Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. These statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements can typically be identified by the use of forward-looking words, such as "will," "may," "could," "project," "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "continue," "intend," "potential," "plan," "forecast" and similar terms. These statements are based upon the relevant Registrant's current intentions, assumptions, expectations and beliefs and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors. Many of these factors are outside the control of each Registrant and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others:
general economic, political and business conditions, as well as changes in, and compliance with, laws and regulations, including income tax reform, initiatives regarding deregulation and restructuring of the utility industry, and reliability and safety standards, affecting the respective Registrant's operations or related industries;
changes in, and compliance with, environmental laws, regulations, decisions and policies that could, among other items, increase operating and capital costs, reduce facility output, accelerate facility retirements or delay facility construction or acquisition;
the outcome of regulatory rate reviews and other proceedings conducted by regulatory agencies or other governmental and legal bodies and the respective Registrant's ability to recover costs through rates in a timely manner;
changes in economic, industry, competition or weather conditions, as well as demographic trends, new technologies and various conservation, energy efficiency and private generation measures and programs, that could affect customer growth and usage, electricity and natural gas supply or the respective Registrant's ability to obtain long-term contracts with customers and suppliers;
performance, availability and ongoing operation of the respective Registrant's facilities, including facilities not operated by the Registrants, due to the impacts of market conditions, outages and repairs, transmission constraints, weather, including wind, solar and hydroelectric conditions, and operating conditions;
the effects of catastrophic and other unforeseen events, which may be caused by factors beyond the control of each respective Registrant or by a breakdown or failure of the Registrants' operating assets, including severe storms, floods, fires, earthquakes, explosions, landslides, an electromagnetic pulse, mining incidents, litigation, wars, terrorism, pandemics (including potentially in relation to COVID-19), embargoes, and cyber security attacks, data security breaches, disruptions, or other malicious acts;
the ability to economically obtain insurance coverage, or any insurance coverage at all, sufficient to cover losses arising from catastrophic events, such as wildfires where the Registrants may be found liable for property damages regardless of fault;

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, and changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The Company, through these locally managed and operated businesses, owns four utility companies in the United States serving customers in 11 states, two electricity distribution companies in Great Britain, five interstate natural gas pipeline companies and interests in a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export, import and storage facility in the United States, an electric transmission business in Canada, interests in electric transmission businesses in the United States, a renewable energy business primarily investing in wind, solar, geothermal and hydroelectric projects, the largest residential real estate brokerage firm in the United States and one of the largest residential real estate brokerage franchise networks in the United States.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in the Company's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(2)    Business Acquisition

BHE GT&S Acquisition

Transaction Description

On November 1, 2020, BHE completed its acquisition of substantially all of the natural gas transmission and storage business of Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI") and Dominion Energy Questar Corporation ("Dominion Questar"), exclusive of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC and related entities (the "Questar Pipeline Group") (the "GT&S Transaction"). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated July 3, 2020 (the "GT&S Purchase Agreement"), BHE paid approximately $2.5 billion in cash, after post-closing adjustments (the "GT&S Cash Consideration"), and assumed approximately $5.6 billion of existing indebtedness for borrowed money, including fair value adjustments, for 100% of the equity interests of Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS") (formerly known as Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc.) and Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC (formerly known as Dominion Energy Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC); 50% of the equity interests of Iroquois Gas Transmission System L.P. ("Iroquois"); and a 25% economic interest in Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point") (formerly known as Dominion Energy Cove Point LNG, LP), consisting of 100% of the general partnership interest and 25% of the total limited partnership interests. BHE became the operator of Cove Point after the GT&S Transaction. The GT&S Transaction received clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Approval") in October 2020, and approval by the Department of Energy with respect to a change in control of Cove Point and the Federal Communications Commission with respect to the transfer of certain licenses earlier in 2020.

The assets acquired in the GT&S Transaction include (i) approximately 5,400 miles of operated natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines with approximately 12.5 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") per day of design capacity; (ii) 420 Bcf of operated natural gas storage design capacity, of which 306 Bcf is owned by BHE GT&S; and (iii) an LNG export, import and storage facility with LNG storage capacity of approximately 14.6 billions of cubic feet equivalent.

On October 5, 2020, DEI and Dominion Questar, as permitted under the terms of the GT&S Purchase Agreement, delivered notice to BHE of their election to terminate the GT&S Transaction with respect to the Questar Pipeline Group and, in connection with the execution of the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement referenced below, to waive the related termination fee under the GT&S Purchase Agreement. Also on October 5, 2020, BHE entered into a second Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement") with Dominion Questar providing for BHE's purchase of the Questar Pipeline Group from Dominion Questar (the "Q-Pipe Transaction") after receipt of HSR Approval for a cash purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion (the "Q-Pipe Cash Consideration"), subject to adjustment for cash and indebtedness as of the closing, and the assumption of approximately $430 million of existing indebtedness for borrowed money. DEI is also a party to the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement, as guarantor for certain provisions regarding the Purchase Price Repayment Amount (as defined below) and other matters.

Under the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement, BHE delivered the Q-Pipe Cash Consideration of approximately $1.3 billion, which is included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, to Dominion Questar on November 2, 2020. Pursuant to the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement, Dominion Questar agreed that, if the Q-Pipe Transaction did not close, it would repay all or (depending upon the repayment date) substantially all of the Q-Pipe Cash Consideration (the "Purchase Price Repayment Amount") to BHE on or prior to December 31, 2021.

