REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE") is a holding company that owns a highly diversified portfolio of locally managed and operated businesses principally engaged in the energy industry (collectively with its subsidiaries, the "Company") and is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The Company's operations are organized as eight business segments: PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries ("PacifiCorp"), MidAmerican Funding, LLC and its subsidiaries ("MidAmerican Funding") (which primarily consists of MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy")), NV Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("NV Energy") (which primarily consists of Nevada Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") and Sierra Pacific Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific")), Northern Powergrid Holdings Company and its subsidiaries ("Northern Powergrid") (which primarily consists of Northern Powergrid (Northeast) plc and Northern Powergrid (Yorkshire) plc), BHE Pipeline Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (which primarily consists of BHE GT&S, LLC and its subsidiaries ("BHE GT&S"), Northern Natural Gas Company ("Northern Natural Gas") and Kern River Gas Transmission Company ("Kern River")), BHE Transmission (which consists of BHE Canada Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries ("BHE Canada") (which primarily consists of AltaLink, L.P. ("AltaLink")) and BHE U.S. Transmission, LLC and its subsidiaries), BHE Renewables, LLC and its subsidiaries ("BHE Renewables") and HomeServices of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("HomeServices"). The Company, through these locally managed and operated businesses, owns four utility companies in the U.S. serving customers in 11 states, two electricity distribution companies in Great Britain, five interstate natural gas pipeline companies andin the U.S., interests in a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export, import and storage facility in the U.S., an electric transmission business in Canada, interests in electric transmission businesses in the U.S., a renewable energy business primarily investing in wind, solar, geothermal and hydroelectric projects and one of the largest residential real estate brokerage firm in the U.S.firms and one of the largest residential real estate brokerage franchise networks in the U.S.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, and for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The results of operations for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, other than the updates associated with the Company's estimates of loss contingencies related to the Oregon and Northern California 2020 wildfires (the "2020 Wildfires") and the 2022 McKinney fire as discussed in Note 8.11.

(2)    New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-02, amending FASB ASC Topic 323-740, "Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Income Taxes" which set forth the conditions needed to apply the proportional amortization method. The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be adopted either using a modified retrospective approach by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption or a retrospective approach by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest fiscal year presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures included within Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3)    Business Acquisitions

On July 9, 2023, BHE and Eastern MLP Holding Company II, LLC ("the Buyer"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI") and DECP Holdings, Inc. (the "Seller"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DEI, to purchase (the "Transaction") Seller's 50% limited partner interests in Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point") for a cash purchase price of $3.3 billion, plus the pro rata portion of any quarterly distribution made by Cove Point for the fiscal quarter in which the Transaction closes. BHE expects to fund the purchase price with cash on hand, including cash realized from the liquidation of certain investments. Upon the completion of the Transaction, the Buyer will own an aggregate of 75% of the limited partner interests, and its affiliate, Cove Point GP Holding Company, LLC, will continue to own 100% of the general partner interest, of Cove Point.

The consummation of the Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including without limitation (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (ii) the filing of a notification with the U.S. Department of Energy and the expiration of any applicable period; and (iii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties and compliance by the parties in all material respects with their respective obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The Transaction is expected to close by year-end 2023, subject to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, among other things.

The Purchase Agreement provides that if the Seller or DEI terminates the Purchase agreement due to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by the Buyer or Buyer's failure to consummate the Transaction within three business days after all of the conditions to close have been satisfied or waived, BHE will pay to the Seller a termination fee of $150 million.

(79)    Asset Retirement Obligations

MidAmerican Energy estimates its asset retirement obligation ("ARO") liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of expected work. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, MidAmerican Energy recorded an increase of $88 million for decommissioning its wind-generating facilities, which is a non-cash investing activity and is due to an updated decommissioning estimate reflecting changes in the projected removal costs per turbine.

(10)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which the Company transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, the Company uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent the Company's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. The Company bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by the Company. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of the Company's outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, the Company's forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contract. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, the Company uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of the underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.

The Company's mortgage loans held for sale are valued based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices of other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. As necessary, these prices are adjusted for typical securitization activities, including servicing value, portfolio composition, market conditions and liquidity.

1820


The Company's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions). Transfers out of Level 3 occur primarily due to increased price observability.

The Company's long-term debt is carried at cost including fair value adjustments and unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of the Company's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

Wildfire Liability Overview
    
A provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liabilityloss can be reasonably estimated. PacifiCorpThe Company evaluates which potential liabilities are probable and the related range of reasonably estimated losses and records a charge that reflectsloss based on its best estimate within that range or the lower end of the range if there is no better estimate.

In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages from wildfires without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could nevertheless be found liable for all damages proximately caused by negligence, including real and personal property and natural resource damages; fire suppression costs; personal injury and loss of life damages; and interest.damages.

2020 Wildfires

In September 2020, a severe weather event resulting in high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, which resulted in real and personal property and natural resource damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon, burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate. Third partyThird-party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures destroyed, including residences; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities. Fire suppression costs estimated by various agencies total approximately $150 million.

Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and being conducted by various entities, including the United StatesU.S. Forest Service, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp.

As of the date of this filing, 60numerous lawsuits on behalf of plaintiffs related to the 2020 Wildfires have been filed in Oregon and California, including a class action complaint in Oregon on behalf offor which the jury issued a verdict for the 17 named plaintiffs related to the 2020 Wildfires.in June 2023 as described below. The plaintiffs seek damages that include property damages,for economic losses, noneconomic losses, including mental suffering, emotional distress, personal injury and loss of life, punitive damages, exemplaryother damages and attorneys' fees and other damages. Additionally, severalfees. Several insurance carriers have filed subrogation complaints in Oregon and California with allegations similar to those made in the aforementioned lawsuits. The finalAdditionally, certain governmental agencies have informed PacifiCorp that they are contemplating filing actions in connection with certain of the Oregon 2020 Wildfires. Amounts sought in the lawsuits, complaints and demands filed in Oregon total over $7 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages included in the complaints. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are not included in this amount. Final determinations of liability however, will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations, and litigation processes.or similar processes, the outcome of which, if adverse, could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition.

AsOn September 30, 2020, a class action complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Jeanyne James et al. v. PacifiCorp et al, in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Oregon (the "James case"). The complaint was filed by Oregon residents and businesses who seek to represent a class of all Oregon citizens and entities whose real or personal property was harmed beginning on September 7, 2020, by wildfires in Oregon allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. In November 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to limit the class to include Oregon citizens allegedly impacted by the Santiam Canyon, Echo Mountain Complex, South Obenchain and Two Four Two wildfires. In May 2022, the Multnomah County Circuit Court granted issue class certification and consolidated the James case with several other cases. While PacifiCorp requested an immediate appeal of the issue class certification, the Oregon Court of Appeals denied the request. In April 2023, the jury trial for the James case with respect to 17 named plaintiffs began in Multnomah County Circuit Court. In June 2023, the jury issued its verdict finding PacifiCorp liable to the 17 individual plaintiffs and to the class with respect to the four wildfires. The jury awarded the 17 named plaintiffs $90 million of damages, including $4 million of economic and property damages, $68 million of noneconomic damages and $18 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier of the economic and noneconomic damages. No judgment has been entered by the Multnomah County Circuit Court and no determination has been made as to the timing, process and procedures that will be used to adjudicate individual class member damages. PacifiCorp intends to vigorously appeal the jury's findings and damage awards, including whether the case can proceed as a class action. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.

Based on the facts and circumstances available to PacifiCorp as of the date of this filing, PacifiCorp estimateswhich includes the probable lossstatus of the verdict in the James case with respect to be $200 million, net of expected insurance recoveriesthe 17 named plaintiffs, other litigation and recent settlements, PacifiCorp has accrued such amount as of September 30, 2022. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, PacifiCorp accrued $64 million ofcumulative estimated probable losses net of expected insurance recoveries, associated with the 2020 Wildfires. TheWildfires of $1,018 million through June 30, 2023. PacifiCorp's cumulative accrual includes PacifiCorp's estimateestimates of probable losses for fire suppression costs, real and personal property damages, natural resource damages for certain areas and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages that are considered probable of being incurred and that it is reasonably able to estimate at this time. For certain aspects of the 2020 Wildfires for which loss is considered probable, information necessary to reasonably estimate the potential losses, such as those related to certain areas of natural resource damages, is not currently available.

It is reasonably possible PacifiCorp will incur material additional losses beyond the amounts accrued;accrued that could have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition; however, PacifiCorp is currently unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved, andincluding claimants in the class to the James case, the variation in those types of properties and lack of available details.

PacifiCorp's receivable for expected insurance recoveries associated with the probable losses was $277$379 million and $246 million, respectively, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023, PacifiCorp recognized probable losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the 2020 Wildfires of $49 million and $408 million, respectively. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, PacifiCorp recognized probable losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the 2020 Wildfires of $64 million and $64 million, respectively. The net losses are included in operations and maintenance on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. No additional insurance recoveries beyond those accrued to date are expected to be available for the 2020 Wildfires.

2022 McKinney Fire

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, ("Cal Fire"), on July 29, 2022, at approximately 2:16 p.m. Pacific Time, a wildfire began in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California (the "2022 McKinney Fire") located in PacifiCorp's service territory. The Cal Fire McKinney Fire incident report last updated September 8, 2022 (the "Cal Fire incident report") indicatesThird-party reports indicate that the 2022 McKinney Fire resulted in 11 structures damaged, 185 structures destroyed, 12 injuries and 4 fatalities. According to InciWeb, an interagency all-risk incident information management system, the 2022 McKinney Firefour fatalities and consumed 60,13860,000 acres. The cause of the 2022 McKinney Fire is undetermined and remains under investigation by the United StatesU.S. Forest Service.

Due to the preliminary nature of the investigation, PacifiCorp does not believe a loss is probable and therefore has not accrued any loss as of the date of this filing. While the loss is not probable, PacifiCorp estimates the potential loss, excluding losses for natural resource damages, to be $31 million, net of expected insurance recoveries. The loss estimate includes PacifiCorp's estimate of losses for fire suppression costs; real and personal property damages; and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages. PacifiCorp is unable to estimate the total potential loss, including losses for natural resource damages, because there are a number of unknown facts and legal considerations that may impact the amount of any potential liability, including the total scope and nature of claims that may be asserted against PacifiCorp. PacifiCorp has insurance available and estimates the potential insurance recoveries to be $103 million, to cover potential losses.

As of the date of this filing, multiple lawsuits have been filed in California on behalf of plaintiffs related to the 2022 McKinney Fire. The plaintiffs seek damages that include property damages,for economic losses, noneconomic losses, including mental suffering, emotional distress, personal injury and loss of life, punitive damages, exemplaryother damages and attorneys' fees, and other damages but the amount of damages sought areis not specified. The finalFinal determinations of liability, however, will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations and litigation processes.

Hydroelectric Relicensing

PacifiCorp is a party to the 2016 amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement ("KHSA"), which is intended to resolve disputes surrounding PacifiCorp's efforts to relicense the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. The KHSA establishes a process for PacifiCorp, the states of Oregon and California ("States") and other stakeholders to assess whether dam removal can occur consistent with the settlement's terms. For PacifiCorp, the key elements of the settlement include: (1) a contribution from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers capped at $200 million plus $250 million in California bond funds; (2) complete indemnification from harms associated with dam removal; (3) transfer of the FERC license to a third-party dam removal entity, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC"), who would conduct dam removal; and (4) ability for PacifiCorp to operate the facilities for the benefit of customers until dam removal commences.

In September 2016, the KRRC and PacifiCorp filed a joint application with the FERC to transfer the license for the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC. The FERC approved partial transfer of the Klamath license in a July 2020 order, subject to the condition that PacifiCorp remains co-licensee. Under the amended KHSA, PacifiCorp did not agree to remain co-licensee during the surrender and removal process given concerns about liability protections for PacifiCorp and its customers. In November 2020, PacifiCorp entered a memorandum of agreement (the "MOA") with the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States to continue implementation of the KHSA. The agreement required the States, PacifiCorp and KRRC to file a new license transfer application to remove PacifiCorp from the license for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project and add the States and KRRC as co-licensees for the purposes of surrender. In addition, the MOA provides for additional contingency funding of $45 million, equally split between PacifiCorp and the States, and for PacifiCorp and the States to equally share in any additional cost overruns in the unlikely event that dam removal costs exceed the $450 million in funding to ensure dam removal is complete. The MOA also requires PacifiCorp to cover the costs associated with certain pre-existing environmental conditions. In June 2021, the FERC approved transfer of the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC and the States as co-licensees. In July 2021, the Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho and California state public utility commissions conditionally approved the required property transfer applications. In August 2021, PacifiCorp notified the Public Service Commission of Utah of the property transfer, however no formal approval is required in Utah. The transfer will be effective within 30 days following the issuance of a license surrender from the FERC for the project, which remains pending. In August 2022, the FERC staff issued a final environmental impact statement for the project, concluding that dam removal is the preferred action.

Guarantees

The Company has entered into guarantees as part of the normal course of business and the sale or transfer of certain assets. These guarantees are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial results.

Subject to certain closing conditions, the Transaction is expected to close by year-end 2023.

Material Cash Requirements

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, other than those disclosed in Notes 4 and 8Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Quad Cities Generating Station Operating Status

Constellation Energy Corp. ("Constellation Energy," previously Exelon Generation Company, LLC, which was a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation prior to February 1, 2022), the operator of Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station") of which MidAmerican Energy has a 25% ownership interest, announced on June 2, 2016, its intention to shut down Quad Cities Station on June 1, 2018. In December 2016, Illinois passed legislation creating a zero emission standard, which went into effect June 1, 2017. The zero emission standard requires the Illinois Power Agency to purchase ZECs and recover the costs from certain ratepayers in Illinois, subject to certain limitations. The proceeds from the ZECs will provide Constellation Energy additional revenue through 2027 as an incentive for continued operation of Quad Cities Station. MidAmerican Energy will not receive additional revenue from the subsidy.

The PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") capacity market includes a Minimum Offer Price Rule ("MOPR"). If a generation resource is subjected to a MOPR, its offer price in the market is adjusted to effectively remove the revenues it receives through a state government-provided financial support program, resulting in a higher offer that may not clear the capacity market. Prior to December 19, 2019, the PJM MOPR applied only to certain new gas-fired resources. An expanded PJM MOPR to include existing resources would require exclusion of ZEC compensation when bidding into future capacity auctions, resulting in an increased risk of Quad Cities Station not receiving capacity revenues in future auctions.

On December 19, 2019, the FERC issued an order requiring the PJM to broadly apply the MOPR to all new and existing resources, including nuclear. This greatly expanded the breadth and scope of the PJM's MOPR, which became effective as of the PJM's capacity auction for the 2022-2023 planning year in May 2021. While the FERC included some limited exemptions, no exemptions were available to state-supported nuclear resources, such as Quad Cities Station. The FERC provided no new mechanism for accommodating state-supported resources other than the existing Fixed Resource Requirement ("FRR") mechanism under which an entire utility zone would be removed from PJM's capacity auction along with sufficient resources to support the load in such zone. In response to the FERC's order, the PJM submitted a compliance filing on March 18, 2020, wherein the PJM proposed tariff language reflecting the FERC's directives and a schedule for resuming capacity auctions. On April 16, 2020, the FERC issued an order largely denying requests for rehearing of the FERC's December 2019 order but granting a few clarifications that required an additional PJM compliance filing, which the PJM submitted on June 1, 2020. A number of parties, including Constellation Energy, have filed petitions for review of the FERC's orders in this proceeding, which remain pending before the D.C. Circuit.

As a result, the MOPR applied to Quad Cities Station in the capacity auction for the 2022-2023 planning year, which prevented Quad Cities Station from clearing in that capacity auction.

At the direction of the PJM Board of Managers, the PJM and its stakeholders developed further MOPR reforms to ensure that the capacity market rules respect and accommodate state resource preferences such as the ZEC programs. The PJM filed related tariff revisions at the FERC on July 30, 2021, and, on September 29, 2021, the PJM's proposed MOPR reforms became effective by operation of law. Under the new tariff provisions, the MOPR will no longer apply to Quad Cities Station. Requests for rehearing of the FERC's notice establishing the effective date for the PJM's proposed market reforms were filed in October 2021 and denied by operation of law on November 4, 2021. Several parties have filed petitions for review of the FERC's orders in this proceeding, which remain pending before the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Constellation Energy is strenuously opposing these appeals.

Assuming the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard, Constellation Energy no longer considers Quad Cities Station to be at heightened risk for early retirement. However, to the extent the Illinois zero emission standard does not operate as expected over its full term, Quad Cities Station would be at heightened risk for early retirement. The FERC's December 19, 2019 order on the PJM MOPR may undermine the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard unless the PJM adopts further changes to the MOPR or Illinois implements an FRR mechanism, under which Quad Cities Station would be removed from the PJM's capacity auction.

PacifiCorp

Oregon

In March 2022, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting an overall rate change of $82 million, or 6.6%, to become effective January 1, 2023, that includes cost increases associated with the implementation of PacifiCorp's wildfire mitigation and vegetation management plans. Parties to the case filed testimony in June 2022. PacifiCorp filed reply testimony in July 2022 supporting an overall rate increase of $94 million but proposing that the request be capped at PacifiCorp's original request. PacifiCorp and parties to the case settled various aspects of the general rate case in multiple settlement stipulations. In August 2022, the first partial stipulation was filed resolving issues related to wildfire mitigation and vegetation management, including addressing the associated costs increases. Also in August 2022, a second partial stipulation was filed representing the settlement of certain revenue requirement issues among the stipulating parties, including the extension of Oregon's recovery period for Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2 that will be converted to natural gas-fueled units and certain other issues. In September 2022, a third stipulation was filed resolving most of the remaining issues in the general rate case following the first and second partial stipulations. The stipulations together result in a total rate increase of $49 million, or 3.9%, effective January 1, 2023. The stipulating parties also agreed to amortize certain deferrals totaling approximately $10 million, or 0.8 %, in the first year of amortization, effective April 1, 2023. Further, in the third stipulation, PacifiCorp agreed to a general rate case stay-out provision under which it agreed not to file a general rate case with rates effective any earlier than January 1, 2025. In September 2022, the fourth and final partial stipulation was filed resolving technical issues related to a voluntary renewable energy tariff that will allow non-residential customers to purchase energy from renewable resources not currently in PacifiCorp's rates. A commission decision on the stipulations is pending.Utah

In May 2022,2023, PacifiCorp filed its 2021energy balancing account application to recover deferred net power cost adjustment mechanism ("PCAM"), which is the first time since the mechanism has been in place thatcosts from 2022.

