What could support the case

Supporting filing ↗The strongest caution
If actual utility costs exceed amounts allowed in rate plans, Con Edison could fail to recover them or earn a reasonable return.
Caution evidence ↗An interesting business is not necessarily an attractive investment at today's price. Price, dilution, financing terms and a valuation range still need investigation.
Inspect the evidence behind both sides ↗4. Three questions worth investigating
Use these to guide your research, not as conclusions that have already been proved.
How exposed are costs to regulatory disallowance?
Starting evidence: State regulators can initiate proceedings to bar recovery of costs they determine were imprudently incurred, including storm restoration costs.
Investigate next: Review prudence proceedings, settlements and the Note B regulatory matters to see how often and how severely cost recovery has been limited.
Read the supporting filing ↗How might renewed rate plans differ?
Starting evidence: Rate plans typically require regulator action at expiration, possibly bringing new plans with different provisions that could affect the return earned.
Investigate next: Compare expiration dates and authorized return terms of current electric, gas and steam plans, and note which provisions are likely contested.
Read the supporting filing ↗Do aged customer receivables signal collection risk?
Starting evidence: Customer receivables outstanding beyond sixty days remain well above levels from before the pandemic, which could pressure uncollectible expenses.
Investigate next: Examine how rate-plan reconciliation of uncollectible expenses and surcharge caps would shield or expose earnings if write-offs rise.