On July 9, 2021, Dominion Questar and DEI delivered a written notice to BHE stating that BHE and Dominion Questar have mutually elected to terminate the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement. On July 14, 2021, BHE received the Purchase Price Repayment Amount of approximately $1.3 billion in cash.

Included in BHE's Consolidated Statement of Operations within the BHE Pipeline Group reportable segment for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, is operating revenue of $487 million and $1,047 million, respectively and net income attributable to BHE shareholders of $66 million and $173 million, respectively, as a result of including BHE GT&S from November 1, 2020.

Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price

BHE GT&S' assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at estimated fair value at closing. The majority of BHE GT&S' operations are subject to the rate-setting authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and are accounted for pursuant to GAAP, including the authoritative guidance for regulated operations. The rate-setting and cost-recovery provisions provide for revenues derived from costs, including a return on investment of assets and liabilities included in rate base. As such, the fair value of BHE GT&S' assets acquired and liabilities assumed subject to these rate-setting provisions are assumed to approximate their carrying values and, therefore, no fair value adjustments have been reflected related to these amounts.

The fair value of BHE GT&S' assets acquired and liabilities assumed not subject to the rate-setting provisions discussed above was determined using an income and cost approach. The income approach is based on significant estimates and assumptions, including Level 3 inputs, which are judgmental in nature. The estimates and assumptions include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows and future market prices. Additionally, the fair value of long-term debt assumed was determined based on quoted market prices, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

The fair value of certain contracts and property, plant and equipment related to non-regulated operations, certain regulatory assets and other items included in rate base, an equity method investment and deferred income tax amounts are provisional and are subject to revision for up to 12 months following the acquisition date until the related valuations are completed. These items may be adjusted through regulatory assets or liabilities, to the extent recoverable in rates, or goodwill provided additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the receipt of further information regarding the fair value of the contracts and property, plant and equipment related to non-regulated operations, the equity method investment and any associated deferred income tax amounts as well as the evolution of the rate-making process for regulated operations.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):
Fair Value
Current assets, including cash and cash equivalents of $104
$582 
Property, plant and equipment9,264 
Goodwill1,741

Regulatory liabilities650 
Other long-term liabilities292 
Total liabilities6,973 
Noncontrolling interest3,916 
Net assets acquired$2,514 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company made revisions to certain contracts and property, plant and equipment related to non-regulated operations, the equity method investment and associated deferred income tax amounts based upon the receipt of additional information about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Provisional amounts are subject to further revision for up to 12 months following the acquisition date until the related valuations are completed.
13


Goodwill

The excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaled $1.7 billion and is reflected as goodwill in the BHE Pipeline Group reportable segment. The goodwill reflects the value paid primarily for the long-term opportunity to improve operating results through the efficient management of operating expenses and the deployment of capital. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For income tax purposes, the GT&S Acquisition is treated as a deemed asset acquisition resulting from tax elections being made, therefore all tax goodwill is deductible. Due to book and tax basis differences of certain items, book and tax goodwill will differ. The amount of tax goodwill is approximately $0.9 billion and will be amortized over 15 years.

Equity Method Investments

The Company has invested in projects sponsored by third parties, commonly referred to as tax equity investments. Once a project achieves commercial operation, the Company enters into a partnership agreement with the project sponsor that directs and allocates the operating profits and tax benefits from the project. Certain of the Company's tax equity investments are located in Texas and have physical settlement hedge obligations that were negatively impacted due to production shortfalls during periods of extreme market pricing volatility as a result of the February 2021 polar vortex weather event. The Company recognized pre-tax equity losses of $305 million, or after-tax income of $70 million inclusive of production tax credits ("PTCs") of $306 million and other income tax benefits of $67 million, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, on its tax equity investments, largely due to the February 2021 polar vortex weather event. The losses for the impacted tax equity investments were based upon the terms of each partnership agreement, as amended, and are subject to change as project-by-project discussions are ongoing among the Company and the respective hedge provider and project sponsor. As of June 30, 2021, the carrying value of the impacted tax equity investments totaled $2.8 billion.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist substantially of funds restricted for the purpose of constructing solid waste facilities under tax-exempt bond obligation agreements and debt service obligations for certain of the Company's nonregulated renewable energy projects. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Income tax credits relate primarily to PTCs from wind-powered generating facilities owned by MidAmerican Energy, PacifiCorp and BHE Renewables. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $678 million and $454 million, respectively.

Income tax effect on foreign income includes, among other items, a deferred income tax charge of $109 million recognized in June 2021 upon the enactment of an increase in the United Kingdom's corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25% effective April 1, 2023.

The Company's provision for income taxes has been computed on a stand-alone basis. Berkshire Hathaway includes the Company in its consolidated United States federal and Iowa state income tax returns and the majority of the Company's United States federal income tax is remitted to or received from Berkshire Hathaway. The Company received net cash payments for federal income taxes from Berkshire Hathaway totaling $943 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and made payments for federal income taxes to Berkshire Hathaway totaling $100 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of the Company's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

(2)Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents; other current assets; and noncurrent investments and restricted cash and investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.
Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which the Company transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, the Company uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent the Company's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. The Company bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by the Company. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of the Company's outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, the Company's forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contract. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, the Company uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.