After considerationincrease of the mechanism's deadband, sharing band and earnings test, PacifiCorp requested recovery of $52$98 million, or a 4.2% increase, to become4.6%, effective Januaryon an interim basis July 1, 2023. This request is incremental to the rate change sought in the general rate case. In September 2022, a settlement stipulation was filed agreeing to the recovery of the requested $52 million over a four-year period beginning April 1, 2023. A commission decision on the stipulation is pending.

Oregon

In July 2022, PacifiCorp filed an application requesting approval of an automatic adjustment clause with a balancing account to recover costs associated with implementing PacifiCorp's wildfire protection plan in Oregon. Oregon Senate Bill 762 provides for utilitiesPer formal rulemaking at the OPUC, the wildfire protection plan was changed to timely recover these costs throughbe known as the wildfire mitigation plan, resulting in the requested automatic adjustment clause being referred to as the Wildfire Mitigation Plan Automatic Adjustment Clause ("WMP AAC"). In December 2022, a stipulation with certain parties was filed agreeing to the establishment of an automatic adjustment clause. The filing requests a rateIn May 2023, the OPUC approved the stipulation, which resulted in an overall annual increase of $20 million, or 1.6%, effective May 24, 2023 for estimated 2022 incremental operation and maintenance costs in excess of those reflected in base rates as a result of the last general rate case. In June 2023, PacifiCorp filed its WMP AAC to recover remaining 2022 deferred operations and maintenance costs, projected incremental 2023 operations and maintenance costs in 2022 and iscapital costs incremental to costs addressedamounts previously included in PacifiCorp's wildfire mitigation and vegetation management mechanism through the general rate case stipulation described above. Whilefilings. The filing requested a rate increase of $27 million over the existing amount approved in May 2023, to become effective November 5, 2023. When combined with the previously approved increase, the rate schedule would be set to recover $47 million.

In April 2023, PacifiCorp filed its transition adjustment mechanism requesting approval to update net power costs for 2024. The filing requested a rate increase of $164 million, or 9.5%, to become effective January 1, 2024.

Wyoming

In March 2023, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting a rate increase of $140 million, or 21.6%, to become effective January 1, 2024. The requested rate increase includes recovery of increases in net power costs and new major capital investments in transmission and wind-powered generating facilities.

In April 2023, PacifiCorp filed its energy cost adjustment and renewable energy credit and sulfur dioxide revenue credit mechanisms to recover deferred net power costs from 2022. The combined filing requested a rate increase of $49 million, or 7.4%, to become effective on an effective date of August 24, 2022, the OPUC has suspended the filing for further review. A decision is expected ininterim basis July 1, 2023.

In June 2022, PacifiCorp filed its 2021 PCAM and the new tracking mechanism for PTCs approved in the 2021 general rate case. For the 2021 PCAM, PacifiCorp is requesting a recovery of $26 million, or a 6.5% increase. PacifiCorp proposed that the 2021 PCAM be amortized over two years, rather than the one-year period required under the current terms of the PCAM. For the new 2021 PTC tracker, PacifiCorp is seeking recovery of $3 million, or an 0.8% increase. Should the WUTC approve the proposal to extend the amortization period of the 2021 PCAM from one to two years, the combined annual increase would be $16 million, or 4.0%, effective January 1, 2023.

California

In May 2022, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case requesting an overall rate change of $28 million, or 25.7%, to become effective January 1, 2023.

Approximately $4 million25.0%. Also in February 2023, the CPUC issued a ruling requesting additional information on PacifiCorp's wildfire and risk analyses and requested additional information regarding wildfire memorandum accounts. In March 2023, the CPUC split the general rate case into two tracks. The first track addresses the general rate case with an expected decision from the CPUC in late 2023, and the second track addresses the wildfire memorandum accounts with a decision expected in the second quarter of 2024.

Wind PRIME

In January 2022, MidAmerican Energy filed an application with the IUB for advance ratemaking principles for Wind PRIME. If approved, MidAmerican Energy expects to proceed with Wind PRIME, which consists of up to 2,042 MWs of new wind generation and up to 50 MWs of solar generation. If all of Wind PRIME generation is constructed, MidAmerican Energy will own over 9,300 MWs of wind generation and nearly 200 MWs of solar generation. Wind PRIME is projected to allow MidAmerican Energy to generate renewable energy greater than or equal to all of its Iowa retail customers' annual energy needs. MidAmerican Energy secured sufficient safe harbor equipment necessaryexpects to remainbe eligible for 100% PTCs under current tax law. Procedural hearingslaw for the Wind PRIME projects. In December 2022, MidAmerican Energy, the Iowa Office of Consumer Advocate and the Iowa Business Energy Coalition filed a non-unanimous settlement with the IUB are expectedthat included a rate of return of 11.0%. The settlement would benefit customers by providing an immediate rate decrease through lower retail fuel costs and future rate increase mitigation through accelerated depreciation of generation assets. On April 27, 2023, the IUB issued its final order regarding the application and found that MidAmerican Energy met the statutory requisites for a grant of advance ratemaking principles and granted the application, but rejected the settlement and proposed its own principles for the project. MidAmerican Energy reviewed the order and filed a motion for reconsideration or rehearing on May 17, 2023. On June 15, 2023, the IUB granted the motion for reconsideration and rehearing. On July 14, 2023 the IUB issued a new procedural schedule with rehearing set to begin on October 10, 2023. MidAmerican Energy expects the IUB to issue an order on the request for reconsideration and rehearing by the end of 2023.

Iowa Transmission Legislation

In June 2020, Iowa enacted legislation that grants incumbent electric transmission owners the right to construct, own and maintain electric transmission lines that have been approved for construction in Februarya federally registered planning authority's transmission plan and that connect to the incumbent electric transmission owner's facility. Also known as the Right of First Refusal, the law provides MidAmerican Energy, as an incumbent electric transmission owner, the legal right to construct, own and maintain transmission lines in MidAmerican Energy's service territory that have been approved by the MISO (or another federally registered planning authority) and are eligible to receive regional cost allocation. To exercise the legal right, MidAmerican Energy must notify the IUB within 90 days of any such approval for the construction of eligible electric transmission lines that it intends to construct, own and maintain. The law still requires an incumbent electric transmission owner to obtain a state franchise from the IUB to construct, erect, maintain or operate an electric transmission line and, upon issuance of a franchise, the incumbent electric transmission owner must provide the IUB an estimate of the cost to construct the eligible electric transmission line and, until the construction is complete, a quarterly report updating the estimated cost to construct the eligible electric transmission line. In October 2020, national transmission interests filed a lawsuit that challenged the law on state constitutional grounds. The suit argues that the law was enacted in violation of the "single-subject" provision of Iowa's state constitution because it was "log-rolled" into a late session appropriations bill and violates the equal protection provision of the Iowa constitution. The State of Iowa defended the law, and MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest both intervened and defended the law as well. The Iowa district court dismissed the lawsuit in March 2021 for lack of standing, and the national transmission interests appealed. In June 2022, the Iowa Court of Appeals upheld the district court's decision, after which the national transmission interests asked the Iowa Supreme Court to reconsider. In November 2022, the Iowa Supreme Court granted the motion to reconsider. On March 24, 2023, the Iowa Supreme Court issued an opinion that reversed the lower courts, held the national transmission interests had standing, and remanded the case to the district court to consider the state constitutional claims on their merits. The opinion also imposed a temporary injunction that stayed enforcement of the law pending a decision on the merits. On April 7, 2023, the State of Iowa, acting individually, and MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest, acting jointly, filed petitions for rehearing with the Iowa Supreme Court. On April 19, 2023, the national transmission interests filed a reply that (1) expressed its opposition to the petitions for rehearing, (2) asked the Iowa Supreme Court to hold that the injunction specifically applied to and precluded advancement of MidAmerican Energy's Long Range Transmission Projects ("LRTP") Tranche 1 projects, and (3) asked the Iowa Supreme Court to retain the matter and rule on the constitutional claims on the merits without further briefing or argument. On April 26, 2023, the Iowa Supreme Court issued an order that denied the petitions for rehearing without comment and made minor, non-substantive changes to the decision, with no changes to the injunction. On May 30, 2023, the Iowa Supreme Court remanded the case to the district court for further proceedings on the merits, where the national transmission interests have filed a motion for summary judgment. The State of Iowa, MidAmerican Energy and ITC Midwest are collaborating on a resistance to the motion and the State of Iowa is preparing a cross motion for summary judgment. A hearing on the motions for summary judgment is scheduled for September 29, 2023, with defendants' resisting documents due on August 4, 2023, plaintiffs' documents due on September 8, 2023, and reply documents due on September 18, 2023. To this point, MISO has taken no action to reverse or disrupt its approval of MidAmerican Energy's LRTP Tranche 1 projects. This matter only potentially affects the manner in which MidAmerican Energy would secure the right to construct transmission lines that are eligible for regional cost allocation and are otherwise subject to competitive bidding under the MISO tariff; it does not negatively affect or implicate MidAmerican Energy's ongoing rights to construct any other transmission lines, including lines required to serve new or expanded retail load, connect new generators or meet reliability criteria.

NV Energy (Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific)

Senate Bill 448 ("SB 448")

SB 448 was signed into law on June 10, 2021. The legislation is intended to accelerate transmission development, renewable energy and storage, and accelerate transportation electrification within the state of Nevada. In September 2021, the Nevada Utilities filed an amendment to the 2021 Joint IRP for the approval of their Transmission Infrastructure for a Clean Energy Economy Plan that sets forth a plan for the construction of high-voltage transmission infrastructure, Greenlink North among others, that will be placed into service no later than December 31, 2028, and requires the IRP to include at least one scenario that uses sources of supply that will achieve certain reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. In September 2021, the Nevada Utilities filed an application for the approval of their Economic Recovery Transportation Electrification Plan to accelerate transportation electrification in the state of Nevada. The plan establishes requirements for the contents of the transportation electrification investment as well as requirements for review, cost recovery and monitoring. The plan covers an initial period beginning January 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024. In November 2021, the PUCN issued an order granting the application and accepting the Economic Recovery Transportation Electrification Plan with some modifications. The PUCN opened rulemakings to address other regulations that resulted from SB 448. In February 2022, the PUCN adopted regulations regarding the Economic Development Electric Rate Rider Program to revise the discounted electric rates to ease the economic burden on small businesses who take advantage of the discounted rates under the tariff. In September 2022, the PUCN adopted regulations regarding resource planning, which incorporates a plan to accelerate transportation electrification into the distributed resources plan pursuant to SB 448.

ON Line Temporary Rider ("ONTR")

In October 2021, Sierra Pacific filed an application with the PUCN for approval of the ONTR with corresponding updates to its electric rate tariffs to authorize recovery of the One Nevada Transmission Line ("ON Line") regulatory asset being accumulated as a result of the ON Line cost reallocation as well as the related on-going reallocated revenue requirement. Sierra Pacific's application would have, if approved by the PUCN as filed, resulted in a one-time rate increase of $28 million to be collected over a nine-month period starting on April 1, 2022. In March 2022, the PUCN issued an order directing Sierra Pacific to recover $14 million of the ON Line regulatory asset as a one-time rate increase collectable over a nine-month period effective April 1, 2022, with the expected remaining balance at December 31, 2022 to be included in rate base in the 2022 regulatory rate review for inclusion in the rates set in that case.

Merger Application

In March 2022, the Nevada Utilities filed a joint application with the PUCN for authorization to merge Sierra Pacific with and into Nevada Power, with Nevada Power being the surviving entity. If approved by the PUCN as filed, Nevada Power will have two distinct electric service territories in northern and southern Nevada each with their own rates and one natural gas service territory in the Reno and Sparks area. In October 2022, all parties to the proceedings relating to the joint application entered into a Stipulation to delay the procedural schedule. The Nevada Utilities made a supplemental filing on December 30, 2022. In March 2023, the proceedings relating to the joint application were postponed to November 2022. AnMay 2023. In April 2023, the Nevada Utilities filed a notice with the PUCN requesting to withdraw the joint application to merge into a single corporate entity and vacate the current procedural schedule, and executed a termination of the related merger agreement. In May 2023, the PUCN issued an order is expected invacating the first half of 2023.procedural schedules and hearing.

Regulatory Rate Review
45


In June 2022, Sierra Pacific filed a regulatory rate review with the PUCN that requested an annual revenue increase of $88 million, or 9.7%. In addition, a filing was made to revise depreciation rates based on a study, the results of which are reflected in the proposed revenue requirement. In August 2022, Sierra Pacific filed an updated certification filing that requested an annual revenue increase of $77 million, or 8.5%. Parties to the review filed testimony and evidence in August and September 2022. Hearings in the cost of capital and revenue requirement phases were held in September and October 2022, respectively. The hearings in the rate design phase are scheduled for November 2022. An order is expected by the end of 2022 and, if approved, would be effective January 1, 2023.

Transportation Electrification Plan ("TEP")

In September 2022, the Nevada Utilities filed an amendment to the 2021 Joint IRP for the approval of a Distributed Resource Plan amendment to implement the state's first TEP pursuant to Section 51 of SB 448 and approve proposed tariffs and schedules to implement the TEP. The 2022 TEP outlines programs, investments and incentives to accelerate transportation electrification across Nevada. The Nevada Utilities anticipateproposed a budget of $348 million, which represents the maximum cost over the depreciable life of the TEP's programs and assets, to deploy the TEP in 2023 through 2024. In March 2023, the PUCN issued an order approving certain programs in the TEP, authorizing a lower program budget of $70 million and ordering specific caps on the program management and contingency budget amounts. The unapproved programs have been deferred for approval in future TEP filings. The PUCN also granted regulatory asset treatment of the approved program costs.In April 2023, interveners filed a petition for reconsideration of the PUCN's March 2023 Order. In May 2023, the PUCN granted in part and denied in part the petition for reconsideration and affirmed the March 2023 Order.

Deferred Energy Accounting Adjustment ("DEAA") Rate

In May 2023, the Nevada Utilities filed an application with the PUCN for approval to adjust the DEAA rates in excess of the maximum allowable adjustment to provide a discounted rate to customers effective July 1, 2023. In June 2023, the Nevada Utilities filed a stipulation signed by interveners that resolved all matters in the dockets opened for the application. In June 2023, the PUCN accepted the stipulation and granted the application as modified. The rate reduction for customers was effective July 1, 2023.

Regulatory Rate Review

In June 2023, Nevada Power filed a regulatory rate review with the PUCN that requested an annual revenue increase of $93 million, or 3.3%. In addition, a filing was made to revise depreciation rates based on a study, the results of which are reflected in the proposed revenue requirements. An order is expected by the end of 2023 and, if approved, would be effective January 1, 2024.

Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies

GEMA, through Ofgem is undertaking its scheduled review ofhas completed the electricity distribution price control to putreview that resulted in place a new price control ateffective April 1, 2023. The license modifications that give effect to the endprice control were published by Ofgem on February 3, 2023, and were subject to appeal to the Competition and Markets Authority ("CMA") if an appeal was filed by March 3, 2023. On March 2, 2023, Northern Powergrid sought permission from the CMA to appeal against the license modifications that give effect to the RIIO-ED2 price control. The appeal relates to two specific areas:
Ofgem's misallocation of allowances that is inconsistent with efficient costs; and
Ofgem's approach to determine rewards for the Business Plan Incentive.
The permission for the appeal was granted by the CMA and the appeal is expected to conclude in the third quarter of 2023 in accordance with the timetable required of the current period that ends March 2023.CMA. The newoutcome of this appeal may increase the revenue available to the Company if the CMA amends the price control ("ED2") will run for five years from April 2023 to March 2028. In December 2020 and March 2021, GEMA published its decision on the methodology it will use to set ED2. This confirmed that Ofgem will maintain many aspects of the current price control and that the changes being made will generally follow the template that was set by the price controls implemented in April 2021 for transmission and gas distribution in Great Britain. Specific changes include new service standard incentives and mechanisms to adjust cost allowances in specific circumstances, while others will be discontinued, and partially updating the allowed return on equity within the period for changes in the interest rate on government bonds.determination.

In December 2021, Northern Powergrid published and filed its business plan with Ofgem, setting out its detailed approach for 2023-2028 including the cost allowances this approach would require. In June 2022, Ofgem published its draft determinations, which included an allowed cost of equity of 4.75% plus inflation (calculated using the United Kingdom's consumer price index including owner occupiers' housing costs). When placed on a comparable footing, by adjusting for differences in the assumed equity ratio and the measure of inflation used, this working assumption is approximately two percentage points lower than the current cost of equity for electricity distribution. Ofgem's proposals also set out cost allowances and associated expectations. In August 2022, Northern Powergrid formally responded to Ofgem's consultation on its draft determinations to lobby for a better settlement. Final values from Ofgem are expected in November 2022.

