Previous wording
NJNG is responsible for the environmental remediation of former MGP sites, which contain contaminated residues from former gas manufacturing operations that ceased operating at these sites by the mid-1950s and, in some cases, had been discontinued many years earlier. Actual MGP remediation costs may vary from management’s estimates due to the developing nature of remediation requirements, regulatory decisions by the NJDEP and related litigation. NJNG reviews these costs periodically, and at least annually, and adjusts its liability and corresponding regulatory asset as necessary to reflect its expected future remediation obligation. Accordingly, NJNG recognized a regulatory asset and an obligation of approximately $166.1M as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of approximately $0.9M compared with September 30, 2025. See Note 13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for a more detailed description of MGP expenditures.

CEV may enter into transactions to sell certain of its commercial solar assets concurrent with agreements to lease the assets back over a period of five to seven years. The Company will continue to operate the solar assets and is responsible for related expenses and entitled to retain the revenue generated from RECs and energy sales. ITCs and other tax attributes associated with these solar projects transfer to the buyer if applicable; however, the lease payments are structured so that CEV is compensated for the transfer of the related tax incentives. Accordingly, for solar projects financed under sale leasebacks for which the assets were sold during the first five years of in-service life, CEV recognizes the equivalent value of the ITC in other income on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the respective five-year ITC recapture periods, starting with the second year of the lease. CEV received proceeds of approximately $26.0M and $13.2M during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and approximately $49.3M and $25.7M during the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, in connection with the sale leaseback of commercial solar assets. As an alternative, CEV may evaluate other structures to monetize the value of ITCs, such as the direct transfer of ITCs to a third party in exchange for cash.