The Company's mortgage loans held for sale are valued based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices of other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. As necessary, these prices are adjusted for typical securitization activities, including servicing value, portfolio composition, market conditions and liquidity.


21


The Company's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.

The Company's long-term debt is carried at cost, including fair value adjustments and unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of the Company's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

(9)    Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Commitments

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, MidAmerican Energy entered into firm construction commitments totaling $558 million through the remainder of 2021 and 2022 related to the repowering and construction of wind-powered generating facilities and the construction of solar-powered generating facilities.

Easements

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, MidAmerican Energy entered into non-cancelable easements with minimum payment commitments totaling $87 million through 2061 for land in Iowa on which some of its wind- and solar-powered generating facilities will be located.

Legal Matters

The Company is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. The Company does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results. The Company is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert or may assert claims or seek to impose fines, penalties and other costs in substantial amounts and are described below.
    
California and Oregon 2020 Wildfires

In September 2020, a severe weather event resulting in high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, private and public property damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate. Third party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures, including residences, destroyed; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities. Fire suppression costs estimated by various agencies total approximately $150 million. Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and being conducted by various entities, including the United States Forest Service, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp.

Several lawsuits have been filed in Oregon and California, including a putative class action complaint in Oregon, on behalf of citizens and businesses who suffered damages from fires allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. The final determinations of liability, however, will only be made following comprehensive investigations and litigation processes.


23


In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could nevertheless be found liable for all damages proximately caused by negligence, including property and natural resource damage; fire suppression costs; personal injury and loss of life damages; and interest.

As of June 30, 2021, PacifiCorp has accrued $136 million as its best estimate of the potential losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the 2020 Wildfires that are considered probable of being incurred. These accruals include estimated losses for fire suppression costs, property damage, personal injury damages and loss of life damages. It is reasonably possible that PacifiCorp will incur additional losses beyond the amounts accrued; however, PacifiCorp is currently unable to estimate the range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved and the lack of specific claims for all potential claimants. To the extent losses beyond the amounts accrued are incurred, additional insurance coverage is expected to be available to cover at least a portion of the losses.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding climate change, renewable portfolio standards, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact the Company's current and future operations. The Company believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Hydroelectric Relicensing

PacifiCorp is a party to the 2016 amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement ("KHSA"), which is intended to resolve disputes surrounding PacifiCorp's efforts to relicense the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. The KHSA establishes a process for PacifiCorp, the states of Oregon and California ("States") and other stakeholders to assess whether dam removal can occur consistent with the settlement's terms. For PacifiCorp, the key elements of the settlement include: (1) a contribution from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers capped at $200 million plus $250 million in California bond funds; (2) complete indemnification from harms associated with dam removal; (3) transfer of the FERC license to a third-party dam removal entity, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC"), who would conduct dam removal; and (4) ability for PacifiCorp to operate the facilities for the benefit of customers until dam removal commences.

In September 2016, the KRRC and PacifiCorp filed a joint application with the FERC to transfer the license for the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC. The FERC approved partial transfer of the Klamath license in a July 2020 order, subject to the condition that PacifiCorp remains co-licensee. Under the amended KHSA, PacifiCorp did not agree to remain co-licensee during the surrender and removal process given concerns about liability protections for PacifiCorp and its customers. In November 2020, PacifiCorp entered a memorandum of agreement (the "MOA") with the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States to continue implementation of the KHSA. The agreement required the States, PacifiCorp and KRRC to file a new license transfer application by January 16, 2021 to remove PacifiCorp from the license for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project and add the States and KRRC as co-licensees for the purposes of surrender. On January 13, 2021, the new license transfer application was filed with the FERC, notifying it that PacifiCorp and the KRRC are not accepting co-licensee status under FERC's July 2020 order, and instead are seeking the license transfer outcome described in the new license transfer application. In addition, the MOA provides for additional contingency funding of $45 million, equally split between PacifiCorp and the States, and for PacifiCorp and the States to equally share in any additional cost overruns in the unlikely event that dam removal costs exceed the $450 million in funding to ensure dam removal is complete. The MOA also requires PacifiCorp to cover the costs associated with certain pre-existing environmental conditions. In June 2021, the FERC approved transfer of the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States as co-licensees. The transfer will be effective after PacifiCorp secures property transfer approvals from its state public utility commissions and 30 days following the issuance of a license surrender order from the FERC for the project. In July 2021, the Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho and California state public utility commissions approved the property transfer.

*    Not meaningful

Earnings on common shares increased $1,128 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020. The second quarter of 2021 included a pre-tax unrealized gain of $1,954 million ($1,420 million after-tax) compared to a pre-tax unrealized gain in the second quarter of 2020 of $562 million ($408 million after-tax) on the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited. Excluding the impact of this item, adjusted earnings on common shares for the second quarter of 2021 was $824 million, an increase of $116 million, or 16%, compared to adjusted earnings on common shares in the second quarter of 2020 of $708 million.
Earnings on common shares increased $424 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020. The first six months of 2021 included a pre-tax unrealized gain of $830 million ($602 million after-tax) compared to a pre-tax unrealized gain in the first six months of 2020 of $615 million ($447 million after-tax) on the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited. Excluding the impact of this item, adjusted earnings on common shares for the first six months of 2021 was $1,608 million, an increase of $269 million, or 20%, compared to adjusted earnings on common shares in the first six months of 2020 of $1,339 million.