BHE Pipeline Group

BHE GT&S

In September 2021, EGTS filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective November 1, 2021. EGTS' previous general rate case was settled in 1998. EGTS proposed an annual cost-of-service of approximately $1.1 billion, and requested increases in various rates, including general system storage rates by 85% and general system transportationtransmission rates by 60%. In October 2021, the FERC issued an order that accepted the November 1, 2021, effective date for certain changes in rates, while suspending the other changes for five months following the proposed effective date, until April 1, 2022, subject to refund. In September 2022, a settlement agreement was filed with the FERC, resolving EGTS' general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services and providingwhich provided for increased service rates and decreased depreciation rates. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, EGTS' rates result in an increase to annual firm transportationtransmission and storage services revenues of approximately $160 million and a decrease in annual depreciation expense of approximately $30 million, compared to the rates in effect prior to April 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, EGTS' provision for rate refund for April 2022 through SeptemberFebruary 2023, including accrued interest, totaled $91 million. In November 2022, totaled $56 million and was included in other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. FERC approval ofapproved the settlement is expectedagreement and the rate refunds to customers were processed in late 2022 or earlyFebruary 2023.

Northern Natural Gas

In July 2022, Northern Natural Gas filed a general rate case that proposed an overall annual cost-of-service of $1.3 billion. This is an increase of $323 million above the cost of service filed in its 2019 rate case of $1.0 billion. Depreciation on increased rate base and an increase in depreciation and negative salvage rates account for $115 million of the $323 million increase in the filed cost of service. Northern Natural Gas has requested increases in various rates, including transportation and storage reservation rates ranging from approximately 45% in the Field Area to 120% in the Market Area to be implemented, subject to refund, on August 1, 2022.rates. In July 2022,January 2023, the FERC issued an order that suspended theapproved Northern Natural Gas filing to implement its interim rates proposed for five months following the proposed effective date, until January 1, 2023, subject to refund and the outcome of hearing procedures. In June 2023, a settlement agreement was filed with the FERC resolving all pending issues in the rate case and providing for increased service rates and increased depreciation rates for onshore transmission plant from 2.30% to 2.49%. Market Area transportation reservation rates increased 32.5% and storage reservation rates increased 13.0% from the rates that were in effect in 2022. The settlement also provides for a Section 4 and Section 5 rate action moratorium through June 30, 2024, subject to certain exceptions. The settlement rates were implemented May 1, 2023, and the Company's provision for rate refunds for January 2023 through April 2023 totaled $88 million. FERC approval of the settlement is expected before the end of 2023.

AltaLink

2022-20232024-2025 General Tariff Application

In April 2021,2023, AltaLink filed its 2022-20232024-2025 GTA delivering onwith the last two yearsAUC with total transmission tariffs of itsC$902.3 million and C$908.6 million for 2024 and 2025, respectively, which extends AltaLink's previous five-year commitment to keep rates flat for customersmaintain its tariff at or below the 2018 level of C$904 million for the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The two-year application achieves flat tariffs by continuing to transition to the AUC-approved salvage recovery method and continuing the use of the flow-through income tax method, with an overall year-over-year increase of approximately 2% in 2022 and 2023 revenue requirements.for another year. The application requestedalso requests the approval to reinstate C$98.9 million cost of transmission tariffs of C$824 million and C$847 million for 2022 and 2023, respectively after proposed refunds. In September 2021, AltaLink provided responsesremoval to rate base which was not previously approved, based on additional information requests from the AUC and filed an amended application to reflect certain adjustments and forecast updates.

In January 2022, the AUC issued its decision with respect to AltaLink's 2022-2023 GTA. AltaLink's 2022-2023 GTA reflected its continued commitment to provide rate stability to customers by maintaining flat tariffs and providing additional tariff relief measures, including a proposed tariff refund of C$60 million of accumulated depreciation in each of 2022 and 2023. The AUC did not approve AltaLink's proposed refund due to an anticipated improvement in general economic conditions in Alberta. In March 2022, AltaLink filed a review and variance application requesting the AUC to review and vary its decision to deny AltaLink's proposed C$120 million refund of accumulated depreciation surplus, given material changes in circumstances since the decision was issued in January 2022. In May 2022, the AUC issued a decision with respect to AltaLink's application to review and vary its proposed $120 million refund of accumulated depreciation surplus. The AUC found that a material decline in Alberta's economic circumstances is not sufficient evidence to warrant the refund.filed.

In July 2022,2023, AltaLink submittedrequested the AUC to suspend the schedule for its second compliance filing2024-2025 GTA until August 31, 2023. AltaLink requires the schedule delay to amend its application. The amendment is in response to the unprecedented wildfire events that AltaLink experienced in Alberta, Canada in May and June 2023. The AUC accepted AltaLink's request to refile its application on August 31, 2023, and directed AltaLink to limit its application updates to its Wildfire Mitigation Plan and related wildfire references. AltaLink plans to file an application with total 2022 and 2023 revenue requirements at C$879 million and C$883 million, respectively. In August 2022, the AUC approvedlater this year to recover all costs incurred as a result of the revised revenue requirements as filed, allowing AltaLink to fully deliver on its flat-for-five commitment to customers.recent wildfire events.

2023 Generic Cost of Capital Proceeding

In January 2022, the AUC initiated the 2023 generic cost of capital proceeding. The proceeding will be conducted in two stages. The first stage will determine the cost of capital parameters for 2023 and the second stage will consider returning to a formula-based approach to establish cost of capital adjustments, commencing in 2024. In March 2022, the AUC issued its decision with respect to the first stage of the 2023 GCOC proceeding by approving the extension of the 2022 return on equity of 8.5% and deemed equity ratio of 37% for 2023, recognizing lingering uncertainty and continued volatility of financial markets due to the COVID-19 pandemic.markets. In June 2022, the AUC initiated the second stage to explore a formula-based approach to determine the return on equity for 2024 and future test periods.

In February 2023, AltaLink and other stakeholders filed evidence. AltaLink filed expert evidence recommending a 10.3% return on equity, on a recommended equity ratio of 40%. Other utilities filed similar recommendations. The Consumers' Coalition of Alberta, the Utilities Consumer Advocate and the Industrial Power Consumers Association of Alberta recommended returns on equity ranging from 6.75% to 7.7% and equity ratios ranging from 35% to 37%. AltaLink's expert witness, as well as all other utility experts, submitted that they are generally not in favor of implementing a formulaic adjustment mechanism for allowed return on equity due to the challenges in maintaining the Fair Return Standard through formulaic adjustments. The interveners are generally in favor of a formula. The AUC expects to conclude the second stage of the GCOC proceeding in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Each Registrant is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal combustion byproductash disposal hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact each Registrant's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state, local and international agencies. Each Registrant believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. The discussion below contains material developments to those matters disclosed in Item 1 of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, and new environmental matters occurring in 2022.2023.

Climate Change

Affordable Clean Energy Rule

In June 2014, the EPA released proposed regulations to address greenhouse gas emissions from existing fossil-fueled generating facilities, referred to as the Clean Power Plan, under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. The EPA's proposal calculated state-specific emission rate targets to be achieved based on the "best system of emission reduction." In August 2015, the final Clean Power Plan was released, which established the best system of emission reduction as including: (a) heat rate improvements; (b) increased utilization of existing combined-cycle natural gas-fueled generating facilities; and (c) increased deployment of new and incremental non-carbon generation placed in-service after 2012. The Clean Power Plan was stayed by the United States Supreme Court in February 2016 while litigation proceeded. On June 19, 2019, the EPA repealed the Clean Power Plan and issued the Affordable Clean Energy rule. In the Affordable Clean Energy rule, the EPA determined that the best system of emission reduction for existing coal-fueled generating facilities is limited to actions that can be taken at a point source facility, specifically heat rate improvements, and identified a set of candidate technologies and measures that could improve heat rates. Measures taken to meet the standards of performance must be achieved at the source itself. The Affordable Clean Energy rule was challenged by environmental and health groups in the D.C. Circuit. On January 19, 2021, the D.C. Circuit vacated and remanded the Affordable Clean Energy rule to the EPA, finding that the rule "rested critically on a mistaken reading of the Clean Air Act" that limited the best system of emission reduction to actions taken at a facility. In October 2021, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of that decision. Arguments in the case were held February 28, 2022, and on June 30, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision regarding the scope of the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. The United States Supreme Court held that the "generation shifting" approach in the Clean Power Plan exceeded the powers granted to the EPA by Congress, although the court did not address whether the EPA may only adopt measures applied at the individual source as it did in the Affordable Clean Energy rule. A key area where the EPA went astray was using the Clean Power Plan to give states the option to promulgate regulations that would encourage "generation shifting," or moving away from higher-polluting power sources like coal to lower-polluting sources like natural gas or renewables. The United States Supreme Court found that type of regulation, which would impact larger economic forces beyond the fence lines of individual generating facilities, is not permitted under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. The United States Supreme Court reversed the D.C. Circuit's vacatur of the Affordable Clean Energy rule and remanded the case for further proceedings. The ruling has no immediate impact on the Registrants, as there is no Section 111(d) rule currently in effect. The Biden administration plans to propose by March 2023 its own rule to replace the Clean Power Plan and Affordable Clean Energy rule.

Clean Air ActQuality Regulations

The Clean Air Act, is a federal law administered by the EPA thatas well as state laws and regulations impacting air emissions, provides a framework for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and controlling sources of air emissions. The implementation of new standards is generally outlined in SIPs, which are a collection ofThese laws and regulations programs and policiescontinue to be followed. SIPs vary bypromulgated and implemented and will impact the operation of BHE's generating facilities and require them to reduce emissions at those facilities to comply with the requirements. In addition, the potential adoption of state or federal clean energy standards, which include low-carbon, non-carbon and renewable electricity generating resources, may also impact electricity generators and natural gas providers.

Greenhouse Gas Standards

In May 2023, the EPA proposed rules addressing greenhouse gas emissions from new and reconstructed natural gas-fueled combustion turbines (Clean Air Act Section 111(b) rule) and existing coal- and gas- or oil-fueled steam units and natural gas-fueled combustion turbines (Clean Air Act Section 111(d) rule). The proposed requirements for existing units would take effect January 1, 2030, through state implementation plans. Requirements for new combustion turbines are subcategorized based on capacity factor, where low-load units would be required to meet an emissions limit, intermediate-load units would be required to use a blend of low-emitting hydrogen and natural gas and base-load units would be required to utilize carbon capture and sequestration technology or a high-percentage blend of low-emitting hydrogen. Requirements for existing gas- and oil-fueled steam units are also subcategorized based on capacity factor, where low-load units would be subject to public hearingsroutine maintenance to demonstrate no increase in emissions, intermediate-load units would be subject to an emission limit of 1,500 pounds of CO2 / MWh-gross and EPA approval. Some states may adopt additionalbase-load units would be subject to an emission limit of 1,300 pounds of CO2 / MWh-gross. Control equipment requirements for existing combustion turbines only apply to large, high load turbines that are greater than 300MW in capacity and operate at a greater than 50% capacity factor. These units would be required to begin utilizing carbon capture and sequestration with a 90% capture rate by 2035 or moreuse a blend of low-emitting hydrogen starting in 2032. Requirements for existing coal-fueled units are subcategorized based on retirement date. Units with earlier retirement dates would be subject to less stringent requirements than those implemented by the EPA. The majorwhile units that commit to later retirement dates would be subject to annual capacity factor limits or natural gas co-firing requirements. Units that will continue operating after December 31, 2039, would be required to utilize carbon capture and sequestration with a 90% carbon capture rate. Clean Air Act programs most directly affectingSection 111 establishes a cooperative approach between the Registrants' operationsEPA and the states. The EPA establishes nationwide standards based on the best system of emissions reductions it identifies for a source category. States are described below.then expected to develop plans to implement those standards at affected units. States may adopt the EPA's standards or develop state-specific standards that achieve the same air quality results. The EPA is accepting comments on the proposal through August 8, 2023. The relevant Registrants operate facilities that may be affected by these proposals. Until the EPA takes final action on the proposals, the states submit any required SIPs and litigation is exhausted, the relevant Registrants cannot determine the impacts of the proposed rule.

Mercury and Air Toxics Standards

In March 2011, the EPA proposed a rule that requires coal-fueled generating facilities to reduce mercury emissions and other hazardous air pollutants through the establishment of "Maximum Achievable Control Technology" standards. The final MATS became effective on April 16, 2012, and required that new and existing coal-fueled generating facilities achieve emission standards for mercury, acid gases and other non-mercury hazardous air pollutants. Existing sources were required to comply with the new standards by April 16, 2015, with the potential for individual sources to obtain an extension of up to one additional year, at the discretion of the Title V permitting authority, to complete installation of controls or for transmission system reliability reasons. The relevant Registrants have completed emission reduction projects and unit retirements to comply with the final rule's standards for acid gases and non-mercury metallic hazardous air pollutants.

Numerous lawsuits have been filed in the D.C. Circuit challenging the MATS. In April 2014, the D.C. Circuit upheld the MATS requirements. In November 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the MATS appeal on the limited issue of whether the EPA unreasonably refused to consider costs in determining whether it is appropriate to regulate hazardous air pollutants emitted by electric utilities. In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed and remanded the MATS rule, finding that the EPA had acted unreasonably when it deemed cost irrelevant to the decision to regulate generating facilities, and that cost, including costs of compliance, must be considered before deciding whether regulation is necessary and appropriate. In December 2018, the EPA issued a proposed revised supplemental cost finding for the MATS, as well as the required risk and technology review under Clean Air Act Section 112. The EPA proposed to determine that it is not appropriate and necessary to regulate hazardous air pollutant emissions from generating facilities under Section 112; however, the EPA proposed to retain the emission standards and other requirements of the MATS rule, because the EPA did not propose to remove coal- and oil-fueled generating facilities from the list of sources regulated under Section 112. In May 2020, the EPA published its decision to repeal the appropriate and necessary findings in the MATS rule and retain the overall emission standards. The rule took effect in July 2020. A number of petitions for review were filed in the D.C. Circuit by parties challenging and supporting the EPA's decision to rescind the appropriate and necessary finding, which were stayed pending the EPA's plans to revisit the finding. On January 31, 2022, the EPA proposed several actions relating to the MATS. The EPA proposed to restore the appropriate and necessary finding to regulate generating facilities under Clean Air Act Section 112. The EPA finalized its restoration of the MATS appropriate and necessary finding in February 2023.

On April 5, 2023, the EPA released a proposal to revise several aspects of the MATS rule following the agency's review of the 2020 Residual Risk and Technology Review. The EPA proposes two specific standard changes - one applicable to all covered units and one specific to the existing lignite subcategory. The EPA proposes a more stringent standard for emissions of filterable particulate matter, the surrogate standard for non-mercury metals for coal-fueled electric generating units. The EPA proposes to reduce the filterable particulate matter emission standard by two-thirds based on a demonstration that 91% of coal-based capacity, which has not been identified as retiring before the proposed compliance period, has an emission rate at or below the proposed limit. The EPA also proposes to require continuous emissions monitoring for filterable particulate matter to demonstrate compliance with the revised standard. Compliance would be due no later than three years after the effective date of a final rule and the EPA accepted comments on the proposal through June 23, 2023. The relevant Registrants are not included in the lignite subcategory. The relevant Registrants have identified that compliance can be achieved with existing controls. Until the EPA takes final action on the proposal, the full impacts of the rule cannot be determined.

National Ambient Air Quality Standards

Under the authority of the Clean Air Act, the EPA sets minimum NAAQS for six principal pollutants, consisting of carbon monoxide, lead, NOx, particulate matter, ozone and SO2, considered harmful to public health and the environment. Areas that achieve the standards, as determined by ambient air quality monitoring, are characterized as being in attainment, while those that fail to meet the standards are designated as being nonattainment areas. Generally, sources of emissions in a nonattainment area that are determined to contribute to the nonattainment are required to reduce emissions. Currently, with the exceptions described in the following paragraphs, air quality monitoring data indicates that all counties where the relevant Registrant's major emission sources are located are in attainment of the current NAAQS.

On June 4, 2018, the EPA published final ozone designations for much of the U.S. Relevant to the Registrants, these designations include classifying Yuma County, Arizona; Clark County, Nevada; and the Northern Wasatch Front, Southern Wasatch Front and Duchesne and Uintah counties in Utah as nonattainment-marginal with the 2015 ozone standard. These areas were required to meet the 2015 standard three years from the August 3, 2018, effective date. All other areas relevant to the Registrants were designated attainment/unclassifiable with this same action. However, on January 29, 2021, the D.C. Circuit vacated several provisions of the 2018 implementing rules for the 2015 ozone standards for contravening the Clean Air Act. The EPA and environmental groups finalized a consent decree in January 2022 that sets deadlines for the agency to approve or disapprove the "good neighbor" provisions of interstate ozone plans of dozens of states. Relevant to the Registrants, the EPA must, by April 30, 2022, propose to approve or disapprove the interstate ozone SIPs of Alabama, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin. On February 22, 2022, the EPA published a series of proposed decisions to disapprove the SIPs for interstate ozone transport of 19 states. Relevant to the Registrants, these states include Alabama, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The EPA also proposed to approve Iowa's SIP after re-analyzing the state's data. The EPA must finalize the proposed rules by December 15, 2022. In addition, the EPA must by December 15, 2022, approve or disapprove the interstate plans of Arizona, California, Nevada and Wyoming. On April 15, 2022 the EPA issued its final rule approving Iowa's SIP as meeting the good neighbor provisions for the 2015 ozone standard. On May 24, 2022, the EPA disapprovedproposed to disapprove the Utah and Wyoming interstate ozone SIPs. UntilOn January 30, 2023, the EPA takes final action consistent with this decree, additional impactsentered into a stipulated extension to the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.
deadline for action on the Wyoming SIP, setting a new deadline of December 15, 2023. The EPA explained that the extra time is needed to fully consider updated air quality information and public comments. The EPA is also reevaluating SIPs for Tennessee and Arizona. On February 13, 2023, the EPA published final disapproval of the 19 SIPs proposed in April 2022, setting the stage to include those states in the federal implementation plan described under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule. The EPA also deferred action on the SIPs for Wyoming, Tennessee and Arizona in the final rule. Separately, on March 28, 2022, the EPA proposed determinations as to whether certain areas have achieved levels of ground-level ozone pollution that meet the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS. Relevant to the Registrants, the Southern Wasatch Front in Utah and Yuma, Arizona are proposed to have met the 2015 ozone standard; and the Cincinnati area of Ohio and Kentucky and the Northern Wasatch Front in Utah are proposed to have not met the 2015 ozone willstandard and to be reclassified as Moderate Non-Attainment, and will have until August 3, 2024 to meet the standard. Until the EPA takes final action on the proposal and the affected states submit any required SIPs, the relevant Registrants cannot determine the impacts of the proposed rule.

