June 2019, CECONY filed an update to the request it filed in January 2019. The company decreased its requested January 2020 rate increase by $15 million to $470 million, increased its illustrated January 2021 rate increase by $27 million to $379 millionO&R New York's electric and increased its illustrated January 2022 rate increase by $7 million to $270 million.

In May 2019,March 2020, New Jersey Governor Murphy declared a Public Health Emergency and State of Emergency for the NYSPSC staff submitted testimonyState of New Jersey. Since that declaration, the NJBPU and RECO have taken actions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on RECO, its customers and other stakeholders. New Jersey has designated utilities, including RECO, as essential businesses that may continue their work. RECO has modified or suspended certain work in the NYSPSC proceeding in which CECONY requested a gas rate increase, effective January 2020.state. In March 2020, RECO began suspending late payment charges, terminations for non-payment, and no access fees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

O&R New York – ElectricStandards requirements that would have required action between March 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020. In addition, it suspended on-site NERC compliance audits until at least July 31, 2020.

Also in March 2020, FERC announced several actions to ease regulatory obligations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These include postponement of certain filing deadlines and the suspension of all audit site visits and investigative testimony.

In April 2020, FERC announced it would expeditiously review and act on requests for relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, give priority to processing filings that contribute to the business continuity of regulated entities’ energy infrastructure and will exercise prosecutorial discretion when addressing events arising during the emergency period. FERC also approved a blanket waiver of requirements in Open Access Transmission Tariffs that require entities to hold meetings in-person and to provide or obtain notarized documents.

Gas Safety
In March 2019,2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a notice staying enforcement of certain federal operator qualification, control room management and drug testing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic. The notice also announced that PHMSA would exercise discretion in its overall enforcement of other parts of the pipeline safety regulations. The NYSPSC also provided guidance that it was staying enforcement of many of the same pipeline safety requirements identified in the March 2020 PHMSA notice.

In April 2020, the NYSPSC approvedissued an order that extended the November 2018 joint proposal for new electricdeadlines to complete certain gas inspections by all New York gas utilities, including CECONY and gas rates. The joint proposal provides for electric rate increases of $13.4 million, $8.0 million and $5.8 million, effective January 1, 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The joint proposal provides for a gas rate decrease of $7.5 million, effective January 1, 2019, and gas rate increases of $3.6 million and $0.7 million, effective JanuaryO&R, from April 1, 2020 and 2021.

Rockland Electric Company (RECO)
In May 2019, RECO filed a request with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities for an electric rate increase of $19.9 million, effective Februaryto August 1, 2020. The filing reflected a return on common equity of 10.00 percent and a common equity ratio of 49.93 percent. In July 2019, RECO filed an update to the request it filed in May 2019. The company increased its requested February 2020 rate increase to $20.4 million and reduced the common equity ratio to 49.04 percent. The updated filing continues to reflect a return on common equity of 10.00 percent.

Other Regulatory Matters
In August and November 2017, the NYSPSC issued orders in its proceeding investigating an April 21, 2017 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway power outage. The orders indicated that the investigation determined that the outage was caused by a failure of CECONY’s electricity supply to a subway station, which led to a loss of the subway signals, and that one of the secondary services to the MTA facility had been improperly rerouted and was not properly documented by the company. The orders also indicated that the loss of power to the subway station affected multiple subway lines and caused widespread delays across the subway system. Pursuant to the orders, the company was required to take certain actions, including inspecting, repairing and installing certain electrical equipment that serves the subway system, analyzing power supply and power quality events affecting the MTA’s signaling services, and filing monthly reports with the NYSPSC on all of the company's activities related to the subway system. The company completed the required actions in 2018. Through June 30, 2019, the company incurred costs related to this matter of $273 million. Included in this amount is $32 million in capital and operating and maintenance costs reflected in the company's electric rate plan and $241 million deferred as a regulatory asset that the company is seeking to recover in its pending electric rate proceeding. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to this matter. At June 30, 2019, the company had not accrued a liability related to this matter.

In August 2018, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to begin on January 1, 2019 to credit the company's electric and gas customers, and to begin on October 1, 2018 to credit its steam customers, with the net benefits of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) as measured based on amounts reflected in its rate plans prior to the enactment of the TCJA in December 2017. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes.
CECONY, estimates that its credit of net benefits of the TCJA tounder its electric gas and steam customersrate plan that was approved in 2019 will amount to $259 million, $113 million and $25 million, respectively. CECONY’sJanuary 2020, is amortizing its TCJA net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 allocable to the company’sits electric customers ($311377 million) areover a three-year period, the “protected” portion of its net regulatory liability for future income taxes related to be deferredcertain accelerated tax depreciation benefits allocable to its electric customers ($1,663 million) over the remaining lives of the related assets and addressedthe remainder, or “unprotected” portion of the net regulatory liability allocable to its electric customers ($784 million) over a five-year period.

CECONY’s net regulatory liability for future income taxes, including both the protected and unprotected portions, allocable to the company’s electric customers ($2,489 million) is to continue to be deferred and addressed in its pending electric rate proceeding and the amounts allocable to its gas and steam customers ($804 million and $185 million, respectively) are to be185 million) is being amortized over the remaining lives of the related assets (with the amortization period for the unprotected portion subject to review in its pending gas rate proceeding and next steam rate proceeding).