32


The increases in earnings on common shares for the second quarter and for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 were primarily due to the following:
The Utilities' net income increased $64 million for the second quarter and $65 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, reflecting higher electric utility margin and favorable income tax expense from higher PTCs recognized and the impacts of ratemaking, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense and higher operations and maintenance expense. Electric retail customer volumes increased 5.7% for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher customer usage, the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers;
Northern Powergrid's net income decreased $84 million for the second quarter and $67 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to a deferred income tax charge of $109 million related to the enactment in the second quarter of 2021 of an increase in the United Kingdom corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25% effective April 1, 2023, partially offset by higher distribution revenue;
BHE Pipeline Group's net income increased $36 million for the second quarter and $240 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, largely due to $66 million and $173 million, respectively, of incremental net income from BHE GT&S, acquired in November 2020. In addition, net income for the first six months increased from the effects of higher margins on natural gas sales and higher transportation revenue at Northern Natural Gas, largely due to the favorable impacts of the February 2021 polar vortex weather event;
BHE Renewables' net income increased $43 million for the second quarter and decreased $36 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020. The changes were primarily due to earnings from tax equity investment projects reaching commercial operation and higher operating revenue from owned renewable energy projects, with the first six months being negatively impacted by lower tax equity investment earnings from the February 2021 polar vortex weather event;
HomeServices' net income increased $76 million for the second quarter and $150 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, reflecting higher earnings from brokerage services due to comparative increases in closed transaction volumes and higher earnings from mortgage services from an unfavorable 2020 contingent earn-out remeasurement and higher funded mortgage volume for the first six months; and
BHE and Other's net income increased $993 million for the second quarter and $68 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, mainly due to $1,012 million and $155 million, respectively, of favorable changes in the after-tax unrealized position of the Company's investment in BYD Company Limited, partially offset by dividends on BHE's 4.00% Perpetual Preferred Stock issued to certain subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway in October 2020.

Reportable Segment Results

PacifiCorp

Operating revenue increased $154 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher retail revenue of $124 million and higher wholesale and other revenue of $30 million. Retail revenue increased due to higher customer volumes of $132 million, partially offset by price impacts of $8 million from lower rates due to certain general rate case orders. Retail customer volumes increased 11.6%, primarily due to higher customer usage, the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Wholesale and other revenue increased primarily due to higher wheeling revenue and wholesale volumes, partially offset by lower average wholesale market prices.

Net income increased $59 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher utility margin of $96 million, favorable income tax expense, from the impacts of ratemaking and higher PTCs recognized due to new wind-powered generating facilities placed in-service, and lower property taxes of $9 million, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense of $65 million, including the impacts of a depreciation study effective January 1, 2021, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction of $17 million and higher operations and maintenance expense of $12 million. Utility margin increased primarily due to the higher retail, wheeling and wholesale revenues and higher deferred net power costs in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms, partially offset by higher purchased power costs and higher thermal generation costs.

Operating revenue increased $190 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher retail revenue of $144 million and higher wholesale and other revenue of $46 million. Retail revenue increased due to higher customer volumes of $148 million, partially offset by price impacts of $4 million from lower rates due to certain general rate case orders. Retail customer volumes increased 5.7%, primarily due to higher customer usage, the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Wholesale and other revenue increased primarily due to higher wholesale volumes, higher wheeling revenue and higher average wholesale market prices.
33


Net income increased $52 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher utility margin of $125 million and favorable income tax expense from higher PTCs recognized due to new wind-powered generating facilities placed in-service and the impacts of ratemaking, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense of $77 million, including the impacts of a depreciation study effective January 1, 2021, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction of $29 million and higher operations and maintenance expense of $17 million. Utility margin increased primarily due to the higher retail, wholesale and wheeling revenues and higher deferred net power costs in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms, partially offset by higher thermal generation costs and higher purchased power costs.

Operating revenue increased $77 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher electric operating revenue of $68 million and higher natural gas operating revenue of $11 million. Electric operating revenue increased due to higher retail revenue of $48 million and higher wholesale and other revenue of $20 million mainly from higher wholesale volumes. Electric retail revenue increased primarily due to higher customer volumes of $30 million, higher recoveries through adjustment clauses of $16 million (largely offset in cost of sales), and price impacts of $2 million from changes in sales mix. Electric retail customer volumes increased 9.2% due to increased usage of certain industrial customers and the favorable impact of weather. Natural gas operating revenue increased due to a higher average per-unit cost of natural gas sold resulting in higher purchased gas adjustment recoveries of $17 million (offset in cost of sales), partially offset by a 4.8% decrease in customer volumes.

Net income increased $3 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher electric utility margin of $36 million and a favorable income tax benefit, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense of $34 million, from additional assets placed in-service and a regulatory mechanism deferring certain depreciation expense in 2020, and unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The favorable income tax benefit was mainly due to higher PTCs recognized from higher wind-powered generation, driven primarily by new wind projects placed in-service, partially offset by the impacts of ratemaking. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to the higher retail and wholesale revenues, partially offset by higher thermal generation and purchased power costs.

The Company may from time to time seek to acquire its outstanding debt securities through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Any debt securities repurchased by the Company may be reissued or resold by the Company from time to time and will depend on prevailing market conditions, the Company's liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Future Uses of Cash

The Company has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities, the issuance of equity and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which BHE and each subsidiary has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, its credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry and project finance markets, among other items.

Capital Expenditures

The Company has significant future capital requirements. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, impacts to customers' rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.