Cross-State Air Pollution Rule

The EPA promulgated an initial rule in March 2005 to reduce emissions of NOx and SO2, precursors of ozone and particulate matter, from down-wind sources in the eastern U.S., including Iowa, to reduce emissions by implementing a plan based on a market-based cap-and-trade system, emissions reductions, or both. After numerous appeals, the CSAPR was promulgated to address interstate transport of SO2 and NOx emissions in 27 easternEastern and Midwestern states.

46


The first phase of the rule was implemented January 1, 2015. In November 2015, the EPA released a proposed rule that would further reduce NOx emissions in 2017. The final "CSAPR Update Rule" was published in the Federal Register in October 2016 and required additional reductions in NOx emissions beginning in May 2017. On December 6, 2018, the EPA finalized a rule to close out the CSAPR, having determined that the CSAPR Update Rule for the 2008 ozone NAAQS fully addressed Clean Air Act interstate transport obligations of 20 eastern states. The EPA determined that 2023 is an appropriate future analytic year to evaluate remaining good neighbor obligations and that there will be no remaining nonattainment or maintenance receptors with respect to the 2008 ozone NAAQS in the eastern U.S. in that year. Accordingly, the 20 CSAPR Update-affected states would not contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance of, any other state with regard to the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Both the CSAPR Update and the CSAPR Close-Out rules were challenged in the D.C. Circuit. The D.C. Circuit ruled September 13, 2019, that because the EPA allowed upwind states to continue to significantly contribute to downwind air quality problems beyond statutory deadlines, the CSAPR Update Rule provided only a partial remedy that did not fully address interstate ozone transport, and remanded the CSAPR Update Rule back to the EPA. The D.C. Circuit issued an opinion October 1, 2019, finding that because the CSAPR Close-Out Rule relied on the same faulty reasoning as the CSAPR Update Rule, the CSAPR Close-Out Rule must be vacated. On October 15, 2020, the EPA proposed to tighten caps on emissions of NOx from generating facilities in 12 states in the CSAPR trading program in response to the D.C. Circuit's decision to vacate the CSAPR Update Rule. The rule is intended to fully resolve 21 upwind states' remaining good neighbor obligations under the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Additional emissions reductions are required at generating facilities in 12 states, including Illinois; the EPA predicts that emissions from the remaining nine states, including Iowa and Texas, will not significantly contribute to downwind states' ability to attain or maintain the ozone standard. The EPA accepted comment on the proposal through December 15, 2020. On March 15, 2021, the EPA finalized the Revised CSAPR Update Rule largely as proposed. Significant new compliance obligations are not anticipated as a result of the rule. In June 2021, a new lawsuit was filed that challenges the Revised CSAPR Update Rule. Litigation is ongoing in the D.C. Circuit Court. Until litigation is exhausted, the relevant Registrants cannot determine whether additional action may be required.

In March 2022, the EPA released its Good Neighbor Rule, which contains proposed revisions to the CSAPR framework and is intended to address ozone transport for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. In March 2023, the EPA released the final Good Neighbor Rule. The electric generation sector remains the key industry regulated by the rule focusesand will be subject to emissions allowance trading beginning in summer 2023. The final rule shifted the maximum daily backstop rate for coal-fueled generating units, which drives the installation of new controls or curtailment, to take effect in 2030 instead of 2027. PacifiCorp's Hunter Units 1-3 and Huntington Units 1-2, which do not have SCR controls, are impacted by the rule. PacifiCorp's 2023 IRP selected the installation of SNCR on reductionsthe Hunter and Huntington Units by 2026 as part of the preferred portfolio. The level of NOx, precursors allowances for the Utah units remains similar to 2021 levels, with significant reductions for the coal units beginning in 2026. The daily limit, which takes effect in 2030, will further restrict operation of coal-fueled units without SCR. NV Energy's fossil-fueled units are also covered by the final rule. North Valmy Units 1 and 2, which do not have SCR, will require additional controls or reduced operations during the ozone formationseason if operated beyond 2025. Nevada's regional haze SIP has an enforceable retirement date for North Valmy Units 1 and covers 262 of December 31, 2028, and NV Energy's IRP identified a December 31, 2025, retirement date for the units. The EPA's updated modeling suggests that Arizona, Iowa and Kansas may be significantly contributing to nonattainment in downwind states. The EPA intends to undertake additional assessment of its modeling for these states and will determine if it is necessary to address obligations for these states in future actions. The EPA also deferred final action for Wyoming, pending further review of updated air quality and contribution modeling and analysis. Additional notice and comment rulemaking, such as a supplemental rule, would be required to rescind Iowa's approved SIP and incorporate additional states into the program. The states of Nevada, Utah and Wyoming challenged the EPA's denials and deferral, respectively, of their interstate ozone transport SIPs in the Ninth, Tenth and D.C. Circuit Courts of Appeals. PacifiCorp also filed petitions with the court opposing the EPA's action in Utah and Wyoming. At the time of filing, at least 11 other states have challenged the EPA's action to disapprove SIPs in different regional federal courts of appeal. Stays have been granted by four circuit courts for SIP disapprovals in eight states. Relevant to Registrants, the Registrants, four states are included in the cross-state program for the first time - California,of Nevada, Texas and Utah and Wyoming. Iowa is not included in the proposal. In a separate but related action in February 2022, the EPA proposed to approve thewere granted stays. The final good neighbor provisions of Iowa's SIP addressing ozone transportrule was published June 5, 2023 and the 2015 ozone standard.takes effect August 4, 2023. The EPA proposes to retain emissions allowance trading for generating facilities. Beginning in 2023, emissions budgets would be set atissued an interim final rule stating that the level of reductions achievable through immediately available measures such as consistently operating existing emissions controls. Starting in 2026, emissions budgets would be set at levels achievable by the installation of SCR controls at certain generating facilities. The proposal also includes additional industries beyond the power sector for the first time, with a focus on the top NOx emitting stationary source categories. These include natural gas pipeline compressor stations, pulp and paper mills, cement production, iron and steel boilers and furnaces, glass furnaces, chemical manufacturing and petroleum and coal product manufacturing. These sourcesfederal rule will not take effect in states in which the SIP disapprovals have accessbeen deferred or stayed. In addition to tradinglitigation over SIP disapprovals, there are numerous appeals of the final good neighbor rule pending in four different circuit courts, and will insteadat least four motions to stay the final rule have been filed in three different circuit courts. Additional appeals may be subjectfiled prior to rate-based limits that are assigned for each source category. The EPA accepted comments on the proposal through June 21, 2022.rule's August 4, 2023, effective date. Until additional rulemaking is completed and litigation is exhausted, the EPA takes final action consistent with this decree,potential impacts to the relevant Registrants cannot be determined.

For the first time, the EPA included additional sectors beyond the electric generation sector in the 2023 expanded CSAPR program. Relevant to the Registrants, this includes the pipeline transportation of natural gas. Requirements for that sector focus on emissions reductions from reciprocating internal combustion engines involved in the transport of natural gas and take effect in 2026. There is no access to allowance trading for the non-electric generation sectors. The EPA excluded emergency engines and engines that do not operate during the ozone season, included a facility-wide averaging plan and eased requirements for monitoring in the final rule. Northern Natural Gas operates 18 affected units; BHE GT&S operates 157 affected units; and Kern River is not affected by the final rule.

Regional Haze

The EPA's Regional Haze Rule, finalized in 1999, requires states to develop and implement plans to improve visibility in designated federally protected areas ("Class I areas"). Some of PacifiCorp's coal-fueled generating facilities in Utah, Wyoming, Arizona and Colorado and certain of Nevada Power's and Sierra Pacific's fossil-fueled generating facilities are subject to the Clean Air Visibility Rules. In accordance with the federal requirements, states are required to submit periodic SIPs that address emissions from sources subject to BART requirements and demonstrate progress towards achieving natural visibility requirements in Class I areas by 2064.

The state of Utah issued a regional haze SIP requiring the installation of SO2, NOx and particulate matter controls on Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2. In December 2012, the EPA approved the SO2 portion of the Utah regional haze SIP and disapproved the NOx and particulate matter portions. Subsequently, the Utah Division of Air Quality completed an alternative BART analysis for Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2. In January 2016, the EPA published two alternative proposals to either approve the Utah SIP as written or reject the Utah SIP relating to NOx controls and require the installation of SCR equipment at Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2 within five years. The EPA's final action on the Utah regional haze SIP was effective August 4, 2016. The EPA approved in part and disapproved in part the Utah regional haze SIP and issued a FIP requiring the installation of SCR equipment at Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2 within five years of the effective date of the rule. PacifiCorp and other parties filed requests with the EPA to reconsider and stay that decision, as well as filed motions for stay and petitions for review with the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ("Tenth Circuit") asking the court to overturn the EPA's actions. In July 2017, the EPA issued a letter indicating it would reconsider its FIP decision. In light of the EPA's grant of reconsideration and the EPA's position in the litigation, the Tenth Circuit held the litigation in abeyance and imposed a stay of the compliance obligations of the FIP for the number of days the stay is in effect while the EPA conducts its reconsideration process. To support the reconsideration, PacifiCorp undertook additional air quality modeling using the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions dispersion model. On January 14,June 2019, the state of Utah submitted a SIP revision to the EPA, which includes the updated modeling information and additional analysis. On June 24, 2019, the Utah Air Quality Board unanimously voted to approve the Utah regional haze SIP revision, which incorporatesincorporated a BART alternative into Utah'sits SIP for regional haze SIP.planning period one. The BART alternative makes the shutdown of PacifiCorp's Carbon generating facility enforceable under the SIP and removes the requirement to install SCR equipment on Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2. The Utah Division of Air Quality submittedEPA approved the SIP revision towith the EPA for approval at the endBART alternative in October 2020. The EPA's actions also withdrew a prior FIP that required installation of 2019. In January 2020, the EPA published its proposed approval of the Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative, which makes the shutdown of the Carbon generating facility federally enforceable and adopts as BART the existing NOx controls and emission limits on the Hunter and Huntington generating facilities. The proposed approval withdraws the FIP requirements to install SCR equipment on Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2. The EPA released the final rule approving the Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative on October 28, 2020. With the approval, the EPA also finalized its withdrawal of the FIP requirements for the Hunter and Huntington generating facilities. The Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative took effect December 28, 2020. As a result of these actions, the Tenth Circuit dismissed the Utah regional haze petitions on January 11, 2021. On January 19, 2021, Heal Utah, National Parks Conservation Association, Sierra Club and Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment filed a petition for review of the Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative in the Tenth Circuit. The EPA defended the SIP, and PacifiCorp and the state of Utah moved to interveneintervened in the litigation. After reviewlitigation in support of the ruleEPA. Oral arguments in HEAL Utah v. EPA were held March 21, 2023. A final decision from the court is expected by the Biden administration, the EPA determined it would defend the rule, and briefing has been completed. A date for oral arguments has not been scheduled. The Utah Air Quality Board approved the Utah Division of Air Quality's SIP for the regional haze second planning period on June 6, 2022. The SIP sets mass-based NOx emissions limits and rate-based SO2 limits for PacifiCorp's Hunter and Huntington generating facilities to ensure reasonable visibility progress for the second planning period.fall 2023.

The state of Wyoming issued two regional haze SIPs requiring the installation of SO2, NOx and particulate matter controls on certain PacifiCorp coal-fueled generating facilities in Wyoming. The EPA approved the SO2 SIP in December 2012 and the EPA's approval was upheld on appeal by the Tenth Circuit in October 2014. In addition, the EPA initially proposed in June 2012 to disapprove portions of the NOx and particulate matter SIP and instead issue a FIP. The EPA withdrew its initial proposed actions on the NOx and particulate matter SIP and the proposed FIP, published a re-proposed rule in June 2013, and finalized its determination in January 2014, which aligns more closely with the SIP proposed by the state of Wyoming. The EPA's final action other parts of on the Wyoming SIP in 2014 approved the state's plan to have PacifiCorp install low-NOx burners at Naughton Units 1 and 2, SCR controls at Naughton Unit 3 by December 2014, SCR controls at Jim Bridger Units 1 through 4 between 2015 and 2022, and low-NOx burners at Dave Johnston Unit 4. The EPA disapproved a portion of the Wyoming SIP and issued a FIP for Dave Johnston Unit 3, where it required the installation of SCR controls by 2019 or, in lieu of installing SCR controls, a commitment to shut down Dave Johnston Unit 3 by 2027, its currently approved depreciable life. The EPA also disapproved a portion of the Wyoming SIP and issued a FIP for the Wyodak coal-fueled generating facility, requiring the installation of SCR controls within five years (i.e., by 2019). The EPA action became final on March 3, 2014.2019. PacifiCorp filed an appeal of the EPA's final action on Wyodak in March 2014. The state of Wyoming and several environmental groups also filed an appeal of the EPA's final action, as did the Powder River Basin Resource Council, National Parks Conservation Association and Sierra Club.action. In September 2014, the Tenth Circuit issued a stay of the March 2019 compliance deadline for Wyodak, pending further action by the Tenth Circuit in the appeal. The EPA, U.S. Department of Justice, state ofparties worked to mediate claims under the Wyoming and PacifiCorp executed a settlement agreement December 16, 2020, removingregional haze requirements until the requirement to install SCR in lieu of monthly and annual NOx emissions limits. The settlement agreement was subject to a comment period which ended July 6, 2021. The EPA did not give final approval to the settlement agreement and parties were unable to reach an agreement through mediation. The abatement on litigation was lifted in September 28, 2022, and opening2022. Opening briefs are duewere submitted in October 28, 2022. In the litigation, PacifiCorp objects to the EPA's FIP requiring SCR on the Wyodak Unit. That requirement in the agency's plan remains stayed by the court. PacifiCorp has also intervened on behalf of the EPA against claims that Naughton Units 1 and 2 at the Naughton generating facility should have been subject to a SCR requirement. On February 5, 2019,Oral argument was held May 16, 2023. PacifiCorp submittedargued that the Naughton claims are moot but that a reasonable progress reassessment permit application and reasonable progress determination for Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2, seeking a rescission of the December 2017 permit requiring the installation of SCR, to be replaced with a permit imposing plant-wide emission limits to achieve better modeled visibility, fewer overall environmental impacts and lower costs of compliance. In May 2020, the Wyoming Air Quality Division issued a permit approving PacifiCorp's monthly and annual NOx and SO2 emission limitscourt ruling on the four Jim Bridger units and submitted a regional haze SIP revision toWyodak claims is necessary because the EPA. The revised SIP would grant approval of PacifiCorp's Jim Bridger reasonable progress reassessment application and incorporates PacifiCorp's proposed emission limits in lieu of the requirement to install SCR systems on Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2. On December 27, 2021, Wyoming's governor issued an emergency suspension order under Section 110(g) ofEPA's federal plan complies with the Clean Air Act, allowingAct. A final decision from the operation of Jim Bridger Unit 2 through April 30, 2022, while the state, the EPA and PacifiCorp continue settlement discussions. On January 18, 2022, the EPA proposed to reject the SIP revisions. The EPA took commentcourt is expected by late fall 2023. Separately, on the proposal through February 17, 2022. On February 14, 2022, the First Judicial District Court for the State of Wyoming entered a consent decree reached between the state of Wyoming and PacifiCorp under Sections 201 and 209(a) of the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act, resolving claims of threatened violations of the Clean Air Act, the Wyoming Environmental Quality Act and the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations at the Jim Bridger facility. No penalties were imposed under the consent decree. Consistent with the terms and conditions of the consent decree, and as forecasted in PacifiCorp's 2021 IRP, PacifiCorp must convert both unitsJim Bridger Units 1 and 2 to natural gas and begin meeting emissions limits consistent with that conversion by January 1, 2024. In addition, PacifiCorp must propose an RFP by January 1, 2023, for carbon capture technology at Jim Bridger Units 3 and 4. Wyoming issued its proposed implementation plan for second planning period reasonable progress on February 18, 2022 and accepted comments through March 23, 2022. The EPA and PacifiCorp executed an administrative order on consent June 9, 2022, covering compliance for Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2 under the regional haze rule. The federal order contains the same emission and operating limits as the Wyoming consent decree and adds federal approval of the compliance pathway outlined in the state consent decree, including revision of the SIP to include conversion of Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2 to natural gas. The order includes a one-year deadline to completeOn December 30, 2022, the SIP revision. The proposed SIP revision reflecting these agreements is currently being evaluated under parallel processes by the state of Wyoming and the EPA. The Wyoming Department of EnvironmentalAir Quality Division submitted the state-approved revised regional haze SIP requiring natural gas conversion of Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2 proposed SIPto the EPA for approval. The plan revision to federal land managersreplaces a previous requirement for a 60-day consultation on June 7, 2022.SCR at the units. The Wyoming held a public hearingAir Quality Division also issued an air permit for the Bridgernatural gas conversion of Jim Bridger Units 1 and 2 on December 28, 2022. PacifiCorp submitted a notice of compliance to the EPA on March 9, 2023, to certify completion of the Jim Bridger administrative compliance order through completion of the requirements to comply with Wyoming's consent decree and revised SIP revision on September 14, 2022,submission. PacifiCorp remains subject to the compliance terms of the Wyoming consent decree as it works to convert Jim Bridger Units 1 and accepted public comments2 to natural gas. The EPA is in on-going discussions with Wyoming to finalize a determination on the plan through September 20, 2022. For the second round of regional haze planning, Wyoming determined that no controls will be necessary on any Wyoming resources to make reasonable progress.SIP revisions, with a decision anticipated by fall 2023.