O&R, under its current electric and gas rate plans, has reflected its TCJA net benefits in its electric and gas rates beginning as of January 1, 2019. Under the rate plans, O&R is amortizing its net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 ($22 million) over a three-year period, the protected portion of its net regulatory liability for future income taxes ($123 million) over the remaining lives of the related assets and the unprotected portion ($30 million) over a fifteen-year period.

In January 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order initiating a focused operations audit of the income tax accounting of certain utilities, including CECONY and O&R. The Utilities are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss related to this matter. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Utilities had not accrued a liability related to this matter.

In March 2018, Winter Storms Riley and Quinn caused damage to the Utilities’ electric distribution systems and interrupted service to approximately 209,000 CECONY customers, 93,000 O&R customers and 44,000 RECO customers. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, CECONY's costs related to March 2018 storms, including Riley and Quinn, amounted to $134 million, including operation and maintenance expenses reflected in its electric rate plan ($15 million), operation and maintenance expenses charged against a storm reserve pursuant to its electric rate plan ($84 million), capital expenditures ($29 million) and removal costs ($6 million). At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, O&R and RECO costs related to 2018 storms amounted to $43 million and $17 million, respectively, most of which were deferred as

regulatory assets pursuant to their electric rate plans. In January 2019, O&R began recovering its deferred storm costs over a six yearsix-year period in accordance with its New York electric rate plan. In February 2020, RECO began recovering its deferred storm costs over a four-year period in accordance with its New Jersey electric rate plan. The NYSPSC investigated the preparation and response to the storms by CECONY, O&R, and other New York electric utilities, including all aspects of their emergency response plans. In April 2019, following the issuance of a NYSPSC staff report on the investigation, the NYSPSC ordered the utilities to show cause why the NYSPSC should not commence a penalty action against them for violating their emergency response plans. The Utilities are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss related to this matter. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Utilities had not accrued a liability related to this matter.

In May 2018, FERC denied a complaint the NJBPU filed with FERC seeking the re-allocation to CECONY of certain PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM) transmission costs that had been allocated to the company prior to April 2017 when transmission service provided to the company pursuant to the PJM open access transmission tariff terminated. The transmission service terminated because the company did not exercise its option to continue the service following a series of requests PJM had submitted to FERC that substantially increased the charges for the transmission service. CECONY challenged each of these requests. FERC rejected all but one of CECONY’s protests. In June 2015 and May 2016, CECONY filed appeals of certain FERC decisions with the U.S. Court of Appeals. In July 2018, FERC established a settlement proceeding relating to the allocation of PJM transmission costs. Under CECONY’s electric rate plan, unless and until changed by the NYSPSC, the company will recover all charges incurred associated with the transmission service.

In July 2018, the NYSPSC commenced an investigation into the rupture of a CECONY steam main (see Note H).located on Fifth Avenue and 21st Street in Manhattan. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of buildings and streets for various periods. The NYSPSC has commenced an investigation. As of March 31, 2020, with respect to the incident, the company incurred operating costs of $17 million for property damage, clean-up and other response costs and invested $9 million in capital and retirement costs. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to the incident. At March 31, 2020, the company had not accrued a liability related to the incident.

In March 2019, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to show cause why the NYSPSC should not commence a penalty action and prudence proceeding against CECONY for alleged violations of gas operator qualification, performance, and inspection requirements. The company is seeking to resolve this matter through settlement negotiations with the NYSPSC staff. Any settlement would be subject to NYSPSC approval. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to this matter. At June 30, December 31, 2019, the company had notan accrued aregulatory liability related to this matter of $10 million, and at March 31, 2020, the company accrued an additional regulatory liability of $5 million. In April 2020, the NYSPSC approved a $15 million settlement agreement for the benefit of CECONY’s gas customers between CECONY and NYSPSC staff related to this matter.

On July 13, 2019, electric service was interrupted to approximately 72,000 CECONY customers on the west side of Manhattan. The NYSPSC and the Northeast Power Coordinating Council, a regional reliability entity, are investigating the July 13, 2019 power outage. The NYSPSC is also investigating other CECONY power outages that occurred in July 2019. Pursuant to the major outage reliability performance provisions of its electric rate plan, as a result of the July 13, 2019 power outage, the company is subject torecorded a $5 million negative revenue adjustment (which it expects to recognizeadjustment. The NYSPSC is also investigating other CECONY power outages that occurred in July 2019, primarily in the third quarterFlatbush area of 2019).Brooklyn. Primarily due to these outages, pursuant to the rate plan’s annual non-network outage frequency and non-network outage duration reliability performance provisions, the company recorded a $10 million negative revenue adjustment at December 31, 2019. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible additional loss related to the power outages. At June 30, 2019, the company had not accrued a liability related to thethese power outages.

Note C – Capitalization
In February 2019, Con Edison borrowed $825 million under a two-year variable-rate term loan to fund the repayment of a 6-month variable-rate term loan. In June 2019, Con Edison pre-paid $150 million of the amount borrowed.

In March 2019,January 2020, Con Edison issued 5,649,3691,050,000 shares of its common stock for $425$88 million upon physical settlement of the remaining shares subject to its November 2018May 2019 forward sale agreements.agreement.