Other Renewable Investments

The Company has invested in projects sponsored by third parties, commonly referred to as tax equity investments. Under the terms of these tax equity investments, the Company has entered into equity capital contribution agreements with the project sponsors that require contributions. The Company has made no contributions for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, and has commitments as of June 30, 2021, subject to satisfaction of certain specified conditions, to provide equity contributions of $766 million for the remainder of 2021 pursuant to these equity capital contribution agreements as the various projects achieve commercial operation. Once a project achieves commercial operation, the Company enters into a partnership agreement with the project sponsor that directs and allocates the operating profits and tax benefits from the project.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 other than the recent financing transactions and renewable tax equity investments previously discussed.

Quad Cities Generating Station Operating Status

Exelon Generation Company, LLC ("Exelon Generation"), the operator of Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station") of which MidAmerican Energy has a 25% ownership interest, announced on June 2, 2016, its intention to shut down Quad Cities Station on June 1, 2018. In December 2016, Illinois passed legislation creating a zero emission standard, which went into effect June 1, 2017. The zero emission standard requires the Illinois Power Agency to purchase zero emission credits ("ZECs") and recover the costs from certain ratepayers in Illinois, subject to certain limitations. The proceeds from the ZECs will provide Exelon Generation additional revenue through 2027 as an incentive for continued operation of Quad Cities Station. MidAmerican Energy will not receive additional revenue from the subsidy.

The PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") capacity market includes a Minimum Offer Price Rule ("MOPR"). If a generation resource is subjected to a MOPR, its offer price in the market is adjusted to effectively remove the revenues it receives through a government-provided financial support program, resulting in a higher offer that may not clear the capacity market. Prior to December 19, 2019, the PJM MOPR applied only to certain new gas-fired resources. An expanded PJM MOPR to include existing resources would require exclusion of ZEC compensation when bidding into future capacity auctions, resulting in an increased risk of Quad Cities Station not receiving capacity revenues in future auctions.

On December 19, 2019, the FERC issued an order requiring the PJM to broadly apply the MOPR to all new and existing resources, including nuclear. This greatly expands the breadth and scope of the PJM's MOPR, which is effective as of the PJM's next capacity auction. While the FERC included some limited exemptions in its order, no exemptions were available to state-supported nuclear resources, such as Quad Cities Station. The FERC provided no new mechanism for accommodating state-supported resources other than the existing Fixed Resource Requirement ("FRR") mechanism under which an entire utility zone would be removed from PJM's capacity auction along with sufficient resources to support the load in such zone. In response to the FERC's order, the PJM submitted a compliance filing on March 18, 2020, wherein the PJM proposed tariff language reflecting the FERC's directives and a schedule for resuming capacity auctions. On April 16, 2020, the FERC issued an order largely denying requests for rehearing of the FERC's December 2019 order but granting a few clarifications that required an additional PJM compliance filing, which the PJM submitted on June 1, 2020. On October 15, 2020, the FERC issued an order denying requests for rehearing of its April 16, 2020 order and accepting the PJM's two compliance filings, subject to a further compliance filing to revise minor aspects of the proposed MOPR methodology. As part of that order, the FERC also accepted the PJM's proposal to condense the schedule of activities leading up to the next capacity auction but did not specify when that schedule would commence given that a key element of the MOPR level computation remains pending before the FERC in another proceeding.

On May 21, 2020, the FERC issued an order involving reforms to the PJM's day-ahead and real-time reserves markets that need to be reflected in the calculation of MOPR levels. In approving reforms to the PJM's reserves markets, the FERC also directed the PJM to develop a new methodology for estimating revenues that resources will receive for sales of energy and related services, which will then be used in calculating a number of parameters and assumptions used in the capacity market, including MOPR levels. The PJM submitted its new revenue projection methodology on August 5, 2020. On review of this compliance filing, the FERC is expected to address how these additional reforms will impact MOPR levels, the timeline for implementing the new revenue projection methodology, and the timing for commencing the capacity auction schedule.

Exelon Generation is currently working with the PJM and other stakeholders to pursue the FRR option as an alternative to the next PJM capacity auction. If Illinois implements the FRR option, Quad Cities Station could be removed from the PJM's capacity auction and instead supply capacity and be compensated under the FRR program. If Illinois cannot implement an FRR program in its PJM zones, then the MOPR will apply to Quad Cities Station, resulting in higher offers for its units that may not clear the capacity market. Implementing the FRR program in Illinois will require both legislative and regulatory changes. MidAmerican Energy cannot predict whether or when such legislative and regulatory changes can be implemented or their potential impact on the continued operation of Quad Cities Station.

In May 2021, the PJM conducted its capacity auction as scheduled, and because Illinois has not implemented an FRR program, the MOPR applied to Quad Cities Station in the capacity auction. The MOPR prevented Quad Cities Station from clearing in the auction.

Assuming the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard, Exelon Generation no longer considers Quad Cities Station to be at heightened risk for early retirement. However, to the extent the Illinois zero emission standard does not operate as expected over its full term, Quad Cities Station would be at heightened risk for early retirement. The FERC's December 19, 2019 order on the PJM MOPR may undermine the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard unless the PJM adopts further changes to the MOPR or Illinois implements an FRR mechanism under which Quad Cities Station would be removed from the PJM's capacity auction. At the direction of the PJM Board of Managers, the PJM and its stakeholders are considering MOPR reforms to ensure that the capacity market rules respect and accommodate state resource preferences such as the ZEC programs, which the PJM filed at the FERC on July 30, 2021.

