Sale of Nuclear Production Tax Credits
In September 2025, Nuclear PTCs with an aggregate carrying value of $202 million were sold to an unaffiliated third party for cash consideration of $191 million. The $11 million difference between the carrying value and the sales price resulted in loss presented in “Other operating income (expense), net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s Nuclear PTCs remaining after the sale are expected to be utilized in reducing federal income taxes payable.
One Big Beautiful Bill Act
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “OBBB”) was signed into law. The OBBB, among other things, makes key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. While the Company has included known anticipated effects of the OBBB in its income tax provision, it is in the process of evaluating the full financial effects of the OBBB.