In May 2019, Con Edison entered into a forward sale agreement relating to 5,800,000 shares of its common stock. In June 2019, the company issued 4,750,000 shares for $400 million upon physical settlement of shares subject to the forward sale agreement. At June 30, 2019, 1,050,000 shares remain subject to the forward sale agreement. The company expects the remaining shares under the forward sale agreement to settle by December 28, 2020. The company or the forward purchaser may accelerate the forward sale agreement upon the occurrence of certain events. On a settlement date, if the company decides to physically settle, it will issue shares to the forward purchaser at the then-applicable forward sale price. The forward sale price is equal to $84.83 per share subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor less a spread and will be subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends. The remaining shares under the forward sale agreement will be physically settled, unless the company elects cash or net share settlement (which it has the right to do, subject to certain conditions, other than in limited circumstances). In the event the company elects to cash settle or net share settle, the settlement amount will be generally related to (1)(a) the market value of the common stock during the unwind period under the forward sale agreement minus (b) the applicable forward sale price; multiplied by (2) the number of shares subject to such cash settlement or net share settlement. If this settlement amount is a negative number, the forward purchaser will pay the company the absolute value of that amount or deliver to the company a number of shares having a value equal to the absolute value of such amount. If this settlement amount is a positive number, the company will pay the forward purchaser that amount or deliver to the forward purchaser a number of shares having a value equal to such amount.
In May 2019,March 2020, CECONY issued $700$600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.1253.35 percent debentures, due 2049. In April 2019, CECONY redeemed at maturity $4752030 and $1,000 million of 6.65 percent 10-year debentures.

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


29

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 were as follows:
        Con Edison        CECONY        Con Edison        CECONY

Regulatory assets$787$810$696$716$735$732$652$647

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 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 for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Insurance and other third-party recoveries received by Con Edison or CECONY were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018.2019.
In 2018,2019, 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 $2.8 billion and $2.6 billion, 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, which 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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, Con Edison and CECONY have accrued their estimated aggregate undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years as shown in the following table. These estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Courts have begun, and unless otherwise determined on appeal 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.

Note H – Other Material Contingencies
Manhattan Explosion and Fire
On March 12, 2014, two2 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. EightNaN 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 the company, 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 the company 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, which caused it to sag and overstressed the defective fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to the company 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 the company related to the NYSPSC's investigations of the incident and the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions. Pursuant to the agreement, the company is providing $27$27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it has accrued a regulatory liability) and will not recover from customers $126 million of costs for gas emergency response activities that it had previously incurred and expensed. Approximately eighty80 suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified damages and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’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. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss for damages related to the incident. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the company had not accrued a liability for damages related to the incident.

Manhattan Steam Main Rupture
In July 2018, a CECONY steam main located on Fifth Avenue and 21st Street in Manhattan ruptured. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of buildings and streets for various periods. The NYSPSC has commenced an investigation. As of June 30, 2019, with respect to the incident, the company incurred estimated operating costs of $16 million for property damage, clean- up and other response costs and invested $10 million in capital and retirement costs. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies currently in force will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages to others in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to the incident. At June 30, 2019, the company had not accrued a liability related to the incident.

Note I – Leases
In January 2019, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” including the amendments thereto, using a modified retrospective transition method of adoption that required no prior period adjustments or charges to retained earnings for cumulative impact. The standard supersedes the lease requirements within ASC Topic 840, “Leases.”

The Companies lease land, office buildings, equipment and access rights to support electric transmission facilities. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Companies recognized 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 are included in operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liabilities on the Companies’ consolidated balance sheets. 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 recovered from our customers and to account the same way for finance leases. Lessor accounting is similar to the previous model, but updated to align with ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers."

The Companies elected the following practical expedients: (1) a package of practical expedients that allows the Companies to not reassess: (a) whether expired or existing contracts contained leases; (b) the lease classification for expired or existing leases and (c) the initial direct costs for existing leases; (2) for all underlying asset classes, an expedient that allows the Companies to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases and an expedient that allows the Companies to account for lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component; (3) an expedient that allows the use of hindsight to determine lease term; and (4) an expedient that allows the Companies to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840.

The Companies, upon adoption of Topic 842 recognized, and for new operating leases at commencement date 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. 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 35 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 may 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.

Operating lease cost and cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

The Companies are lessors under certain leases whereby the Companies own real estate and distribution poles and lease portions of them to others. Revenue under such leases was immaterial for Con Edison and CECONY for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Note J – Income Tax
In response to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides relief to corporate taxpayers by permitting a five-year carryback of net operating losses (NOLs) for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, removing the 80 percent limitation when applying the NOLs to carryback years, increasing the 30 percent limitation on interest deductibility to 50 percent of adjusted taxable income for tax years 2019 and 2020, and provides for certain employment tax credits and refunds for eligible employers.

Under the CARES Act, Con Edison will carryback its $29 million NOL from tax year 2018 to tax year 2013 generating a $2.5 million net tax refund for which a tax receivable was established at March 31, 2020. In addition, Con Edison recognized a discrete income tax benefit of $4 million in the first quarter of 2020, due to the higher federal statutory tax rate in 2013. The 2018 federal NOL was recorded at 21 percent and will be carried back to tax year 2013, which had a 35 percent federal statutory tax rate. This tax benefit was primarily recognized at the Clean Energy Businesses.

Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $19$55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from $38$108 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to lower income before income tax expense (excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interest (see Note N)O)), lower state income taxes, an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to CECONY’s new rate plan beginning in the TCJAfirst quarter of 2020, and higher renewable energy credits, offset in part by an increase in uncertaina $4 million income tax positions.benefit due to the ability to carryback a net operating loss (NOL) from the 2018 tax year to the 2013 tax year as allowed under the CARES Act.

CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $27$95 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 from $31$124 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to lower state income taxes, higherbefore income tax benefits in 2019 for plant-related flow through items,expense and an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to CECONY’s new rate plan beginning in the TCJA.first quarter of 2020, offset, in part, by higher state income taxes.

Reconciliation of the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the prevailing statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $127 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $156 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in income tax expense is primarily due to lower income before income tax expense (excluding income attributable to noncontrolling interest (see Note N)), lower state income taxes, an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA and higher renewable energy credits.

CECONY’s income tax expense increased to $151 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $150 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in income tax expense is primarily due to higher income before income tax expense, offset in part by higher tax benefits in 2019 for plant-related flow through items, an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA, a decrease in non-deductible business expenses and an increase in research and development credits.

CECONY and O&R deferred as regulatory liabilities theirits estimated net benefits under the TCJA for the six months ended June 30, 2018. CECONY's net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 for its electric service and amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes for its electric service for the six months ended June 30, 2019 continue to be deferred. RECO deferred as a regulatory liability its estimated net benefits under the TCJA for the three months ended March 31, 2018.2019. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes the utilities collected from customers that will not need to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service under the TCJA. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B.

Under CECONY’s new electric rate plan that began in the first quarter of 2020, the deferral of its net benefits for its electric service ceased and is included in its new rates. Additionally, the amortization of the unprotected excess deferred federal income taxes for its electric and gas services is being amortized over a five-year period, which increased the tax benefit in the first quarter of 2020.

Uncertain Tax Positions
At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $8$13 million ($53 million for CECONY). Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve within the next twelve months approximately $3$10 million of various federal and state uncertainties due to the expected completion of ongoing tax examinations, of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con Edison's effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately $2$1 million, which, if recognized, would reduce CECONY’s effective tax rate. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $8$13 million ($712 million, net of federal taxes). with $3 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 the three and six months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of interest expense orand penalties for uncertain tax positions in their consolidated income statements. At June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets.

Note K – Revenue Recognition

(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, $1 million was included in the balances as of January 1, 2020 and 2019.

As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the remaining fixed performance obligations of the Clean Energy Businesses under contracts with customers for energy services is $74 million, of which $38 million will be recognized within the next two years, and the remaining $36 million will be recognized pursuant to long-term service and maintenance agreements.

In March 2020, the Utilities began suspending new late payment charges and certain other fees for all customers. The amount of these charges that was not collected for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $3 million for Con Edison and CECONY. The Utilities also began providing payment extensions for all customers that were scheduled to be disconnected prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B.

Note LM – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Utilities and the Clean Energy BusinessesCon 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 and the Clean Energy Business do not elect hedge accounting. The Clean Energy Businesses use interest rate swaps to manage the risks associated with interest rates related to outstanding and expected future debt issuances and borrowings. Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note M)N), 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.

In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for derivatives and hedging through ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The amendments in this update provide greater clarification on hedge accounting for risk components, presentation and disclosure of hedging instruments, and overall targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. The amendments were effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The application of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity because the Companies do not elect hedge accounting for their derivative instruments and hedging activities.

(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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, margin deposits for Con Edison ($68 million and $7$9 million, respectively) and CECONY ($67 million and $6$8 million, respectively) were classified as derivative assets 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.
(c)
Includes amounts for interest rate swaps of $(5) $(17) million in current liabilities and $(32)$(109) million in noncurrent liabilities. At June 30, 2019March 31, 2020, the Clean Energy Businesses had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $829$910 million. The expiration dates of the swaps range from 2024-2041.
(d)Includes amounts for interest rate swaps of $2$1 million in noncurrent assets, $(7) million in current liabilities and $(6)$(34) million in noncurrent liabilities. At December 31, 20182019, the Clean Energy BusinessBusinesses had interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $499$919 million. The expiration dates of the swaps range from 2024-2035.2024-2041.

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 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.

The Clean Energy Businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in purchased power, gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the reporting period in which they occur. The

Clean Energy Businesses record 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.

The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. 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.
At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, Con Edison and CECONY had $128$120 million and $7 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 $55$47 million with independent system operators, $36 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties, $34 million with independent system operators, $29$28 million with investment-grade counterparties and $10$9 million with commodity exchange brokers. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $6$7 million with commodity exchange brokers and $1 millionan immaterial amount with investment-gradenon-investment-grade counterparties.
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.

(a)Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which 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 and the Clean Energy Businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post an immaterial amount of additional collateral at June 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. 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 June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $15$32 million.

Note MN – 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, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or


40

Table of Contents

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, which 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 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.

(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 no transfers between levels 1, 2, and 3 during the sixthree months ended JuneMarch 31, 2020. Con Edison and CECONY had $24 million and $22 million of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2019 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, 2019 to less than three years as of December 31, 2019. Con

Edison and CECONY had $2 million of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2018 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, 2018 to less than three years as of December 31, 2018.
(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, 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 June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations.
(d)Other assets are comprised of assets such as life insurance contracts within the deferred compensation plan and non-qualified retirement plans.
(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.