Regulatory Matters

BHE's regulated subsidiaries and certain affiliates are subject to comprehensive regulation. The discussion below contains material developments to those matters disclosed in Item 1 of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and new regulatory matters occurring in 2021.

PacifiCorp

Utah

In March 2020, PacifiCorp filed its annual Energy Balancing Account application with the UPSC requesting recovery of $37 million of deferred power costs from customers for the period January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, reflecting the difference between base and actual net power costs in the 2019 deferral period. This reflected a 1.0% increase compared to current rates. The UPSC approved the request in February 2021 for rates effective March 1, 2021.

In March 2021, PacifiCorp filed its annual Energy Balancing Account application with the UPSC requesting recovery of $2 million of deferred net power costs from customers for the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, reflecting the difference between base and actual net power costs in the 2020 deferral period. This reflected a $36 million reduction or 1.7% decrease compared to current rates. In June 2021, PacifiCorp updated the requested recovery to $7 million to correct certain load related data reflected in the initial application. The updated recovery request reflects a $31 million reduction, or 1.5% decrease compared to current rates.

In August 2021, PacifiCorp filed an application with the UPSC for alternative cost recovery of a major plant addition to recover the incremental revenue requirement related to the delayed portions of the Pryor Mountain and TB Flats wind-powered generating facilities that are not currently reflected in rates from the last general rate case. PacifiCorp's request results in a net decrease of $4 million, or 0.2%, in base rates effective January 1, 2022. Requested recovery of $7 million for the capital-related cost is offset by $7 million related to forecast PTCs and $4 million in net power cost savings. Actual PTCs and net power cost will be trued-up in the Energy Balancing Account.

Oregon

In February 2020, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case, and in December 2020, the OPUC approved a net rate decrease of approximately $24 million, or 1.8%, effective January 1, 2021, accepting PacifiCorp's proposed annual credit to customers of the remaining 2017 Tax Reform benefits over a two-year period. PacifiCorp's compliance filing to reset base rates effective January 1, 2021 in response to the OPUC's order reflected a rate decrease of approximately $67 million, or 5.1%, due to the exclusion of the impacts of repowered wind-powered generating facilities, new wind-powered generating facilities and certain other new investments that had not been placed in service at the time of the filing. Additional compliance filings have been made to include these investments in rates concurrent with when they are placed in service. In January 2021, the OPUC approved the second compliance filing to add the remainder of the Ekola Flats wind-powered generating facility to rates, resulting in a rate increase of approximately $7 million, or 0.5%, effective January 12, 2021. In April 2021, the OPUC approved the third compliance filing to add the Foote Creek repowered wind-powered generating facility and the Pryor Mountain new wind-powered generating facility to rates, resulting in a rate increase of $14 million, or 1.2%, effective April 9, 2021.

In July 2021, in accordance with the OPUC's December 2020 general rate case order, PacifiCorp filed an application with the OPUC to initiate the review of PacifiCorp's estimated decommissioning and other closure costs per third-party studies associated with its coal-fueled generating facilities. The application requested an initial rate increase of $35 million, or 2.8%, effective January 1, 2022, to recover the incremental costs from those approved in the last general rate case.

Wyoming

In September 2018, PacifiCorp filed an application for depreciation rate changes with the WPSC based on PacifiCorp's 2018 depreciation rate study, requesting the rates become effective January 1, 2021. Updates since September 2018 include the filing of PacifiCorp's 2020 decommissioning studies in which a third‑party consultant was engaged to estimate decommissioning costs associated with coal-fueled generating facilities and removal of Cholla Unit 4. In April 2020, PacifiCorp filed a stipulation with the WPSC resolving all issues addressed in PacifiCorp's depreciation rate study application with ratemaking treatment of certain matters to be addressed in PacifiCorp's general rate case, including depreciation for coal-fueled generating facilities and associated incremental decommissioning costs reflected in decommissioning studies and certain matters related to the repowering of PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities. The stipulation was approved by the WPSC during a hearing in August 2020 and a subsequent written order in December 2020. The general rate case hearing was rescheduled for February 2021. As a result of the hearing date change, PacifiCorp filed an application in October 2020 with the WPSC requesting authorization to defer costs associated with impacts of the depreciation study. A hearing for this deferral application was held in July 2021. Public deliberations are expected in August 2021.

In March 2020, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case with the WPSC which reflected recovery of Energy Vision 2020 investments, updated depreciation rates, incremental decommissioning costs associated with coal-fueled facilities and rate design modernization proposals. The application also requested a revision to the ECAM to eliminate the sharing band and requested authorization to discontinue operations and recover costs associated with the early retirement of Cholla Unit 4. The proposed increase reflects several rate mitigation measures that include use of the remaining 2017 Tax Reform benefits to buy down plant balances, including Cholla Unit 4, and spreading the recovery of the depreciation of certain coal-fueled generation units over time periods that extend beyond the depreciable lives proposed in the depreciation rate study. In September 2020, PacifiCorp filed its rebuttal testimony that modified its requested increase in base rates from $7 million to $9 million, or 1.3%, and reflected an update to the rate mitigation measures for using the 2017 Tax Reform benefits. The WPSC determined that the rebuttal testimony filed constituted a material and substantial change to the original application and vacated the hearing that was scheduled for October 2020. The WPSC re-noticed PacifiCorp's case and rescheduled the hearings. The hearings began February 2021 and were completed in March 2021. In May 2021, the WPSC approved a $7 million base revenue requirement increase that includes the Energy Vision 2020 investments, updated depreciation rates, incremental decommissioning costs and rate design proposals to be offset by returning the remaining 2017 Tax Reform benefits to customers over the next three years. The WPSC also approved revisions to the ECAM to adjust the sharing band from 70/30 to 80/20 and to include PTCs within the mechanism. PacifiCorp's proposals for extended recovery of the depreciation of certain coal-fueled generation units and use of remaining 2017 Tax Reform benefits to buy down certain plant balances were denied. The WPSC decision results in an overall net decrease of 3.5% with a rate effective date of July 1, 2021. A final written order was issued in July 2021.