In February 2022, NV Energy received 30-day notice letters from the Nevada DivisionThe state of Environmental Protection regarding the reopeningColorado first planning period regional haze SIP requires SCR equipment at Craig Unit 2 and revision of the Valmy and Tracy Generating Station's Title V air quality operating permits to add federally enforceable retirement dates of December 31, 2028 for ValmyHayden Units 1 and 2, in which PacifiCorp has ownership interests. Each of those regional haze compliance projects are in-service. In addition, in February 2015, the state of Colorado finalized an amendment to its regional haze SIP relating to Craig Unit 1, in which PacifiCorp has an ownership interest, to require the installation of SCR controls by 2021. In September 2016, the owners of Craig Units 1 and 2 reached an agreement with state and federal agencies and certain environmental groups that were parties to the previous settlement requiring SCR to retire Unit 1 by December 31, 2031 for Tracy Unit 4.2025, in lieu of SCR installation, or alternatively to remove the unit from coal-fueled service by August 31, 2021, with an option to convert the unit to natural gas by August 31, 2023, in lieu of SCR installation. The enforceable retirement dates will implement Nevada's SIP forterms of the agreement were approved by the Colorado Air Quality Board in December 2016, incorporated into an amended Colorado regional haze second planning period. The revised permits were receivedSIP in March2017 and April 2022. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection accepted public comment onapproved by the EPA in August 2018. PacifiCorp identified a December 31, 2025, retirement date for Craig Unit 1 in its SIP through July 25, 2022.2023 IRP.

Nevada, Utah and Wyoming each submitted regional haze SIPs for the regional haze second planning period to the EPA and received completeness determinations in August 2022. The EPA has 18 monthsis required to approve or disapprove all or parts ofmake final determinations on the states' plans.SIPs by August 2023. On August 25, 2022, the EPA promulgated a finding of failure to submit a SIP for the regional haze second planning period for 15 states, including Iowa. The finding establishes a two-year deadline for the agency to promulgate FIPs to address the requirements, unless prior to promulgating a FIP, the state submits, and the agency approves, a SIP meeting the requirements. The finding says the agency intends to continue to work with states in developing approvable SIP submittals in a timely manner. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources continues to work with the EPA on development of its SIP. On February 13, 2023, Iowa issued a draft SIP and accepted comment on the draft plan through March 16, 2023. Iowa proposes to require operational improvements to existing control equipment at MidAmerican Energy's Louisa Generation Station and Walter Scott Jr. Energy Center - Unit 3. Iowa anticipates submitting a final plan to the EPA in fall 2023.

Water Quality Standards

In November 2015, the EPA published final effluent limitation guidelines and standards for the steam electric power generating sector which, among other things, regulate the discharge of bottom ash transport water, fly ash transport water, combustion residual leachate and non-chemical metal cleaning wastes. In November 2019, the EPA proposed updates to the 2015 rule, specifically addressing flue gas desulfurization wastewater and bottom ash transport water. The rule took effect in December 2020. The final rule changes the technology-basis for treatment of flue gas desulfurization wastewater and bottom ash transport water, revises the voluntary incentives program for flue gas desulfurization wastewater, and adds subcategories for high-flow units, low utilization units, and those that will transition away from coal combustion by 2028. While most of the issues raised by this rule are already being addressed through the CCR rule and are not expected to impose significant additional requirements, the Dave Johnston generating facility is impacted by the rule's bottom ash handling requirements at Units 1 and 2. The generating facility submitted notice to the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality that it will either achieve a cessation of coal combustion at Units 1 and 2 by December 31, 2028, or install bottom ash transport treatment technology by December 31, 2025. On March 8, 2023, the EPA proposed additional changes to the effluent limitations guidelines to replace the 2020 rule and provide stricter limits for bottom ash transport water, flue gas desulfurization wastewater and coal combustion residual leachate. The relevant Registrants use a combination of zero discharge, enrollment in cessation-of-coal subcategory and dry bottom ash handling to manage the affected wastestreams. As a result, significant impacts are not anticipated. However, until the EPA takes final action on the proposal, the full impacts of the rule cannot be determined. The EPA accepted public comments through May 30, 2023, and intends to finalize a rule by spring 2024.

In March 2023, the latest changes to the definition of "waters of the U.S.," a rule that determines which waters are regulated under the federal Clean Water Act, took effect. Under this rule, tributaries, many wetlands, intrastate lakes, intrastate ponds, intrastate streams and some impoundments must meet either test from the 2006 Rapanos plurality decision to be considered a water of the U.S. That is, a water must be relatively permanent and have a continuous surface connection to an included waterbody (the "relatively permanent" test) or it must significantly affect the biological, physical or chemical integrity of a traditional navigable water, territorial seas or interstate waters (the "significant nexus" test). The rule was challenged in multiple courts. On May 23, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in Sackett v. EPA, a case that challenged the Clean Water Act's applicability to certain wetlands. In its decision, the Court significantly narrowed protections for wetlands and intermittent streams under the federal Clean Water Act. The Court unanimously rejected the significant nexus test as unworkable. A divided Court determined that jurisdiction applies to waters that are adjacent to traditional interstate navigable waters and that have a continuous surface connection with that traditional interstate navigable waters. In light of the Sackett decision, the EPA secured stays of litigation over its definitional rule in two of three pending challenges in order to conduct rulemaking to conform to the Court's decision. The EPA sent a new final definition rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget on July 17, 2023, and has stated it intends to issue the new rule by September 1, 2023.

Coal Ash Disposal

In April 2015, the EPA released a final rule to regulate the management and disposal of coal combustion residuals (CCR) under the RCRA. The rule regulates coal combustion byproducts as non-hazardous waste under RCRA Subtitle D and establishes minimum nationwide standards for the disposal of CCR. Under the final rule, surface impoundments and landfills utilized for coal combustion byproducts will need to be closed unless they can meet the more stringent regulatory requirements.

53


At the time the rule was published in April 2015, PacifiCorp operated 18 surface impoundments and seven landfills that contained coal combustion byproducts. Prior to the effective date of the rule in October 2015, nine surface impoundments and three landfills were either closed or repurposed to no longer receive coal combustion byproducts and hence are not subject to the final rule. As PacifiCorp proceeded to implement the final coal combustion rule, it was determined that two surface impoundments located at the Dave Johnston generating facility were hydraulically connected and effectively constitute a single impoundment. In November 2017, a new surface impoundment was placed into service at the Naughton Generating Station. At the time the rule was published in April 2015, MidAmerican Energy owned or operated nine surface impoundments and four landfills that contain coal combustion byproducts. Prior to the effective date of the rule in October 2015, MidAmerican Energy closed or repurposed six surface impoundments to no longer receive coal combustion byproducts. Five of these surface impoundments were closed on or before December 21, 2017, and the sixth is undergoing closure. At the time the rule was published in April 2015, the Nevada Utilities operated 10 evaporative surface impoundments and two landfills that contained coal combustion byproducts. Prior to the effective date of the rule in October 2015, the Nevada Utilities closed four of the surface impoundments, four impoundments discontinued receipt of coal combustion byproducts making them inactive and two surface impoundments remain active and subject to the final rule. The two landfills remain active and subject to the final rule.

Multiple parties filed challenges over various aspects of the final rule in the D.C. Circuit, resulting in settlement of some of the issues and subsequent regulatory action by the EPA. The EPA finalized the first phase of the CCR rule amendments in July 2018 (the "Phase 1, Part 1 rule"). In addition to adopting alternative performance standards and revising groundwater performance standards for certain constituents, the EPA extended the deadline by which facilities must initiate closure of unlined ash ponds exceeding a groundwater protection standard and impoundments that do not meet the rule's aquifer location restrictions to October 31, 2020. Following submittal of competing motions from environmental groups and the EPA to stay or remand this deadline extension, on March 13, 2019, the D.C. Circuit granted the EPA's request to remand the rule and left the October 31, 2020, deadline in place while the agency undertakes a new rulemaking establishing a new deadline for initiating closure. On August 14, 2019, the EPA released its "Phase 2" proposal, which contains targeted amendments to the CCR rule in response to court remands and EPA settlement agreements, as well as issues raised in a rulemaking petition. The Phase 2 rule has not been finalized. In February 2020, the EPA proposed a federal CCR permit program as required by the WIIN Act of 2016. The federal permit rule has not been finalized.

In October 2020, the EPA released an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking on legacy CCR surface impoundments, seeking comment on and information related to issues relevant to development of regulations for legacy impoundments. On May 18, 2023, the EPA proposed the legacy surface impoundments rule and accepted comment on the proposal through July 17, 2023. The proposal encompasses legacy surface impoundments, which are inactive surface impoundments at inactive facilities; and CCR management units, which include CCR surface impoundments and landfills that closed prior to October 19, 2015, inactive CCR landfills, and other areas where CCR has been or is managed directly on the land. CCR management units include all units meeting that definition at active CCR facilities, as well as those at inactive facilities with one or more legacy surface impoundment. EPA proposes the impose substantially the same regulatory obligations for both legacy surface impoundments and CCR management units as are applicable to currently regulated units, including groundwater monitoring and corrective action. All legacy surface impoundments and CCR management units would be required to initiate closure, including reclosure, within one year after the rule is finalized. The EPA has indicated it intends to finalize the legacy surface impoundment rule by spring 2024.

The EPA includes lists of potential legacy surface impoundments and CCR management units in the rulemaking docket and those lists include several BHE facilities. The EPA also specifically identifies PacifiCorp's Huntington Power Plant and NV Energy's Reid Gardner Generating Station as potential CCR management unit damage cases based on the EPA's review of compliance information. BHE corrected the record in comments that: (1) The north and south ash ponds at MidAmerican's Riverside Generating Station are incorrectly classified as legacy impoundments rather than CCR management units; (2) historical impoundments, which were closed according to state requirements and no longer contain CCR or liquids, should be removed from the list of CCR management units; (3) the EPA erroneously identified NV Energy's Reid Gardner Generating Station and the Old Landfill at PacifiCorp's Huntington generating facility as potential damage cases; and (4) two impoundments at PacifiCorp's former Carbon generating facility are incorrectly included on the list of legacy impoundments because PacifiCorp never managed or disposed of CCR materials in wastewater ponds at the former Carbon generating facility.

Until the proposals are finalized and fully litigated, the Registrants cannot determine whether additional action may be required.

In August 2020, the EPA finalized its Holistic Approach to Closure: Part A rule ("Part A rule"). This proposal addressed the D.C. Circuit's revocation of the provisions that allow unlined impoundments to continue receiving ash. The Part A rule established a new deadline of April 11, 2021, by which all unlined surface impoundments must initiate closure. The Part A rule also identifies two extensions to that date: (1) a site-specific extension to develop alternate disposal capacity and initiate closure by October 15, 2023; and (2) a site-specific extension for facilities that agree to shut down the coal-fueled unit and complete ash pond closure activities by October 17, 2028. PacifiCorp developed a demonstration for the development of alternative capacity for the Jim Bridger facility's FGD Pond 2 and a demonstration for closure of the Naughton facility and ash pond and submitted them to the EPA in November 2020. On January 11, 2022, the EPA deemed these submittals complete but has not taken additional action on them. No other Registrants used the provisions of the Part A rule.

Notwithstanding the status of the final CCR rule, citizens' suits have been filed against regulated entities seeking judicial relief for contamination alleged to have been caused by releases of coal combustion byproducts. Some of these cases have been successful in imposing liability upon companies if coal combustion byproducts contaminate groundwater that is ultimately released or connected to surface water. In addition, actions have been filed against regulated entities seeking to require that surface impoundments containing CCR be subject to closure by removal rather than being allowed to effectuate closure in place as provided under the final rule. The Registrants are not a party to these lawsuits and until they are resolved, the Registrants cannot predict the impact on overall compliance obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of the Company's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. There have been no significant changes in the Company's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2021.2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

PacifiCorp

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PacifiCorp and subsidiaries ("PacifiCorp") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, and changes in shareholders' equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and of cash flows for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021, and of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022, and 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of PacifiCorp as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of PacifiCorp's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to PacifiCorp in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

PacifiCorp owns, or has interests in, a number of thermal, hydroelectric, wind-powered and geothermal generating facilities, as well as electric transmission and distribution assets. PacifiCorp also buys and sells electricity on the wholesale market with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants.

PacifiCorp is an indirect subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"), a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, and for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) have been omitted as net income (loss) materially equals comprehensive income (loss) for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The results of operations for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022 and 20212023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, other than the updates associated with PacifiCorp's estimates of loss contingencies related to the Oregon and Northern California 2020 wildfires (the "2020 Wildfires") and the 2022 McKinney fire as discussed in Note 9.

(2)    Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

(5)    Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 of 91% results from a $140 million income tax benefit associated with a $154 million pre-tax loss primarily resulting from the $408 million pre-tax loss associated with the 2020 Wildfires described in Note 9. The $140 million income tax benefit is primarily comprised of a $32 million benefit (21%) from the application of the federal statutory income tax rate to the pre-tax loss, a $55 million benefit (36%) from federal income tax credits and a $34 million benefit (22%) from effects of ratemaking.

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income (loss) before income tax benefitexpense (benefit) is as follows:

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTCs"PTC") from PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the nine-monththree-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021 totaled $127$26 million and $133$18 million, respectively. PTCs recognized for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, totaled $55 million and $44 million, respectively.

For the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023, PacifiCorp released an $11 million valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carryforwards. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, PacifiCorp recorded aan $8 million valuation allowance related to state net operating loss carryforwards.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and its subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, PacifiCorp's provision for federal and state income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE.For the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, PacifiCorp received net cash payments for federal and state income tax from BHE totaling $194$205 million and $109$150 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, net income taxes payable to BHE were $55 million. As of December 31, 2022, net income taxes receivable from BHE were $84 million.

(7)    Risk Management and Hedging Activities

PacifiCorp is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. PacifiCorp is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk as it has an obligation to serve retail customer load in its service territories. PacifiCorp's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. PacifiCorp does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities.

60


PacifiCorp has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage and report on each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, PacifiCorp uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. PacifiCorp manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, PacifiCorp may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate PacifiCorp's exposure to interest rate risk. No interest rate derivatives were in place during the periods presented. PacifiCorp does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on derivative contracts.

Credit Risk

PacifiCorp is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent PacifiCorp's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, PacifiCorp analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, PacifiCorp enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtains third‑party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, PacifiCorp exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

Collateral and Contingent Features

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or. These agreements and other agreements that do not refer to specified rating-dependent threshold levels may provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by the counterparty. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, PacifiCorp's issuer credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

The aggregate fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $37$58 million and $48 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, for which PacifiCorp had posted collateral of $— million, and $5 million, respectively, in the form of cash deposits. If all credit-risk-related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $7$35 million and $23$3 million, respectively, of additional collateral. PacifiCorp's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of PacifiCorp's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. PacifiCorp has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PacifiCorp has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
68


Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect PacifiCorp's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. PacifiCorp develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

The following table presents PacifiCorp's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. A discounted cash flow valuation method was used to estimate fair value. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which PacifiCorp transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, PacifiCorp uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent PacifiCorp's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. PacifiCorp bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent energy brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by PacifiCorp. Market price quotations for certain major electricity and natural gas trading hubs are generally readily obtainable for the first three years; therefore, PacifiCorp's forward price curves for those locations and periods reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for other electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable for the first three years. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, PacifiCorp uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion regarding PacifiCorp's risk management and hedging activities.

PacifiCorp's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, PacifiCorp uses a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.

69


PacifiCorp's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of PacifiCorp's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of PacifiCorp's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

64Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project


In November 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") issued a license surrender order for the Lower Klamath Project, which was accepted by the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC") and the states of Oregon and California ("States") in December 2022, along with the transfer of the Lower Klamath Project dams. Although PacifiCorp no longer owns the Lower Klamath Project, PacifiCorp will continue to operate the facilities under an operation and maintenance agreement with the KRRC until each facility is ready for removal. Removal of the Copco No. 2 facility began in June 2023, and removal of the remaining three dams (J.C. Boyle, Copco No. 1 and Iron Gate) is anticipated to begin in 2024. The KRRC has $450 million in funding available for dam removal and restoration; $200 million collected from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers and $250 million in California bond funds. PacifiCorp and the States have also agreed to equally share cost overruns that may occur above the initial $450 million in funding. Specifically, PacifiCorp and the States have agreed to equally fund an initial $45 million contingency fund and equally share any additional costs above that amount to ensure dam removal and restoration is complete.

Legal Matters

PacifiCorp is party to a variety of legal actions, including litigation, arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. PacifiCorp does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results. PacifiCorp is also involved in other kinds of legal actions,business, some of which assert orclaims for damages in substantial amounts and are described below. For certain legal actions, parties at times may assert claims or seek to impose fines, penalties and other costs in substantial amounts and are described below.costs.

Wildfire Liability
70


Wildfires Overview

A provision for a loss contingency is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liabilityloss can be reasonably estimated. PacifiCorp evaluates which potential liabilities are probable and the related range of reasonably estimated losses and records a charge that reflectsloss based on its best estimate within that range or the lower end of the range if there is no better estimate.

In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages from wildfires without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could nevertheless be found liable for all damages proximately caused by negligence, including real and personal property and natural resource damages; fire suppression costs; personal injury and loss of life damages; and interest.damages.

2020 Wildfires

In September 2020, a severe weather event resulting in high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, which resulted in real and personal property and natural resource damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon, burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate. Third partyThird-party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures destroyed, including residences; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities. Fire suppression costs estimated by various agencies total approximately $150 million.

Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and being conducted by various entities, including the United StatesU.S. Forest Service, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp.