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 and interest rate swaps. Under the Companies’ policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to value commodity derivatives and interest rate swaps. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives and interest rate swaps are reported on a monthly basis to the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy hedging at the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. The risk management group reports to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.

Note NO – 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 2018,2019, 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. The payments for this contract constitute CECONY’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential VIE.

Con Edison has a variableIn September 2019, the Clean Energy Businesses, which previously owned an 80 percent membership interest in OCI Solar San Antonio 4 LLC (Texas Solar 4), whichacquired the remaining 20 percent interest. As a result of the acquisition, Texas Solar 4 is a consolidated entityentity. Prior to the acquisition, Con Edison had a variable interest in Texas Solar 4, as to which Con Edison Development has an 80 percent membership interest. Con Edison iswas the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of Texas Solar 4 iswas held by a Con Edison Development subsidiary.the Clean Energy Businesses. Texas Solar 4 owns a project company that developed a 40 MW (AC) solar electric production project. Electricity generated by the project is sold pursuant to a long-term power purchase agreement. Con Edison's earnings from Texas Solar 4 for the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 were immaterial.

In December 2018, a Con Edison Development subsidiarythe 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. The Tax Equity Projects are consolidated entities in which Con Edison has less than a 100 percent membership interest. Con Edison is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the Tax Equity Projects is held by Con Edison Development subsidiaries.the Clean Energy Businesses. Electricity generated by the Tax Equity Projects is sold to utilities and municipalities pursuant to long-term power purchase agreements. For the three months ended June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) method of accounting for the Tax Equity Projects resulted in $28$17 million of income ($2113 million, after tax) for the tax equity investor and a $15$14 million loss ($1210 million, after tax) for Con Edison. For the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019, the HLBV method of accounting for the Tax Equity Projects resulted in $49$21 million of income ($3716 million, after-tax)after tax) for the tax equity investor and a $34$19 million loss ($2614 million, after-tax)after tax) for 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 change in the liquidation value allocable to the tax equity investors.

At June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet included the following amounts associated with its VIEs:

Note O – New Financial Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for recognition of credit losses for financial instruments through ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments replace the incurred loss impairment methodology which involved delayed recognition of credit losses. The amendments introduce an expected credit loss impairment model which requires immediate recognition of anticipated losses over the instrument’s life. A broader range of reasonable and supportable information must be considered in developing the credit loss estimates. The Companies' financial instruments that would be subject to the amendments include their accounts receivable - customers and other receivables. For public entities, the amendments are effective, and the Companies plan to adopt the amendments, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companies’ liquidity. The Companies are continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the amendments on the Companies’ results of operations and financial position.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts
The Companies are responding to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic by taking steps to mitigate the potential risks posed to employees, customers and other stakeholders by its spread. The Companies have mobilized a pandemic planning team and an incident command system structure. The Companies have taken precautions with regard to employee and facility hygiene, such as performing a temperature check on employees arriving at critical locations, cleaning and disinfecting all work and common areas, separating crews into multiple vehicles, promoting social distancing, imposing travel limitations on employees and directing employees to work remotely whenever possible. Employees who test positive for COVID-19 remain home from work and are closely evaluated to determine if any other employees may have had close, prolonged contact that would require other employees to quarantine at home and, following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, sick or quarantined employees return to work when they can safely do so. In addition, critical operators of the bulk power system have been sequestered in order to limit their exposure to COVID-19. The Utilities have continued to provide critical electric, gas and steam service to customers during the pandemic, and additional protocols have been implemented for required work at customer premises to protect employees, customers and the public.

Below is additional information related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Companies’ actions.

New York State Regulation
In March 2020, New York State Governor Cuomo declared a State disaster emergency for the State of New York. Since that declaration, the NYSPSC and the Utilities have taken actions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Utilities, their customers and other stakeholders. New York State has designated utilities, including CECONY and O&R, as essential businesses that may continue their work. The Utilities have modified or suspended certain work in the state. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

In March 2020, the Utilities began suspending service disconnections, certain collection notices, final bill collection agency activity, new late payment charges and certain other fees for all customers. Historically, these fees have amounted to approximately $6 million and $0.4 million per month for CECONY and O&R, respectively. The suspension of these fees is expected to result in a reduction in revenues during the suspension period, the length of which has not yet been determined. The Utilities also began providing payment extensions for all customers that were scheduled to be disconnected prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. All customer walk-in centers have been closed to the public and in-person investigations of billing issues at customer residences and businesses have been suspended. In April 2020, the NYSPSC also suspended certain interconnection payment deadlines to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on developers of distributed renewable generation and energy storage. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Also in March 2020, the Utilities requested and the NYSPSC granted extensions until July 31, 2020 to file their 2019 Earnings Adjustment Mechanisms (EAMs) reports, which would delay the start of collection of earned EAM incentives of approximately $46 million and $3 million for CECONY and O&R, respectively, from the twelve-month period beginning June 2020 until the twelve-month period beginning September 2020. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

The Utilities’ rate plans have revenue decoupling mechanisms in their New York electric and gas businesses that reconcile actual energy delivery revenues to the authorized delivery revenues approved by the NYSPSC. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements and “Liquidity and Financing,” below.