In April 2021, PacifiCorp filed its annual ECAM and Renewable Energy Credit and Sulfur Dioxide Revenue Adjustment Mechanism application with the WPSC requesting to refund $15 million of deferred net power costs and RECs to customers for the period January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, reflecting the difference between base and actual net power costs in the 2020 deferral period. This reflects a 2.4% decrease compared to current rates. PacifiCorp has requested an interim rate effective date of July 1, 2021, which was approved by the WPSC in June 2021. A hearing has been scheduled for November 2021.

Washington

In June 2021, PacifiCorp filed a power cost only rate case to update baseline net power costs for 2022. The proposed $13 million, or 3.7%, rate increase has a requested effective date of January 1, 2022.

Idaho

In March 2021, PacifiCorp filed its annual ECAM application with the IPUC requesting recovery of $14 million for deferred costs in 2020, a 1.1% decrease compared to current rates. This filing includes recovery of the difference in actual net power costs to the base level in rates, an adder for recovery of the Lake Side 2 resource, changes in PTCs, RECs, and a resource tracking mechanism to match costs with the benefits of new wind and wind repowering projects until they are reflected in base rates. In May 2021, PacifiCorp updated the requested recovery to correct for certain load related data reflected in the initial application, and the IPUC approved recovery of $10 million for deferred costs, a 2.5% decrease compared to current rates, effective June 1, 2021.

In May 2021, PacifiCorp filed a general rate case with the IPUC requesting a $19 million, or 7.0%, revenue requirement increase effective January 1, 2022. This is the first general rate case PacifiCorp has filed in Idaho since 2011. The rate case includes recovery of Energy Vision 2020 investments, Pryor Mountain wind-powered generating facilities, repowering Foote Creek, new investment in transmission, updated depreciation rates, incremental decommissioning costs associated with coal-fueled facilities and rate design modernization proposals. The application also requested recovery of the decommissioning and closure costs associated with the early retirement of Cholla Unit 4.

California

California Senate Bill 901 requires electric utilities to prepare and submit wildfire mitigation plans that describe the utilities' plans to prevent, combat and respond to wildfires affecting their service territories. PacifiCorp submitted its 2021 California Wildfire Mitigation Plan Update in March 2021.

FERC Show Cause Order

On April 15, 2021, the FERC issued an order to show cause and notice of proposed penalty related to allegations made by FERC Office of Enforcement staff that PacifiCorp failed to comply with certain North American Electric Reliability Corporation (the "NERC") reliability standards associated with facility ratings on PacifiCorp's bulk electric system. The order directs PacifiCorp to show cause as to why it should not be assessed a civil penalty of $42 million as a result of the alleged violations. The allegations are related to PacifiCorp's response to a 2010 industry-wide effort directed by the NERC to identify and remediate certain discrepancies resulting from transmission facility design and actual field conditions, including transmission line clearances. In July 2021, PacifiCorp filed its answer to the FERC's show cause order denying the alleged violation of certain NERC reliability standards. The FERC's reply is due in September 2021.

MidAmerican Energy

Natural Gas Purchased for Resale

In February 2021, severe cold weather over the central United States caused disruptions in natural gas supply from the southern part of the United States. These disruptions, combined with increased demand, resulted in historically high prices for natural gas purchased for resale to MidAmerican Energy's retail customers and caused an approximate $245 million increase in natural gas costs above those normally expected. To mitigate the impact to customers, the IUB ordered the recovery of these higher costs to be applied to customer bills over the period April 2021 through April 2022 based on a customer's monthly natural gas usage. While sufficient liquidity is available to MidAmerican Energy, the increased costs and longer recovery period resulted in higher working capital requirements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Renewable Subscription Program

In December 2020, MidAmerican Energy filed with the IUB a proposed Renewable Subscription Program ("RSP") tariff. As proposed, the program would provide qualified industrial customers with the opportunity to meet their future energy growth above baseline levels with renewable energy from specific MidAmerican Energy wind-powered generation additions and 100 MWs of planned solar generation for 20 years at fixed prices based on the cost of such facilities. Under the program, MidAmerican Energy would own the facilities, retain PTCs and other tax benefits associated with the facilities and include all revenues and costs from the program in its Iowa-jurisdictional results of operation, but renewable attributes from the project would be specifically assigned to subscribing customers. In June 2021, the IUB rejected the proposed RSP tariff. In a separate docket, the IUB ordered the exclusion from MidAmerican Energy's energy adjustment clause all PTCs and energy benefits associated with projects addressed in the RSP, resulting in MidAmerican Energy retaining such benefits.