As of the date of this filing, 60numerous lawsuits on behalf of plaintiffs related to the 2020 Wildfires have been filed in Oregon and California, including a class action complaint in Oregon on behalf offor which the jury issued a verdict for the 17 named plaintiffs related to the 2020 Wildfires.in June 2023 as described below. The plaintiffs seek damages that include property damages,for economic losses, noneconomic losses, including mental suffering, emotional distress, personal injury and loss of life, punitive damages, exemplaryother damages and attorneys' fees and other damages. Additionally, severalfees. Several insurance carriers have filed subrogation complaints in Oregon and California with allegations similar to those made in the aforementioned lawsuits. The finalAdditionally, certain governmental agencies have informed PacifiCorp that they are contemplating filing actions in connection with certain of the Oregon 2020 Wildfires. Amounts sought in the lawsuits, complaints and demands filed in Oregon total over $7 billion, excluding any doubling or trebling of damages included in the complaints. Generally, the complaints filed in California do not specify damages sought and are not included in this amount. Final determinations of liability however, will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations, and litigation processes.or similar processes, the outcome of which, if adverse, could, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition.

AsOn September 30, 2020, a class action complaint against PacifiCorp was filed, captioned Jeanyne James et al. v. PacifiCorp et al, in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Oregon (the "James case"). The complaint was filed by Oregon residents and businesses who seek to represent a class of all Oregon citizens and entities whose real or personal property was harmed beginning on September 7, 2020, by wildfires in Oregon allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. In November 2021, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint to limit the class to include Oregon citizens allegedly impacted by the Santiam Canyon, Echo Mountain Complex, South Obenchain and Two Four Two wildfires. In May 2022, the Multnomah County Circuit Court granted issue class certification and consolidated the James case with several other cases. While PacifiCorp requested an immediate appeal of the issue class certification, the Oregon Court of Appeals denied the request. In April 2023, the jury trial for the James case with respect to 17 named plaintiffs began in Multnomah County Circuit Court. In June 2023, the jury issued its verdict finding PacifiCorp liable to the 17 individual plaintiffs and to the class with respect to the four wildfires. The jury awarded the 17 named plaintiffs $90 million of damages, including $4 million of economic and property damages, $68 million of noneconomic damages and $18 million of punitive damages based on a 0.25 multiplier of the economic and noneconomic damages. No judgment has been entered by the Multnomah County Circuit Court and no determination has been made as to the timing, process and procedures that will be used to adjudicate individual class member damages. PacifiCorp intends to vigorously appeal the jury's findings and damage awards, including whether the case can proceed as a class action. The appeals process and further actions could take several years.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, PacifiCorp accrued $64 million ofcumulative estimated probable losses net of expected insurance recoveries, associated with the 2020 Wildfires. TheWildfires of $1,018 million through June 30, 2023. PacifiCorp's cumulative accrual includes PacifiCorp's estimateestimates of probable losses for fire suppression costs, real and personal property damages, natural resource damages for certain areas and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages that are considered probable of being incurred and that it is reasonably able to estimate at this time. For certain aspects of the 2020 Wildfires for which loss is considered probable, information necessary to reasonably estimate the potential losses, such as those related to certain areas of natural resource damages, is not currently available.

It is reasonably possible PacifiCorp will incur material additional losses beyond the amounts accrued;accrued that could have a material adverse effect on PacifiCorp's financial condition; however, PacifiCorp is currently unable to reasonably estimate the range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved, andincluding claimants in the class to the James case, the variation in those types of properties and lack of available details.

2022 McKinney Fire

According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, ("Cal Fire"), on July 29, 2022, at approximately 2:16 p.m. Pacific Time, a wildfire began in the Oak Knoll Ranger District of the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County, California (the "2022 McKinney Fire") located in PacifiCorp's service territory. The Cal Fire McKinney Fire incident report last updated September 8, 2022 (the "Cal Fire incident report") indicatesThird-party reports indicate that the 2022 McKinney Fire resulted in 11 structures damaged, 185 structures destroyed, 12 injuries and 4 fatalities. According to InciWeb, an interagency all-risk incident information management system, the 2022 McKinney Firefour fatalities and consumed 60,13860,000 acres. The cause of the 2022 McKinney Fire is undetermined and remains under investigation by the United StatesU.S. Forest Service.

Due to the preliminary nature of the investigation, PacifiCorp does not believe a loss is probable and therefore has not accrued any loss as of the date of this filing. While the loss is not probable, PacifiCorp estimates the potential loss, excluding losses for natural resource damages, to be $31 million, net of expected insurance recoveries. The loss estimate includes PacifiCorp's estimate of losses for fire suppression costs; real and personal property damages; and noneconomic damages such as personal injury damages and loss of life damages. PacifiCorp is unable to estimate the total potential loss, including losses for natural resource damages, because there are a number of unknown facts and legal considerations that may impact the amount of any potential liability, including the total scope and nature of claims that may be asserted against PacifiCorp. PacifiCorp has insurance available and estimates the potential insurance recoveries to be $103 million, to cover potential losses.

As of the date of this filing, multiple lawsuits have been filed in California on behalf of plaintiffs related to the 2022 McKinney Fire. The plaintiffs seek damages that include property damages,for economic losses, noneconomic losses, including mental suffering, emotional distress, personal injury and loss of life, punitive damages, exemplaryother damages and attorneys' fees, and other damages but the amount of damages sought areis not specified. The finalFinal determinations of liability, however, will only be made following the completion of comprehensive investigations and litigation processes.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

PacifiCorp is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air and water quality, renewable portfolio standards, emissions performance standards, climate change, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact PacifiCorp's current and future operations. PacifiCorp believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Hydroelectric Relicensing

PacifiCorp is a party to the 2016 amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement ("KHSA"), which is intended to resolve disputes surrounding PacifiCorp's efforts to relicense the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. The KHSA establishes a process for PacifiCorp, the states of Oregon and California ("States") and other stakeholders to assess whether dam removal can occur consistent with the settlement's terms. For PacifiCorp, the key elements of the settlement include: (1) a contribution from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers capped at $200 million plus $250 million in California bond funds; (2) complete indemnification from harms associated with dam removal; (3) transfer of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") license to a third-party dam removal entity, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC"), who would conduct dam removal; and (4) ability for PacifiCorp to operate the facilities for the benefit of customers until dam removal commences.

6672


In September 2016, the KRRC and PacifiCorp filed a joint application with the FERC to transfer the license for the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC. The FERC approved partial transfer of the Klamath license in a July 2020 order, subject to the condition that PacifiCorp remains co-licensee. Under the amended KHSA, PacifiCorp did not agree to remain co-licensee during the surrender and removal process given concerns about liability protections for PacifiCorp and its customers. In November 2020, PacifiCorp entered a memorandum of agreement (the "MOA") with the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States to continue implementation of the KHSA. The agreement required the States, PacifiCorp and KRRC to file a new license transfer application to remove PacifiCorp from the license for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project and add the States and KRRC as co-licensees for the purposes of surrender. In addition, the MOA provides for additional contingency funding of $45 million, equally split between PacifiCorp and the States, and for PacifiCorp and the States to equally share in any additional cost overruns in the unlikely event that dam removal costs exceed the $450 million in funding to ensure dam removal is complete. The MOA also requires PacifiCorp to cover the costs associated with certain pre-existing environmental conditions. In June 2021, the FERC approved transfer of the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC and the States as co-licensees. In July 2021, the Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho and California state public utility commissions conditionally approved the required property transfer applications. In August 2021, PacifiCorp notified the Public Service Commission of Utah of the property transfer, however no formal approval is required in Utah. The transfer will be effective within 30 days following the issuance of a license surrender from the FERC for the project, which remains pending. In August 2022, the FERC staff issued a final environmental impact statement for the project, concluding that dam removal is the preferred action.

Guarantees

PacifiCorp has entered into guarantees as part of the normal course of business and the sale or transfer of certain assets. These guarantees are not expected to have a material impact on PacifiCorp's consolidated financial results.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of PacifiCorp during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with PacifiCorp's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q. PacifiCorp's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the ThirdSecond Quarter and First NineSix Months of 20222023 and 20212022

Overview

Net income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 was $409$106 million, an increase of $77$24 million or 23%, compared to 2021. Net2022 net income increasedof $82 million. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher utility margin, lower other expense and higher income tax benefit, partially offset by increased operations and maintenance expense primarily driven by higher wildfire mitigation costs and legal fees. Utility margin was relatively flat at $2 million favorable primarily due to higher retail prices, lower coal-fueled generation volumes, higher net power costs deferrals and lower natural gas-fueled generation prices, partially offset by higher purchased electricity costs from higher volumes and prices, lower wholesale volumes, higher coal-fueled generation prices, lower retail volumes, lower wheeling revenue and higher natural gas-fueled generation volumes. Retail customer volumes decreased 2.2%, primarily due to lower customer usage, partially offset by an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated decreased 22% for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to lower coal-fueled and wind-powered generation volumes, partially offset by higher natural gas-fueled and hydroelectric generation volumes. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 52% and purchased electricity volumes increased 45%.

Net loss for the first six months of 2023 was $14 million, a decrease of $226 million compared to 2022 net income of $212 million. The decrease in net income was primarily due to increased operations and maintenance expense largely due to an increase to estimated losses associated with the 2020 Wildfires, net of expected insurance recoveries, partially offset by higher general and plant maintenance costsincome tax benefit, lower other expense and higher depreciation and amortization expense.utility margin. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail prices and volumes, higher net power cost deferrals, lower coal-fueled generation volumes and higher average wholesale market prices, and lower thermal generation volumes, partially offset by higher purchased electricity costs from higher volumes and prices, higher natural gas-fueled generation costs from higher prices and volumes, lower wholesale volumes and higher natural gascoal-fueled generation prices. Retail customer volumes increased 3.5%0.6%, primarily due to favorable impacts of weather, higher commercial and residential customer usage and an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by a decrease inlower industrial and irrigation customer usage. Energy generated decreased 5%14% for the third quarterfirst six months of 20222023 compared to 20212022 primarily due to lower coal-fueled, wind-powered and natural gas-fueledhydroelectric generation volumes, partially offset by higher hydroelectric generation.natural gas-fueled volumes. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 5%49% and purchased electricity volumes increased 32%.

Net income for the first nine months of 2022 was $621 million, a decrease of $105 million, or 14%, compared to 2021 primarily due to higher operations and maintenance expense largely due to an increase to the wildfire damage provision and higher general and plant maintenance costs, higher depreciation and amortization expense and lower income tax benefit, partially offset by higher utility margin and lower other expense. Utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail prices and volumes, higher net power cost deferrals, higher average wholesale market prices, lower thermal generation volumes, lower purchased electricity prices and higher wheeling revenues, partially offset by higher purchased electricity volumes, higher natural gas and coal prices and lower wind-based ancillary revenues. Retail customer volumes increased 0.8%, primarily due to an increase in the average number of customers and favorable impacts of weather, partially offset by a decrease in customer usage. Energy generated decreased 4% for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to lower coal-fueled and natural gas-fueled generation, partially offset by higher wind-powered and hydroelectric generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 2% and purchased electricity volumes increased 17%37%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Utility margin is calculated as operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

PacifiCorp's cost of fuel and energy is generally recovered from its customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in PacifiCorp's revenue are comparable to changes in such expenses. As such, management believes utility margin more appropriately and concisely explains profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of fuel and energy separately. Management believes the presentation of utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.

PacifiCorp's 2021 IRP identified a roadmapPacifiCorp has included estimates for a significant increase innew renewable and carbon-freecarbon free generation resources, coal-to-natural gas conversion of certain coal-fueled units to natural gas-fueled units, energy storage and associated transmission. PacifiCorp's 2021 IRP identified over 1,800 MWs of new wind-powered generating resources that are expected to be online by 2025. PacifiCorp anticipates that the additional new wind-powered generation will be a mixture of owned and contracted resources. PacifiCorp has included an estimate for these new generation resourcesassets and associated transmission assets in its forecast capital expenditures for 2022 through 2024.based on its IRP. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the associated RFP process. PacifiCorp's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

Energy Supply Planning

As required by certain state regulations, PacifiCorp uses an IRP to develop a long-term resource plan to ensure that PacifiCorp can continue to provide reliable and cost-effective electric service to its customers while maintaining compliance with existing and evolving environmental laws and regulations. PacifiCorp files its IRP biennially with the state commissions in each of the six states where PacifiCorp operates. Five states indicate whether the IRP meets the state commission's IRP standards and guidelines, a process referred to as "acknowledgment" in some states. Acknowledgment by a state commission does not address cost recovery or prudency of resources ultimately selected.

In September 2021,March 2023, PacifiCorp filed its 20212023 IRP with its state commissionsin Idaho, Oregon and subsequentlyWyoming. The March 2023 filing was considered informational in Utah. A 60-day post-filing extended comment period was added to the 2023 IRP to provide opportunity for additional stakeholder feedback. Responsive to feedback from the extended comment period, PacifiCorp filed its 20212023 IRP Update(Amended Final) report on May 31, 2023.

The 2023 IRP is off cycle with regard to Washington's four-year IRP cycle and has instead been filed in March and April 2022. In March 2022, the OPUC acknowledged PacifiCorp's 2021 IRP and its preferred portfolio. In June 2022, the UPSC issued an order declining to acknowledge the 2021 IRP due to its determination that PacifiCorp did not meet the commission's IRP guidelines by excluding new natural gas-fueled resources in its modeling of the 2021 IRP's preferred portfolio, as wellstate as the commission's view that PacifiCorp did not provide ample time for public input and information exchange during"Washington Two-Year Progress Report," aligned with the development of the IRP. The UPSC did approve the 2022 All Source RFP ("2022AS RFP") to procure resources identified in the 2021 IRP. In August 2022, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission acknowledged PacifiCorp's 2021 IRP and its preferred portfolio. Reviews of the 2021 IRP by the Wyoming Public Service Commission and the WUTC are ongoing.Clean Energy Transformation Act requirements.

Requests for Proposals

PacifiCorp issues individual RFPs to procure resources identified in the IRP or resources driven by customer demands.demands and regulatory policy changes. The IRP and the RFPs provide for the identification and staged procurement of resources to meet load or state-specific compliance obligations. Depending upon the specific RFP, applicable laws and regulations may require PacifiCorp to file draft RFPs with the UPSC, the OPUC and the WUTC. Approval by the UPSC, the OPUC or the WUTC may be required depending on the nature of the RFPs.

A draft of PacifiCorp's 2022ASmost recent RFP, was filed for approval with the WUTC in December 2021, and with the UPSC and the OPUC in January 2022. The draft 2022AS RFP was approved by the WUTC in March 2022 and by the UPSC and the OPUC in April 2022. The 2022ASAll-Source RFP, was issued to market in April 2022. PacifiCorp-ownedIn December 2022, PacifiCorp bid 12 eligible self-build (benchmark) resources and in March 2023, PacifiCorp received 302 bids are due late November 2022from 74 developers and market bids are due February 2023.93 different projects sites across six states. A final shortlist is expected by the end of 2023 with resources contracted through the first half of 2024. PacifiCorp may issue another or an expanded all-source RFP in connection with the 2023 IRP during the first half of 2024.

Material Cash Requirements

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, there have been no material changes in cash requirements from the information provided in Item 7 of PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, other than those disclosed in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Regulatory Matters

PacifiCorp is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding PacifiCorp's current regulatory matters.

81


Environmental Laws and Regulations

PacifiCorp is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, wildfire prevention and mitigation, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, water quality, coal combustion byproductash disposal hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact PacifiCorp's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. PacifiCorp believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and PacifiCorp is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

75


Collateral and Contingent Features

Debt and preferred securities of PacifiCorp are rated by credit rating agencies. Assigned credit ratings are based on each rating agency's assessment of PacifiCorp's ability to, in general, meet the obligations of its issued debt or preferred securities. The credit ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, and there is no assurance that a particular credit rating will continue for any given period of time. As of September 30, 2022, PacifiCorp's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

PacifiCorp has no credit rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity dates of outstanding debt and a change in ratings is not an event of default under the applicable debt instruments. PacifiCorp's unsecured revolving credit facilities do not require the maintenance of a minimum credit rating level to draw upon their availability. However, commitment fees and interest rates under the credit facilities are tied to credit ratings and increase or decrease when the ratings change. A ratings downgrade could also increase the future cost of commercial paper, short- and long-term debt issuances or new credit facilities. Certain authorizations or exemptions by regulatory commissions for the issuance of securities are valid as long as PacifiCorp maintains investment grade ratings on senior secured debt. A downgrade below that level would necessitate new regulatory applications and approvals.

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. If all credit-risk-related contingent features or adequate assurance provisions for these agreements had been triggered as of September 30, 2022, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $338 million of additional collateral. PacifiCorp's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation, outstanding accounts payable and receivable, or other factors. Refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of PacifiCorp's collateral requirements specific to PacifiCorp's derivative contracts.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes, and revenue recognition-unbilled revenue.revenue and wildfire loss contingencies. For additional discussion of PacifiCorp's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2021.2022. Refer to Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for updates regarding the wildfire loss contingency estimates.

MidAmerican Energy Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related statements of operations and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of MidAmerican Energy's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to MidAmerican Energy in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTCs"PTC") from MidAmerican Energy's wind- and solar-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind- and solar-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. MidAmerican Energy recognizes its renewable electricity PTCs throughout the year based on when the credits are earned and excludes them from the annual effective tax rate that is the basis for the interim recognition of other income tax expense. Wind- and solar-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021 totaled $505$375 million and $400$388 million, respectively.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its U.S. federal and Iowa state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Energy's provision for income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. MidAmerican Energy received net cash payments for income tax from BHE totaling $757$520 million and $677$541 million for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.

(6)    Employee Benefit Plans

MidAmerican Energy sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering a majority of all employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy, Inc. MidAmerican Energy also sponsors certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits covering substantially all retired employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy, Inc.