New Jersey State Regulation
In March 2020, New Jersey Governor Murphy declared a Public Health Emergency and State of Emergency for the State of New Jersey. Since that declaration, the NJBPU and RECO have taken actions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on RECO, its customers and other stakeholders. New Jersey has designated utilities, including RECO, as essential businesses that may continue their work. RECO has modified or suspended certain work in the state. RECO has also suspended late payment charges, terminations for non-payment, and no access fees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The suspension of these fees is not expected to be material. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B and Note K to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Federal Regulation
In March 2020, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) issued guidance that the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will be considered an acceptable basis for non-compliance with certain NERC Reliability Standards requirements that would have required action between March 1, 2020 and July 31, 2020. In addition, it suspended on-site NERC compliance audits until at least July 31, 2020.

Also in March 2020, FERC announced several actions to ease regulatory obligations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These include postponement of certain filing deadlines and the suspension of all audit site visits and investigative testimony.

In April 2020, FERC announced it would expeditiously review and act on requests for relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, give priority to processing filings that contribute to the business continuity of regulated entities’ energy infrastructure and will exercise prosecutorial discretion when addressing events arising during the emergency period. FERC also approved a blanket waiver of requirements in Open Access Transmission Tariffs that require entities to hold meetings in-person and to provide or obtain notarized documents. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B” to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Gas Safety
In March 2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) issued a notice staying enforcement of certain federal operator qualification, control room management and drug testing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic. The notice also announced that PHMSA would exercise discretion in its overall enforcement of other parts of the pipeline safety regulations. The NYSPSC also provided guidance that it was staying enforcement of many of the same pipeline safety requirements identified in the March 2020 PHMSA notice.

In April 2020, the NYSPSC issued an order that extended the deadlines to complete certain gas inspections by all New York gas utilities, including CECONY and O&R, from April 1, 2020 to August 1, 2020. See "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

In response to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act became law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act has several key business tax relief measures that may present potential cash benefits and/or refund opportunities for Con Edison and its subsidiaries, including permitting a five-year carryback of a net operating loss (NOL) for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, temporary removal of the 80 percent limitation of NOL carryforwards against taxable income for tax years before 2021, temporary relaxation of the limitations on interest deductions, employee retention tax credits and defer payments of employer payroll taxes.

Con Edison will carryback its NOL of $29 million from 2018 back to 2013. This will allow Con Edison, mostly at the Clean Energy Businesses, to receive a $2.5 million cash refund and to recognize an income tax benefit of $4 million in March 2020, due to the higher federal tax rate in 2013. See Note J to the First Quarter Financial Statements. Con Edison and its subsidiaries are not expecting to have a federal NOL in tax years 2019 or 2020.

Con Edison and its subsidiaries expect to benefit by the increase in the percentage for calculating the limitation on the interest expense deduction from 30 percent of Adjusted Taxable Income (ATI) to 50 percent of ATI in 2019 and 2020, which may allow the Companies to deduct 100 percent of interest expense.

The Companies qualify for an employee retention tax credit created under the CARES Act for "eligible employers" related to a portion of its workforce that cannot perform their regular jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic but that the Companies continue to pay.

The CARES Act also allows employers to defer payments of the employer share of Social Security payroll taxes that would have otherwise been owed from March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. The Companies intend to defer the payment of employer payroll taxes for the period April 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 of approximately $73 million ($65 million of which is for CECONY). The Companies will repay one-half of this liability by December 31, 2021 and the other half by December 31, 2022.

Supply Chain Matters
The Utilities maintain regular communications with their supply base to minimize any potential impact to their supply chain from the COVID-19 pandemic. They have been pursuing alternatives with vendors, engaging additional vendors for newly identified supply needs, and are considering ordering additional critical supplies that may become scarce based on demand or if manufacturing facilities decrease operations.

The Clean Energy Businesses have appropriate assets available to them and currently do not anticipate constraints in completing and placing into service wind and solar projects currently under construction.

Cybersecurity
In April 2020, the United States Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a joint alert with another agency stating that there has been a growing use of COVID-19 related themes by malicious cyber actors and the surge in teleworking has increased the use of potentially vulnerable services, amplifying the threat to individuals and organizations. The Companies, their contractors and vendors have experienced cyber threats, but none have had a material impact on the Companies. The Companies continue to closely monitor cybersecurity threats.

Accounting Considerations
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, both commercial and residential customers may have increased difficulty paying their utility bills, as a result of, among other factors, a decline in business, bankruptcies, layoffs and furloughs. CECONY and O&R have existing allowances for uncollectible accounts established against their customer accounts receivable balances which are reevaluated on a quarterly basis and updated accordingly. Changes to the Utilities’ reserve balances which result in write-offs of customer accounts receivable balances are not reflected in rates during the term of the current rate plans and will be addressed during a future rate proceeding. During the first quarter of 2020, the potential economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was also considered in forward looking projections related to write-off and recovery rates, resulting in increases to the allowance for uncollectible accounts as detailed herein. CECONY’s and O&R’s allowances for uncollectible accounts reserve increased from $65 million and $4.6 million at December 31, 2019 to $70 million and $4.8 million at March 31, 2020, respectively. See Note A to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

