We may not raise our retail rates without prior approval of the SDPUC, WPSC or the MTPSC. If we seek rate relief, we could experience delays, reduced or partial rate recovery, or disallowances in rate proceedings.
Our credit ratings could be lowered below investment grade in the future. If this were to occur, our access to capital and our cost of capital and other costs would be negatively affected.
Construction, expansion, refurbishment and operation of power generating and transmission facilities involve significant risks which could lead to lost revenues or increased expenses.
Because prices in the wholesale power markets are volatile, our revenues and expenses may fluctuate.
Our business is subject to substantial governmental regulation and permitting requirements as well as on-site environmental liabilities we assumed when we acquired some of our facilities. We may be adversely affected by any future inability to comply with existing or future regulations or requirements or the potentially high cost of complying with such requirements.
Ongoing changes in the United States utility industry, including state and federal regulatory changes, a potential increase in the number or geographic scale of our competitors or the imposition of price limitations to address market volatility, could adversely affect our profitability.
Increasing costs associated with our defined benefit retirement plans may adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
Increasing costs associated with health care plans may adversely affect our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
An effective system of internal control may not be maintained, leading to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
