As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2022, management determined that there was sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it was more likely than not that deferred taxes of $ 151,164 were realizable in part because we achieved six consecutive years of pretax income, expected profits to continue for the foreseeable future and implemented new efficiencies in the Company's manufacturing process. Accordingly, we determined that no valuation allowance was necessary at December 31, 2022.

In March 2023, APCo submitted its 2020-2022 Virginia triennial review filing and base rate case with the Virginia SCC as required by state law. APCo requested a $ 213 million annual increase in Virginia base rates based upon a proposed 10.6 % return on common equity. The requested annual increase includes $ 47 million related to vegetation management and a $ 35 million increase in depreciation expense. The requested increase in depreciation expense reflects, among other things, the impacts of incremental investments made since APCo’s last depreciation study using property balances as of December 31, 2022. Effective January 1, 2023 and in accordance with past Virginia SCC directives, APCo implemented updated Virginia depreciation rates. APCo’s proposed revenue requirement also includes the recovery of certain costs incurred that partially contributed to APCo’s calculated earnings shortfall for the 2020-2022 triennial period. For triennial review periods in which a Virginia utility earns below its authorized ROE band, the utility may file to recover expenses incurred, up to the bottom of the authorized ROE band, related to certain categories of costs, including system restoration costs for severe weather events.

In August 2023, I&M filed a request with the IURC for a $ 116 million annual increase in Indiana base rates based upon a 2024 forecasted test year, a proposed 10.5 % ROE and a proposed capital structure of 48.8 % debt and 51.2 % common equity. I&M proposed that the annual increase in base rates be implemented in two steps, with the first increase effective in mid-2024, following an IURC order, and the second increase effective in January 2025. The proposed annual increase includes a $ 41 million increase related to depreciation expense, driven by increased depreciation rates and increased capital investments, and a $ 15 million increase related to storm expenses. I&M’s Indiana base case filing requests recovery of certain historical period regulatory asset balances and proposes deferral accounting for certain future investments and tax related issues, including corporate alternative minimum tax expense and PTCs related to the Cook Plant.

In June 2023, KPCo filed a request with the KPSC for a $ 94 million net annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 9.9 % ROE with the increase to be implemented no earlier than January 2024. The filing proposes no changes in depreciation rates and an annual level of storm restoration expense in base rates of approximately $ 1 million. KPCo also proposed to discontinue tracking of PJM transmission costs through a rider, and to instead collect an annual level of costs through base rates. In addition, KPCo has proposed a rider to recover certain distribution reliability investments and related incremental operation and maintenance expenses. KPCo also requested a prudency determination and recovery mechanism for approximately $ 16 million of purchased power costs not recoverable through its FAC since its last base case. KPCo’s proposal did not address the disposition of its 50 % interest in Mitchell Plant, which will be addressed in the future.

In January 2023, OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve an ESP that included proposed rate adjustments, proposed new riders and the continuation and modification of certain existing riders, including the DIR, effective June 2024 through May 2030. The proposal includes a return on common equity of 10.65 % on capital costs for certain riders. In June 2023, intervenors filed testimony opposing OPCo’s plan for various new riders and modifications to existing riders, including the DIR. In September 2023, OPCo and certain intervenors filed a settlement agreement with the PUCO addressing the ESP application. The settlement included a four year term from June 2024 through May 2028, an ROE of 9.7 % and continuation of a number of riders including the DIR subject to revenue caps. An order from the PUCO is expected in the first quarter of 2024. If OPCo is ultimately not permitted to fully collect its ESP rates it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

As part of the 2020 Texas Base Rate Case, the PUCT authorized recovery of SWEPCo’s Texas jurisdictional share of the Dolet Hills Power Station through 2046, but denied SWEPCo the ability to earn a return on this investment resulting in a disallowance of $ 12 million in 2021. As part of the 2021 Arkansas Base Rate Case, the APSC authorized recovery of SWEPCo’s Arkansas jurisdictional share of the Dolet Hills Power Station through 2027, but denied SWEPCo the ability to earn a return on this investment resulting in a disallowance of $ 2 million in the second quarter of 2022. Also, the APSC did not rule on the prudency of the early retirement of the Dolet Hills Power Station, which will be addressed in a future proceeding. As part of the 2020 Louisiana Base Rate Case, the LPSC authorized the recovery of SWEPCo’s Louisiana share of the Dolet Hills Power Station, through a separate rider, through 2032, but did not rule on the prudency of the early retirement of the plant, which is being addressed in a separate proceeding.

In March 2023, the Pirkey Plant was retired. As part of the 2020 Louisiana Base Rate Case, the LPSC authorized the recovery of SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdictional share of the Pirkey Plant, through a separate rider, through 2032. As part of the 2021 Arkansas Base Rate Case, the APSC granted SWEPCo regulatory asset treatment. SWEPCo will request recovery including a weighted average cost of capital carrying charge through a future proceeding. In July 2023, Texas ALJs issued a proposal for decision that concluded the decision to retire the Pirkey Plant was prudent. In September 2023, the PUCT rejected the ALJs proposal for decision concluding the retirement of the Pirkey Plant was prudent. In the open meeting, the commissioners expressed their concerns that the analysis in support of SWEPCo’s decision to retire the Pirkey Plant was not robust enough and that SWEPCo should have re-evaluated the decision following Winter Storm Uri. The treatment of the cost of recovery of the Pirkey Plant is expected to be addressed in a future rate case. As of December 31, 2023, the Texas jurisdictional share of the net book value of the Pirkey Plant was $ 67 million. To the extent any portion of the Texas jurisdictional share of the net book value of the Pirkey Plant is not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

In 2020, PSO and SWEPCo received regulatory approvals to acquire the NCWF, comprised of three Oklahoma wind facilities totaling 1,484 MWs, on a fixed cost turn-key basis. PSO and SWEPCo own undivided interests of 45.5 % and 54.5 % of the NCWF, respectively. In total, the three wind facilities cost approximately $ 2 billion and consist of Traverse ( 998 MW), Maverick ( 287 MW) and Sundance ( 199 MW). Output from the NCWF serves retail load in PSO’s Oklahoma service territory and both retail and FERC wholesale load in SWEPCo’s service territories in Arkansas and Louisiana. The Oklahoma and Louisiana portions of the NCWF revenue requirement, net of PTC benefit, are recoverable through authorized riders until the amounts are reflected in base rates. Recovery of the Arkansas portion of the NCWF revenue requirement through base rates was approved by the APSC in May 2022. The NCWF are subject to various regulatory performance requirements. If these performance requirements are not met, PSO and SWEPCo would recognize a regulatory liability to refund retail customers.