The Companies test goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever there is a triggering event, and 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 Companies identified no triggering events or changes in circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would indicate that the carrying value of long-lived or intangible assets may not be recoverable at March 31, 2020. See Note A to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Financing
The Companies continue to closely monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial markets including borrowing rates and daily cash collections. The Companies have been able to issue commercial paper as needed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. See Note D to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

In addition, the decline in business activity in the Utilities’ service territory as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in lower billed sales revenues. The Utilities’ rate plans have revenue decoupling mechanisms in their New York electric and gas businesses that reconcile actual energy delivery revenues to the authorized delivery revenues approved by the NYSPSC on a monthly basis and accumulate the deferred balances semi-annually under CECONY's electric rate plan (January through June and July through December, respectively) and annually under CECONY's gas rate plan and O&R New York's electric and gas rate plans (January through December). The difference is accrued with interest on a monthly basis for CECONY and O&R New York’s electric customers and after the annual deferral period ends for CECONY and O&R New York’s gas customers for refund to, or recovery from customers, as applicable. Generally, the refund to or recovery from customers begins August and February of each year over an ensuing six-month period for CECONY's electric customers and February of each year over an ensuing twelve-month period for CECONY's gas and O&R New York's electric and gas customers. Although these revenue decoupling mechanisms are in place, lower billed sales revenues and higher uncollectible accounts could impact liquidity at the Utilities. See Note A to the First Quarter Financial Statements and "COVID-19 Regulatory Matters" in Note B to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

In April 2020, in order to prepare for any potential limitations on access to external capital resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Con Edison entered into a $750 million credit agreement (the Supplemental Credit Agreement) under which banks are committed to provide loans, on a revolving credit basis until July 2, 2020, with an option, subject to certain conditions, for Con Edison to convert all loans outstanding on July 2, 2020 into a 270-day term loan. Con Edison has not entered into any loans under the Supplemental Credit Agreement. See Note D to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison and the Utilities also have a $2,250 million credit agreement (Credit Agreement) in place under which banks are committed to provide loans on a revolving credit basis until December 2023 ($2,200 million of commitments from December 2022). Con Edison and the Utilities have not entered into any loans under the Credit Agreement. See Note D to the First Quarter Financial Statements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The Utilities’ cash flows from operating activities reflect primarily their energy sales and deliveries and cost of operations. The volume of energy sales and deliveries is affected primarily by factors external to the Utilities, such as growth of 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. In addition, the decline in business activity in the Utilities’ service territory as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in lower billed sales revenues. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans, changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved may affect the timing of cash flows, but generally not net income. The prices at which the Utilities provide energy to their customers are determined in accordance with their rate plans. In general, changes in the Utilities’ cost of purchased power, fuel and gas may affect the timing of cash flows, but not net income, because the costs are recovered in accordance with rate plans. 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. See “COVID-19 Regulatory Matters” and “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B to the SecondFirst Quarter Financial Statements.Statements and “Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Impacts - Liquidity and Financing,” above.

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.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 for Con Edison and CECONY were $498$52 million and $636$55 million higher,lower, respectively, than in the 20182019 period. The changes in net cash flows for Con Edison and CECONY reflect primarily a change in the timing of pension and retiree benefit contributionsobligations ($29089 million and $290$84 million, respectively), and lower storm restoration costsaccounts payables ($19148 million and $125$40 million, respectively), related primarily to lower MTA power reliability costs ($88 million and $88 million, respectively), reimbursement received for Puerto Rico related restoration costs ($95 million and $95 million, respectively), and for CECONY, lower net payments of income tax to affiliated companies ($247 million),utility construction expenditures, offset, in part, by higherlower TCJA net benefits provided to customers in the 20192020 period ($19266 million and $190$66 million, respectively).

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 and recoverable and refundable energy costs within other regulatory assets and liabilities and accounts payable balances.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $10$80 million higher and $36 million lower,higher, respectively, for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared with the 20182019 period. The change for Con Edison reflects primarily increases in investments in electric and gas transmission projects at Con Edison Transmission ($37 million), cost of removal less salvage at CECONY ($20 million) and an increase in utilitynon-utility construction expenditures at O&Rthe Clean Energy Businesses ($1982 million), offset, in part, by and the proceeds from the sale of a property formerly used by CECONY in its operations ($in 2019 ($48 million)million), a decreaseoffset, in non-utility construction expenditurespart, by lower investments in electric and gas transmission projects at Con Edison Transmission in the Clean Energy Businesses ($17 million)2020 period ($30 million) and a decrease in utility construction expenditures at CECONY ($($9 million) and O&R ($8 million)million).

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash flows from financing activities for Con Edison and CECONY were $601$1,021 million and $803$927 million lower,higher, respectively, in the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared with the 20182019 period.

CECONY
Current assets at June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were $214$763 million lowerhigher than at December 31, 2018.2019. The change in current assets reflects primarily decreasesan increase in customerprepayments due primarily to the January 2020 payment of the New York City semi-annual property taxes, offset, in part, by three months of amortization, while the December 2019 balance reflects the full amortization of the previous semi-annual payment made in July 2019 ($473 million). The change also reflects an increase in cash and temporary cash investments ($370 million) and accounts receivables, less allowance for uncollectible accounts ($14773 million), other receivables ($122 million) and accounts receivable from affiliated companies ($83 million). These increases are offset, in part, by an increase in the revenue decoupling mechanism receivable ($127 million).