(7)    Asset Retirement Obligations

MidAmerican Energy estimates its asset retirement obligation ("ARO") liabilities based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Changes in estimates could occur for a number of reasons including changes in laws and regulations, plan revisions, inflation and changes in the amount and timing of expected work. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, MidAmerican Energy recorded an increase of $88 million for decommissioning its wind-generating facilities, which is a non-cash investing activity and is due to an updated decommissioning estimate reflecting changes in the projected removal costs per turbine.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. MidAmerican Energy has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that MidAmerican Energy has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect MidAmerican Energy's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. MidAmerican Energy develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

The following table presents MidAmerican Energy's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

Transmission Rates

MidAmerican Energy's wholesale transmission rates are set annually using formula rates approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")-approved formula rates subject to true-up for actual cost of service. MidAmerican Energy is authorized by the FERC to include a 0.50% adder beyond the approved base return on equity ("ROE") effective January 2015. Prior to September 2016, the rates in effect were based on a 12.38% ROE. In November 2013 and February 2015, a coalition of intervenors filed successive complaints with the FERC requesting that the 12.38% ROEbase return on equity ("ROE") used to determine rates in effect prior to September 2016 no longer be found just and reasonable and sought to reduce the base ROE to 9.15% and 8.67%, respectively. In September 2016, the FERC issued an order for the first complaint, which reduces the base ROE to 10.32% and required refunds, plus interest, for the period from November 2013 through February 2015. Customer refunds relative to the first complaint occurred in February 2017. In November 2019, the FERC issued an order addressing the second complaint and issues on appeal in the first complaint. The order established a ROE of 9.88% (10.38% including the 0.50% adder) for the 15-month refund period of the first complaint and prospectively from September 2016 forward. In May 2020, the FERC issued an order on rehearing of the November 2019 order. The May 2020 order affirmed the FERC's prior decision to dismiss the second complaint and established an ROE of 10.02% (10.52% including the 0.50% adder) for the 15-month refund period of the first complaint and prospectively from September 2016 to the date of the May 2020 order.ROE. In August 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion vacating theseall orders related to the complaints and remanding them back to the FERC. MidAmerican Energy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters or the amount of refunds, if any, and as of September 30, 2022,accordingly, has reversed its previously accrued an $8 million liability for potential refunds of amounts collected under the higher ROE during the periods covered by the complaints.

(10)(12)    Segment Information

MidAmerican Energy has identified two reportable segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.

The following tables provide information on a reportable segment basis (in millions):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Managers and Member of
MidAmerican Funding, LLC

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding, LLC and subsidiaries ("MidAmerican Funding") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in member's equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of MidAmerican Funding's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to MidAmerican Funding in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB and with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTCs"PTC") from MidAmerican Energy's wind- and solar-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind- and solar-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. MidAmerican Funding recognizes its renewable electricity PTCs throughout the year based on when the credits are earned and excludes them from the annual effective tax rate that is the basis for the interim recognition of other income tax expense. Wind- and solar-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs recognized for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022, and 2021 totaled $505$375 million and $400$388 million, respectively.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its U.S. federal and Iowa state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's provisions for income tax have been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of their currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. MidAmerican Funding received net cash payments for income tax from BHE totaling $761$522 million and $681$544 million for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively.

(12)    Segment Information

MidAmerican Funding has identified two reportable segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost. "Other" in the tables below consists of the financial results and assets of nonregulated operations, MHC and MidAmerican Funding.

MidAmerican Funding -

MidAmerican Funding's net income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 was $300$233 million, a decreasean increase of $73$29 million, or 20%14%, compared to 2021.2022.

The variancesvariance in net income werewas primarily due to the changes in MidAmerican Energy's earnings discussed above.above and a one-time gain on the sale of an investment of $10 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Electric utility margin is calculated as regulated electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Statements of Operations. Natural gas utility margin is calculated as regulated natural gas operating revenue less regulated cost of natural gas purchased for resale, which are included in regulated natural gas and other and cost of natural gas purchased for resale and other, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

101108


MidAmerican Energy's cost of fuel and energy and cost of natural gas purchased for resale are generally recovered from its retail customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms, and as a result, changes in MidAmerican Energy's expense included in regulatory recovery mechanisms result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin more appropriately and concisely explain profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.

Electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income, which is the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Quad Cities Generating Station Operating Status

Constellation Energy Corp. ("Constellation Energy," previously Exelon Generation Company, LLC, which was a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation prior to February 1, 2022), the operator of Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station") of which MidAmerican Energy has a 25% ownership interest, announced on June 2, 2016, its intention to shut down Quad Cities Station on June 1, 2018. In December 2016, Illinois passed legislation creating a zero emission standard, which went into effect June 1, 2017. The zero emission standard requires the Illinois Power Agency to purchase ZECs and recover the costs from certain ratepayers in Illinois, subject to certain limitations. The proceeds from the ZECs will provide Constellation Energy additional revenue through 2027 as an incentive for continued operation of Quad Cities Station. MidAmerican Energy will not receive additional revenue from the subsidy.

The PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") capacity market includes a Minimum Offer Price Rule ("MOPR"). If a generation resource is subjected to a MOPR, its offer price in the market is adjusted to effectively remove the revenues it receives through a state government-provided financial support program, resulting in a higher offer that may not clear the capacity market. Prior to December 19, 2019, the PJM MOPR applied only to certain new gas-fired resources. An expanded PJM MOPR to include existing resources would require exclusion of ZEC compensation when bidding into future capacity auctions, resulting in an increased risk of Quad Cities Station not receiving capacity revenues in future auctions.

On December 19, 2019, the FERC issued an order requiring the PJM to broadly apply the MOPR to all new and existing resources, including nuclear. This greatly expanded the breadth and scope of the PJM's MOPR, which became effective as of the PJM's capacity auction for the 2022-2023 planning year in May 2021. While the FERC included some limited exemptions, no exemptions were available to state-supported nuclear resources, such as Quad Cities Station. The FERC provided no new mechanism for accommodating state-supported resources other than the existing Fixed Resource Requirement ("FRR") mechanism under which an entire utility zone would be removed from PJM's capacity auction along with sufficient resources to support the load in such zone. In response to the FERC's order, the PJM submitted a compliance filing on March 18, 2020, wherein the PJM proposed tariff language reflecting the FERC's directives and a schedule for resuming capacity auctions. On April 16, 2020, the FERC issued an order largely denying requests for rehearing of the FERC's December 2019 order but granting a few clarifications that required an additional PJM compliance filing, which the PJM submitted on June 1, 2020. A number of parties, including Constellation Energy, have filed petitions for review of the FERC's orders in this proceeding, which remain pending before the D.C. Circuit.

As a result, the MOPR applied to Quad Cities Station in the capacity auction for the 2022-2023 planning year, which prevented Quad Cities Station from clearing in that capacity auction.

At the direction of the PJM Board of Managers, the PJM and its stakeholders developed further MOPR reforms to ensure that the capacity market rules respect and accommodate state resource preferences such as the ZEC programs. The PJM filed related tariff revisions at the FERC on July 30, 2021, and, on September 29, 2021, the PJM's proposed MOPR reforms became effective by operation of law. Under the new tariff provisions, the MOPR will no longer apply to Quad Cities Station. Requests for rehearing of the FERC's notice establishing the effective date for the PJM's proposed market reforms were filed in October 2021 and denied by operation of law on November 4, 2021. Several parties have filed petitions for review of the FERC's orders in this proceeding, which remain pending before the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Constellation Energy is strenuously opposing these appeals.

Assuming the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard, Constellation Energy no longer considers Quad Cities Station to be at heightened risk for early retirement. However, to the extent the Illinois zero emission standard does not operate as expected over its full term, Quad Cities Station would be at heightened risk for early retirement. The FERC's December 19, 2019 order on the PJM MOPR may undermine the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard unless the PJM adopts further changes to the MOPR or Illinois implements an FRR mechanism, under which Quad Cities Station would be removed from the PJM's capacity auction.

Regulatory Matters

MidAmerican Energy is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding MidAmerican Energy's current regulatory matters.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2021.2022.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Nevada Power Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nevada Power Company and subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Nevada Power as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of Nevada Power's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Nevada Power in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, and for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The results of operations for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

(7)    Risk Management and Hedging Activities

Nevada Power is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. Nevada Power is principally exposed to electricity and natural gas and coal market fluctuations primarily through Nevada Power's obligation to serve retail customer load in its regulated service territory. Nevada Power's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. The actual cost of fuel and purchased power is recoverable through the deferred energy mechanism. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. Nevada Power does not engage in proprietary trading activities.

Nevada Power has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage and report on each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, Nevada Power uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. Nevada Power manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, Nevada Power may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate Nevada Power's exposure to interest rate risk. Nevada Power does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices.

Credit Risk

Nevada Power is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent Nevada Power's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct and indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, Nevada Power analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, Nevada Power enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtain third-party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, Nevada Power exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

120


Collateral and Contingent Features

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels "credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in Nevada Power's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, Nevada Power's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.
126



The aggregate fair value of Nevada Power's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $7$9 million and $6$5 million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, which represents the amount of collateral to be posted if all credit risk related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered. Nevada Power's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of Nevada Power's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Nevada Power has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Nevada Power has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Nevada Power's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Nevada Power develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Nevada Power transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Nevada Power uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Nevada Power's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Nevada Power bases its forward price curves upon internally developed models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to markets that are not active. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, Nevada Power uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The model incorporates a mid-market pricing convention (the mid‑point price between bid and ask prices) as a practical expedient for valuing its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The determination of the fair value for derivative contracts not only includes counterparty risk, but also the impact of Nevada Power's nonperformance risk on its liabilities, which as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, had an immaterial impact to the fair value of its derivative contracts. As such, Nevada Power considers its derivative contracts to be valued using Level 3 inputs.

Nevada Power's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

Nevada Power's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Nevada Power's long‑term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Nevada Power's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Nevada Power during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Nevada Power's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Nevada Power's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Overview

Net income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 was $209$66 million, a decrease of $8$10 million, or 4%, compared to 20212022 primarily due to $9 million of lower utility margin, $3 million ofhigher interest expense, primarily due to higher long-term debt, higher operations and maintenance expenses, mainly due to increased plant operations and maintenance expenses, partially offset by lower earnings sharing, and higher depreciation and amortization, mainly due to higher plant placed in-service, $3 million ofin-service. The decrease is offset by favorable interest and dividend income, mainly from higher carrying charges on regulatory balances, higher capitalized interest expense, primarilymainly due to higher long-term debt,construction work-in-progress and unfavorable other, net, mainly due to lowerfavorable cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies, partially offset by $8 million of higher interest and dividend income, primarily from carrying charges on regulatory balances.policies. Utility margin decreased primarily due to unfavorable price impacts from changes in sales mix,lower retail customer volumes, partially offset by higher regulatory-related revenue deferrals. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, decreased 4.5% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of weather, and lower transmission revenue, partially offset by an increase in the average number of customers and higher regulatory-related revenue deferrals.customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Utility margin is calculated as electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Nevada Power's cost of fuel and energy are directly recovered from its customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in Nevada Power's expenses result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes utility margin more appropriately and concisely explains profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.

Sierra Pacific Power Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Pacific Power Company and subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Pacific as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of Sierra Pacific's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Sierra Pacific in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, and for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022. The results of operations for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's accounting policies or its assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates during the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.

During 2022, Sierra Pacific revised its electric and gas depreciation rates effective January 2023 based on the results of a new depreciation study, the most significant impact of which was shorter average service lives for intangible software. The net effect of this change along with various changes to the average service lives of other utility plant groups will increase depreciation and amortization expense by $19 million annually based on depreciable plant balances at the time of the change.

(4)    Recent Financing Transactions

Long-Term Debt

In June 2022, Sierra Pacific purchased $60 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Gas & Water Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016B, due 2036, as required by the bond indenture. Sierra Pacific is holding this bond and can re-offer it at a future date.

In May 2022, Sierra Pacific issued $250 million of 4.71% General and Refunding Mortgage bonds, Series W, due 2052. The net proceeds were used to repay the outstanding $200 million unsecured loan with NV Energy, Inc., repay amounts outstanding under its existing revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

In April 2022, Sierra Pacific entered into a $200 million unsecured loan with NV Energy payable upon demand. The net proceeds were used to purchase certain tax-exempt refunding revenue bond obligations that were subject to mandatory purchase by Sierra Pacific in April 2022. The loan has an underlying variable interest rate based on 30-day U.S. dollar deposits offered on the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") market plus a spread of 0.75%.

In April 2022, Sierra Pacific purchased the following series of bonds that were held by the public: $30 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Water Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016C, due 2036; $25 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Water Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016D, due 2036; $25 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Water Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016E, due 2036; $75 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Water Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016F, due 2036; $20 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Water Facilities Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016G, due 2036; and $30 million of its variable-rate tax-exempt Pollution Control Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2016B, due 2029. Sierra Pacific purchased these bonds as required by the bond indentures. Sierra Pacific is holding these bonds and can re-offer them at a future date.

Credit Facilities

In June 2022,2023, Sierra Pacific amended and restated its existing $250 million secured credit facility expiring in June 2024.2025. The amendment increased the commitment of the lenders to $400 million and extended the expiration date to June 2025 and amended pricing from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.2026.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and its subsidiaries in its U.S. federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Sierra Pacific's provision for federal income tax has been computed on a separate returnstand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. For the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, Sierra Pacific made no net cash payments for federal income tax to BHE.

The NV Energy Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan ("Qualified Pension Plan") and a supplemental executive retirement plan and a restoration plan (collectively, "Non‑Qualified Pension Plans") that provide pension benefits for eligible employees. The NV Energy Comprehensive Welfare Benefit and Cafeteria Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees ("Other Postretirement Plans") on behalf of Sierra Pacific. Sierra Pacific contributed $1 million to the Non-Qualified Pension Plans and $2 million to the Other PostretirementPost Retirement Plans for the nine-monthsix-month period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022.2023.

(7)    Risk Management and Hedging Activities

Sierra Pacific is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. Sierra Pacific is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas and coal market fluctuations primarily through Sierra Pacific's obligation to serve retail customer load in its regulated service territory. Sierra Pacific's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. The actual cost of fuel and purchased power is recoverable through the deferred energy mechanism. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. Sierra Pacific does not engage in proprietary trading activities.

Sierra Pacific has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, assess, manage and report on each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, Sierra Pacific uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, futures, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. Sierra Pacific manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, Sierra Pacific may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate Sierra Pacific's exposure to interest rate risk. Sierra Pacific does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices.

There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on derivative contracts.

Credit Risk

Sierra Pacific is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent Sierra Pacific's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct and indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, Sierra Pacific analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, Sierra Pacific enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtain third-party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, Sierra Pacific exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

Collateral and Contingent Features

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in Sierra Pacific's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, Sierra Pacific's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

The aggregate fair value of Sierra Pacific's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $1 million and $— million as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, which represents the amount of collateral to be posted if all credit risk related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered. Sierra Pacific's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of Sierra Pacific's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Sierra Pacific has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Sierra Pacific has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Sierra Pacific's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Sierra Pacific develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Sierra Pacific transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Sierra Pacific uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Sierra Pacific's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Sierra Pacific bases its forward price curves upon internally developed models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to markets that are not active. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, Sierra Pacific uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The model incorporates a mid-market pricing convention (the mid‑point price between bid and ask prices) as a practical expedient for valuing its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The determination of the fair value for derivative contracts not only includes counterparty risk, but also the impact of Sierra Pacific's nonperformance risk on its liabilities, which as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, had an immaterial impact to the fair value of its derivative contracts. As such, Sierra Pacific considers its derivative contracts to be valued using Level 3 inputs.

Sierra Pacific's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

Sierra Pacific's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Sierra Pacific's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Sierra Pacific's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

(11)    Segment Information

Sierra Pacific has identified two reportable operating segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by the PUCN; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Sierra Pacific during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Sierra Pacific's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Sierra Pacific's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the ThirdSecond Quarter and First NineSix Months of 20222023 and 20212022

Overview

Net income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 was $59$20 million, a decreasean increase of $3$7 million, or 5%54%, compared to 20212022 primarily due to $10 million of higher operationsutility margin and maintenance expenses, mainlyhigher allowance for borrowed funds, primarily due to higher plant operations and maintenance expenses, $2 million ofincreased construction work-in-progress, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization, primarilymainly due to higherincreased plant placed in-service and higher other expense, partially offset by $11 million of higher electric utility margin.regulatory amortizations. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail rates due to the 2022 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2023, partially offset by lower customer volumes and lower transmission and wholesale revenue andrevenue. Electric retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, decreased by 7.4% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of weather, offset by an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by unfavorable price impacts from changes in sales mix and unfavorable changes in customer usage.customers. Energy generated decreased 12%1% for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 compared to 20212022 primarily due to lower coal-fueled generation offset by higher natural gas- and coal-fueledgas-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes decreased 10%increased 15% and purchased electricity volumes increased 4%decreased 23%.

Net income for the first ninesix months of 20222023 was $100$47 million, a decreasean increase of $7$6 million, or 7%15%, compared to 20212022 primarily due to $21 million of higher utility margin and higher interest and dividend income, primarily from carrying charges on regulatory balances, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization, mainly due to increased plant placed in-service and higher regulatory amortizations, and increased operations and maintenance expenses, mainly due to higher plant operations and maintenance expenses and higher earnings sharing, $6 million of unfavorable other, net, mainly due to lower cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies, $3 million of higher depreciation and amortization, primarily due to higher plant in-service and higher income tax expense, partially offset by $20 million of higher electric utility margin and $6 million of higher interest and dividend income, mainly from carrying charges on regulatory balances.increased customer service operations expenses. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail rates due to the 2022 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2023 and higher transmission and wholesale revenue, higher regulatory-related revenue deferrals andpartially offset by lower customer volumes. Electric retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, decreased by 2.6% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of weather, offset by an increase in the average number of customers, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of weather, unfavorable price impacts from changes in sales mix and unfavorable changes in customer usage.customers. Energy generated decreased 15%increased 5% for the first ninesix months of 20222023 compared to 20212022 primarily due to lowerhigher natural gas-fueled generation offset by lower coal-fueled generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 17%decreased 11% and purchased electricity volumes increased 4%decreased 22%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Electric utility margin is calculated as electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy while natural gas utility margin is calculated as natural gas operating revenue less cost of natural gas purchased for resale, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sierra Pacific's cost of fuel and energy and cost of natural gas purchased for resale are generally recovered from its customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in Sierra Pacific's expenses result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin more appropriately and concisely explain profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.

Electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Debt Authorizations

Sierra Pacific currently has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to: (1) establish debt issuances limited to a debt ceiling of $1.9 billion (excluding borrowings under Sierra Pacific's $250$400 million secured credit facility); and (2) maintain a revolving credit facility of up to $600 million.

Future Uses of Cash

Sierra Pacific has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the use of its secured revolving credit facility, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Sierra Pacific has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Sierra Pacific's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.

Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Energy Gas as of December 31, 2021,2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2022,24, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of Eastern Energy Gas' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Eastern Energy Gas in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Assignment of Shale Development Rights

In June 2023, Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS") conveyed development rights to a natural gas producer for approximately 6,500 acres of Utica Shale and Point Pleasant Formation underneath one of its natural gas storage fields and received proceeds of $8 million and an overriding royalty interest in gas produced from the acreage. This transaction resulted in an $8 million ($6 million after-tax) gain, included in operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(3)(4)    Regulatory Matters

In September 2021, Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS")EGTS filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective November 1, 2021. EGTS' previous general rate case was settled in 1998. EGTS proposed an annual cost-of-service of approximately $1.1 billion, and requested increases in various rates, including general system storage rates by 85% and general system transportationtransmission rates by 60%. In October 2021, the FERC issued an order that accepted the November 1, 2021 effective date for certain changes in rates, while suspending the other changes for five months following the proposed effective date, until April 1, 2022, subject to refund. In September 2022, a settlement agreement was filed with the FERC, resolving EGTS' general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services and providingwhich provided for increased service rates and decreased depreciation rates. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, EGTS' rates result in an increase to annual firm transportationtransmission and storage services revenues of approximately $160 million and a decrease in annual depreciation expense of approximately $30 million, compared to the rates in effect prior to April 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, EGTS' provision for rate refund for April 2022 through SeptemberFebruary 2023, including accrued interest, totaled $91 million. In November 2022, totaled $56 million and was included in current regulatory liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. FERC approval ofapproved the settlement is expectedagreement and the rate refunds to customers were processed in late 2022 or earlyFebruary 2023.

In July 2017, the FERC audit staff communicated to EGTS that it had substantially completed an audit of EGTS' compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of the FERC's Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report. In December 2017, EGTS provided its response to the audit report. EGTS requested FERC review of the contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. EGTS reached resolution of certain matters with the FERC in the fourth quarter of 2018. EGTS recognized a charge for a disallowance of plant, originally established beginning in 2012, for the resolution of one matter with the FERC. In December 2020, the FERC issued a final ruling on the remaining matter, which resulted in a $43 million ($31 million after-tax) estimated charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction. As a condition of the December 2020 ruling, EGTS filed its proposed accounting entries and supporting documentation with the FERC during the second quarter of 2021. During the finalization of these entries, EGTS refined the estimated charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction, which resulted in a reduction to the estimated charge of $11 million ($8 million after-tax) that was recorded in operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of 2021. In September 2021, the FERC approved EGTS' accounting entries and supporting documentation.

For the period ended SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, Eastern Energy Gas' reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate is driven primarily by an absence of tax on income attributable to Cove Point's 75% noncontrolling interest.

(6)(7)    Employee Benefit Plans

Eastern Energy Gas is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), an affiliate. The MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan that provides pension benefits for eligible employees.

(7)(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of Eastern Energy Gas' cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Eastern Energy Gas has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Eastern Energy Gas has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflect Eastern Energy Gas' judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Eastern Energy Gas develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

Eastern Energy Gas' investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

167


Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchase or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Eastern Energy Gas transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Eastern Energy Gas uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Eastern Energy Gas' estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Eastern Energy Gas bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by Eastern Energy Gas. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of Eastern Energy Gas' outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, Eastern Energy Gas' forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contracts. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, Eastern Energy Gas uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.

170


Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt is carried at cost including unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Eastern Energy Gas' variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. and subsidiaries ("EGTS") as of SeptemberJune 30, 2022,2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and of cash flows for the nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of EGTS as of December 31, 20212022 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated July 7, 2022February 24, 2023 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021,2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of EGTS' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to EGTS in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and for the three- and nine-monthsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and 2021.2022.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in EGTS' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the three yearsyear ended December 31, 2021 included in EGTS' Form S-4 (SEC Registration No. 333-266049), as amended,2022 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3)    Regulatory Matters

In September 2021, EGTS filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective November 1, 2021. EGTS' previous general rate case was settled in 1998. EGTS proposed an annual cost-of-service of approximately $1.1 billion, and requested increases in various rates, including general system storage rates by 85% and general system transportationtransmission rates by 60%. In October 2021, the FERC issued an order that accepted the November 1, 2021 effective date for certain changes in rates, while suspending the other changes for five months following the proposed effective date, until April 1, 2022, subject to refund. In September 2022, a settlement agreement was filed with the FERC, resolving EGTS' general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services and providingwhich provided for increased service rates and decreased depreciation rates. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, EGTS' rates result in an increase to annual firm transportationtransmission and storage services revenues of approximately $160 million and a decrease in annual depreciation expense of approximately $30 million, compared to the rates in effect prior to April 1, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, EGTS' provision for rate refund for April 2022 through September 2022February 2023, including accrued interest, totaled $56 million and was included in current regulatory liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. FERC approval of the settlement is expected late 2022 or early 2023.

In July 2017, the FERC audit staff communicated to EGTS that it had substantially completed an audit of EGTS' compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of the FERC's Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations.$91 million. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report. In December 2017, EGTS provided its response to the audit report. EGTS requested FERC review of the contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. EGTS reached resolution of certain matters with the FERC in the fourth quarter of 2018. EGTS recognized a charge for a disallowance of plant, originally established beginning in 2012, for the resolution of one matter with the FERC. In December 2020, the FERC issued a final ruling on the remaining matter, which resulted in a $43 million ($31 million after-tax) estimated charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction. As a condition of the December 2020 ruling, EGTS filed its proposed accounting entries and supporting documentation with the FERC during the second quarter of 2021. During the finalization of these entries, EGTS refined the estimated charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction, which resulted in a reduction to the estimated charge of $11 million ($8 million after-tax) that was recorded in disallowance and abandonment of utility plant in its Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of 2021. In September 2021,2022, the FERC approved EGTS' accounting entriesthe settlement agreement and supporting documentation.the rate refunds to customers were processed in late February 2023.

The terms of the new notes are substantially similar to the terms of the original Eastern Energy Gas notes. The debt exchange was a common control transaction accounted for as a debt modification. As such, no gain or loss was recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and approximately $17 million of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs and $32 million of deferred losses on previously settled interest rate swaps remaining in AOCI were contributed to EGTS by Eastern Energy Gas in connection with the transaction. In addition, new fees of $2 million paid directly to note holders in connection with the exchange were deferred as additional debt issuance costs that will be amortized over the lives of the respective notes. As a result of the transaction, EGTS' $1.9 billion of long-term indebtedness to Eastern Energy Gas was cancelled in full and the remaining balance was satisfied through a capital contribution.

(7)(6)    Employee Benefit Plans

EGTS is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), an affiliate. The MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan that provides pension benefits for eligible employees. The MidAmerican Energy Company Welfare Benefit Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees on behalf of EGTS. EGTS contributed $9$4 million and $5 million to the MidAmerican Energy Company Retirement Plan for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and $22022, respectively, and $1 million to the MidAmerican Energy Company Welfare Benefit Plan for the nine-month periodsix-month periods ended SeptemberJune 30, 2023 and 2022. Contributions related to these plans are reflected as net periodic benefit cost in operations and maintenance expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts attributable to EGTS were allocated from MidAmerican Energy in accordance with the intercompany administrative service agreement. Offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities have been recorded related to the amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs that will be included in regulated rates. As of both SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, EGTS' amount due to MidAmerican Energy associated with these plans and reflected in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $85$47 million.

(8)(7)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of EGTS' cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. EGTS has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that EGTS has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflect EGTS' judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. EGTS develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

187

EGTS' investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

185


Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchase or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which EGTS transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, EGTS uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent EGTS' estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. EGTS bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by EGTS. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of EGTS' outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, EGTS' forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contracts. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, EGTS uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.

EGTS' long-term debt is carried at cost including unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of EGTS' long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of EGTS during the periods included herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with EGTS' historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. EGTS' actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the ThirdSecond Quarter and First NineSix Months of 20222023 and 20212022

Overview

Net income for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 was $81$59 million, an increasea decrease of $39$12 million, or 93%17%, compared to 2021.2022. Net income increaseddecreased primarily due to higher marginslower margin from regulated gas transportationtransmission and storage operations of $53$24 million, an increase in salaries, wages and a decrease in depreciation due to the settlement of depreciation rates in EGTS' general rate case of $9 million,benefits and higher technology and related charges, partially offset by a gain from an increase inagreement to convey development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields, lower than estimated 2022 tax assessments and lower income tax expense of $26 million primarily due to higherlower pre-tax income.

Net income for the first ninesix months of 20222023 was $207$127 million, an increase of $83$1 million, or 67%1%, compared to 2021.2022. Net income increased primarily due to higher marginsmargin from regulated gas transportationtransmission and storage operations of $91$8 million, a decrease ingain from an agreement to convey development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields, lower depreciation rates due to the settlement of depreciation rates in EGTS' general rate case, of $15 million, a decrease in post-retirement benefit related costs of $12 million, lower than estimated 2021income tax assessments of $11 million and lower interest expense of $10 million primarily due to lower interest rates,pre-tax income and lower than estimated 2022 tax assessments, partially offset by higher technology and related charges and an increase in income tax expense of $43 million primarily due to higher pre-tax incomesalaries, wages and a 2021 benefit from the finalization of entries for the disallowance of capitalized AFUDC of $11 million.benefits.

Quarter Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20222023 Compared to Quarter Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20212022

Operating revenue increased $31$2 million, or 15%1%, for the thirdsecond quarter of 20222023 compared to 2021,2022, primarily due to an increase in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $10 million and an increase in regulated gas transportationtransmission and storage services revenues due to the settlement of EGTS' general rate case of $41$8 million, partially offset by a net decrease in regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues due to volumes primarily from the expiration of the Appalachian Gateway Project contracts in August 2022 of $11 million.

Cost of (excess) gas was an expense of $5 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to a credit of $21 million for the second quarter of 2022. The change is primarily from a decrease in other operational and system balancing fuel activities prior to the effective date of the new fuel tracker due to the settlement of EGTS' general rate case of $14 million and the unfavorable revaluation of the volumes retained prior to the effective date of the new fuel tracker due to lower natural gas prices of $12 million.

Operations and maintenance increased $9 million, or 10%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to higher technology and related charges of $12 million and an increase in salaries, wages and benefits of $9 million, partially offset by a gain from an agreement to convey development rights underneath one of its natural gas storage fields of $8 million.

Property and other taxes decreased $8 million, or 53%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to lower than estimated 2022 tax assessments.

Other, net was income of $2 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to expense of $1 million for the second quarter of 2022. The change is primarily from gains on marketable securities.

Income tax expense decreased $8 million, or 29%, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the effective tax rate was 25% for 2023 and 28% for 2022. The effective tax rate decreased primarily due to the reduction in the Pennsylvania statutory rate.

First Six Months of 2023 Compared to First Six Months of 2022

Operating revenue increased $57 million, or 12%, for the first six months of 2023 compared to 2022, primarily due to an increase in regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues due to the settlement of EGTS' general rate case of $50 million, an increase in variable revenue related to park and loan activity of $4 million, partially offset by a decrease in regulated gas sales of $14 million for operational and system balancing purposes due to decreased volumes.

Excess gas increased $22 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to a decrease in volumes sold of $18$20 million and favorable valuations of system gasderivative losses in 2022 of $7 million, partially offset by a net decrease in regulated gas transmission and storage services revenues due to volumes primarily from the expiration of the Appalachian Gateway Project contracts in August 2022 of $17 million.

Operations and maintenance decreased $24 million, or 9%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to a decrease in post-retirement benefit related costs of $12 million, lower long-term incentive plan expenses of $7 million and bank and legal fees recorded in 2021 related to the debt exchange with Eastern Energy Gas of $4 million.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $8 million, or 7%, for thefirst nine months of 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to the settlement of depreciation rates in EGTS' general rate case of $15 million, partially offset by higher plant placed in-service of $7 million.

Property and other taxes decreased $11 million, or 22%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to lower than estimated 2021 tax assessments.

Disallowance and abandonment of utility plant decreased $11$1 million for the first ninesix months of 2022 compared to 2021 due to a 2021 benefit2022. The change is primarily from the finalization of entries for the disallowance of capitalized AFUDC.

Interest expense decreased$10 million, or 17%, for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to lower expense of $44 million related to the elimination of long-term indebtedness to Eastern Energy Gas following the Debt Exchange Transaction in June 2021. These decreases were partially offset by $32 million of interest expense incurred under the senior notes issued in connection with that transaction, which bear lower interest rates than the original long-term indebtedness to Eastern Energy Gas.

Other, net decreased $5 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to lossesgains on marketable securities.

Income tax expense increased $43decreased $4 million, or 100%9%, for the first ninesix months of 20222023 compared to 20212022, primarily due to lower pre-tax income and the effective tax rate was 29%25% for 20222023 and 26%27% for 2021.2022.

Future Uses of Cash

EGTS has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, intercompany revolving credit agreements, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, investments, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which EGTS has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, EGTS' credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the natural gas transportation pipelinetransmission and storage industry.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, new growth projects and the timing of growth projects; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customer rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.

EGTS' historical and forecasted capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):

Regulatory Matters

EGTS is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding EGTS' current regulatory matters.

192


Environmental Laws and Regulations

EGTS is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air quality, climate change, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected specieswater quality and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact EGTS'its current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. EGTS believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and EGTS is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and consolidated financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes. For additional discussion of EGTS' critical accounting estimates, see Management's Discussion and AnalysisItem 7 of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in EGTS' Annual Report on Form S-4 (SEC Registration No. 333-266049), as amended.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no significant changes in EGTS' assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2021.2022.

The O'Keefe lawsuit was filed in Multnomah County Circuit Court, Oregon on April 23, 2021, by one individual seeking $2 million in damages for claims for negligence, nuisance, and trespass.

United States and Oregon Departments of Justice – Loss and Damages to Federal and State Lands

PacifiCorp recently received correspondence from the U.S. Department of Justice ("USDOJ"), representing the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Department of Agriculture and Forest Service, regarding the potential recovery of certain costs and damages alleged to have occurred to federal lands from the September 2020 Archie Creek and Susan Creek fires. The USDOJ estimates the costs and damages relating to reforestation, damaged timber and improvements, coordination with hydropower license, suppression costs and other assessment, cleanup and rehabilitation costs and damages at approximately $640 million. The amounts alleged for natural resource damage from these fires do not include environmental damages that the United States could potentially seek to recover if this matter was fully litigated, nor do they include multipliers which the agencies are allegedly entitled to collect under pertinent federal regulations, under which, for example, minimum damages for trespass to timber managed by the U.S. Department of Interior are twice the fair market value of the resource at the time of the trespass, or three times if the violation was willful.

PacifiCorp also received correspondence from the Oregon Department of Justice ("ODOJ"), representing the State of Oregon, regarding the potential recovery of losses and damages to state lands from the Archie Creek and Susan Creek fires. The ODOJ estimates losses and damages relating to the sheltering of, and assistance to, affected Oregonians, fire control and extinguishment costs, 39 acres of Oregon forestland, losses and damages at the Rock Creek Fish Hatchery, road and highway damages, and other costs, at approximately $95 million.

PacifiCorp is actively cooperating with both the USDOJ and ODOJ on resolving these alleged claims, including through the pursuit of alternative dispute resolution means.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

There has been no material change to each Registrant's risk factors from those disclosed in Item 1A of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except as disclosed below. There has been no material change to EGTS' risk factors from those disclosed in EGTS' Form S-4 (SEC Registration No. 333-266049), as amended.

Potential terrorist activities and the impact of military or other actions, including sanctions, export controls and similar measures, could adversely affect each Registrant's financial results.

The ongoing threat of terrorism and the impact of military or other actions by nations or politically, ethnically or religiously motivated organizations regionally or globally may create increased political, economic, social and financial market instability, which could subject each Registrant's operations to increased risks. Additionally, the U.S. government has issued warnings that energy assets, specifically pipeline, nuclear generation, transmission and other electric utility infrastructure, are potential targets for terrorist attacks. Further, the potential or actual outbreak of war or other hostilities, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the resulting economic sanctions on Russia and the sale of Russian natural gas and petroleum, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions and military actions, could adversely affect global and regional economies and financial markets. For instance, the current ban on imports of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal to the U.S. could contribute to increases in prices for such commodities in the U.S. and elsewhere which could adversely affect each Registrant's business. Further, each Registrant's business must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, including those administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant governmental authorities in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and European Union, which include sanctions that could potentially restrict or prohibit each Registrant's relationships with certain suppliers and customers. Political, economic, social or financial market instability or damage to or interference with the operating assets of the Registrants, customers or suppliers, or continued increases in the price of natural gas and other petroleum commodities may result in business interruptions, lost revenue, higher costs, disruption in fuel supplies, lower energy consumption and unstable markets, particularly with respect to electricity and natural gas, and increased security, repair or other costs, any of which may materially adversely affect each Registrant in ways that cannot be predicted at this time. Any of these risks could materially affect its consolidated financial results. Furthermore, instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism or war could also materially adversely affect each Registrant's ability to raise capital.2022.