Environmental Matters
In May 2019, New York City enacted a law designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from large buildings 40 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. Building owners may achieve compliance through operational changes, building retrofits, the purchase of greenhouse gas offsets, the purchase of renewable energy credits and the use of clean distributed energy resources.

In June 2019, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced its Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule in conjunction with the repeal of its Clean Power Plan. The ACE rule is focused primarily on coal-fired power plants and is unlikely to impact the Companies' operations.

In July 2019, New York State enacted a law that establishes a program requiring 70 percent of the electricity procured by load serving entities regulated by the NYSPSC to be produced by renewable energy systems by 2030, and requiring the statewide electrical demand system to have zero emissions by 2040. The law also codifies state targets for energy efficiency (end-use energy savings of 185 trillion British thermal units below 2025 energy-use forecast), offshore wind (9,000 megawatts (MW) by 2035), solar (6,000 MW by 2025) and energy storage (3,000 MW by 2030). In addition, the law establishes a climate action council to recommend measures to attain the law’s GHG limits, including measures to reduce emissions by displacing fossil-fuel fired electricity with renewable electricity or energy efficiency. The law requires the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to issue regulations establishing statewide GHG emissions limits that are 60 percent of 1990 emissions levels by 2030 and 15 percent of 1990 emissions by 2050.

Con Edison Transmission
CET Electric
In April 2019, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) selected a transmission project that was jointly proposed by National Grid and NY Transco ($600 million estimated cost, excluding certain interconnection costs that are not yet determined) that would increase transmission capacity by 1,850 MW between upstate and downstate when combined with another developer’s project that was also selected by the NYISO. The siting, construction and operation of the projects will require approvals and permits from appropriate governmental agencies and authorities, including the NYSPSC. The NYISO indicated it will work with the developers to enter into agreements for the development and operation of the projects, including a schedule for entry into service by December 2023.

CET Gas 
In June 2019, the operator of the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which is being constructed by a joint venture in which CET Gas has a 12.5 percent ownership interest, indicated that it now expects a mid-2020 full in-service date for the project at an overall project cost of $4,800 million to $5,000 million, excluding allowance for funds used during construction.

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 relates primarily to variable rate debt and to new debt financing needed to fund capital requirements, including the construction expenditures of the Utilities and maturing debt securities.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. The Clean Energy Businesses also use interest rate swaps.swaps to exchange variable-rate project financed debt for a fixed interest rate. See Note LM to the SecondFirst Quarter Financial Statements. Con Edison and CECONY estimate that at June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, a 10 percent increase in interest rates applicable to its variable rate debt would result in an increase in annual interest expense of $8 million and $5 million, respectively. Under CECONY’s current electric, gas and

Table of Contents

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.

Commodity Price Risk
Con Edison’s commodity price risk relates primarily to the purchase and sale of electricity, gas and related derivative instruments. The Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses apply risk management strategies to mitigate their related exposures. See Note LM to the SecondFirst Quarter Financial Statements.

Con Edison estimates that, as of June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, a 10 percent decline in market prices would result in a decline in fair value of $62$71 million for the derivative instruments used by the Utilities to hedge purchases of electricity and gas, of which $57$67 million is for CECONY and $5$4 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. In accordance with provisions approved by state regulators, the Utilities generally recover from customers the costs they incur for energy purchased for their customers, including gains and losses on certain derivative instruments used to hedge energy purchased and related costs.

Table of Contents

The Clean Energy Businesses use a value-at-risk (VaR) model to assess the market price risk of their portfolio of electricity and gas commodity fixed-price purchase and sales commitments, physical forward contracts, generating assets and commodity derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential change in fair value of the portfolio due to changes in market prices, for a specified time period and confidence level. These businesses estimate VaR across their portfolio using a delta-normal variance/covariance model with a 95 percent confidence level, compare the measured VaR results against performance due to actual prices and stress test the portfolio each quarter using an assumed 30 percent price change from forecast. Since the VaR calculation involves complex methodologies and estimates and assumptions that are based on past experience, it is not necessarily indicative of future results. VaR for the portfolio, assuming a one-day holding period, for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, respectively, was as follows:

Investment Risk
The Companies’ investment risk relates to the investment of plan assets for their pension and other postretirement benefit plans and to the investments of Con Edison Transmission that are accounted for under the equity method.

The Companies’ current investment policy for pension plan assets includes investment targets of 45 to 55 percent equity securities, 33 to 43 percent debt securities and 10 to 14 percent real estate. At June 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the pension plan investments consisted of 5149 percent equity securities, 3938 percent debt securities and 1013 percent real estate.

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. Generally, O&R also defers such difference pursuant to its New York rate plans.

For information about the Companies’ primary market risks associated with activities in derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments and derivative commodity instruments, see “Financial and Commodity Market Risks,” in Part I, Item 2 of this report, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4: 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.
There was no change in the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companies’ most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting.

We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets. Our service territories include some of the most severely impacted counties in the United States. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may face an extended economic slowdown in our service territories which could have a material impact on our liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations.

We will continue to monitor developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we cannot predict the extent to which COVID-19 may have a material impact on our business operations, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact these matters will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information concerning the severity of COVID-19, actions that federal, state and local governmental or regulatory agencies may take in response to COVID-19, and other actions taken to contain it or treat its impact, among others.