NV Energy (Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific)

Price Stability Tariff

In November 2018, the Nevada Utilities made filings with the PUCN to implement the CPST. The Nevada Utilities have designed the CPST to provide certain customers, namely those eligible to file an application pursuant to Chapter 704B of the Nevada Revised Statutes, with a market-based pricing option that is based on renewable resources. The CPST provides for an energy rate that would replace the Base Tariff Energy Rate and Deferred Energy Accounting Adjustment. The goal is to have an energy rate that yields an all-in effective rate that is competitive with market options available to such customers. In February 2019, the PUCN granted several intervenors the ability to participate in the proceeding. In June 2019, the Nevada Utilities withdrew their filings. In May 2020, the Nevada Utilities refiled the CPST incorporating the considerations raised by the PUCN and other intervenors and a hearing was held in September 2020. In November 2020, the PUCN issued an order approving the tariff with modified pricing and directing the Nevada Utilities to develop a methodology by which all eligible participants may have the opportunity to participate in the CPST program up to a limit with the same proportion of governmental entities' and non-governmental entities' MWh reserved for potentially interested customers as filed. In December 2020, the Nevada Utilities filed a petition for reconsideration of the pricing ordered by the PUCN. In January 2021, the PUCN issued an order reaffirming its order from November 2020 and denying the petition for a rehearing. In the first quarter of 2021, the Nevada Utilities filed an update to the CPST program per the November 2020 order and an updated CPST with the PUCN. The enrollment period for the tariff has ended with no customers having enrolled. A final order has not been issued but because no customers have enrolled the order may be dismissed or withdrawn and the tariff will not go into effect. A final order is expected in 2021.

Natural Disaster Protection Plan

The Nevada Utilities submitted their initial natural disaster protection plan to the PUCN and filed their first application seeking recovery of 2019 expenditures in February 2020. In June 2020, a hearing was held and an order was issued in August 2020 that granted the joint application, made minor adjustments to the budget and approved the 2019 costs for recovery starting in October 2020. In October 2020, intervening parties filed petitions for reconsideration. Intervenors have filed a petition for judicial review with the District Court in November 2020. In December 2020, the PUCN issued a second modified final order approving the natural disaster protection plan, as modified, and reopened its investigation and rulemaking on Senate Bill 329 to address rate design issues raised by intervenors. The comment period for the reopened investigation and rulemaking ended in early February 2021 and an order is expected in 2021. In March 2021, the Nevada Utilities filed an application seeking recovery of the 2020 expenditures, approval for an update to the initial natural disaster protection plan that was ordered by the PUCN and filed their first amendment to the 2020 natural disaster protection plan. A hearing related to the application for approval of the first amendment to the 2020 natural disaster protection plan was held in June 2021. The Nevada Utilities filed a partial party stipulation resolving all issues. One of the intervening parties filed an opposition to the partial party stipulation and other intervenors filed legal briefs. The partial party stipulation was approved by the PUCN in June 2021 with the lone dissenting party retaining the right to argue a single issue in future proceedings with the primary issue being a single statewide rate for cost recovery. A separate docket remains open regarding the regulatory asset account and the cost recovery mechanism. Parties have submitted testimony and a hearing occurred in July 2021.

Senate Bill 448 ("SB 448")

SB 448 was signed into law on June 10, 2021. The legislation is intended to accelerate transmission development, renewable energy and storage within the state of Nevada and requires the Nevada Utilities to submit a plan to accelerate transportation electrification in the state and file a plan for certain high-voltage transmission infrastructure projects. SB 448 requires the Nevada Utilities to amend its most recently filed resource plan to include a plan for certain high-voltage transmission infrastructure construction projects that will be placed into service not later than December 31, 2028 and requires the IRP to include at least one scenario of low carbon dioxide emissions that uses sources of supply that will achieve certain reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. SB 448 also requires the Nevada Utilities, on or before September 1, 2021, to file a plan to invest in certain transportation electrification programs during the period beginning January 1, 2022, and ending on December 31, 2024, and establishes requirements for the contents of the transportation electrification investment plan for that period. It also establishes requirements for the review and the acceptance or modification of the transportation electrification investment plan by the PUCN. The PUCN has not yet addressed the regulations in SB 448.

Northern Powergrid Distribution Companies

In December 2020, GEMA, through Ofgem, published its final determinations for transmission and gas distribution networks in Great Britain. Regarding the allowed return on capital, Ofgem determined a cost of equity of 4.55% (plus inflation calculated using the United Kingdom's consumer price index including owner occupiers' housing costs ("CPIH")). In March 2021, all the transmission and gas distribution networks lodged appeals with the Competition and Markets Authority against Ofgem's determination for the cost of equity, with an outcome expected in October 2021. These determinations do not apply directly to Northern Powergrid, but aspects of the proposals are capable of application at Northern Powergrid's next price control, ("ED2"), which will begin in April 2023.

In December 2020, GEMA published its decision on the methodology it will use to set the next electricity distribution price control, ED2, and prices from April 2023 to March 2028. This confirmed that Ofgem will apply many aspects of the proposals from the transmission and gas distribution price controls to electricity distribution, and that the financial aspects in respect of electricity distribution would broadly follow the transmission and gas distribution methodology, setting a working assumption for a cost of equity at 4.65% (plus CPIH), ahead of the final determinations in late 2022. When placed on a comparable footing, by adjusting for differences in the assumed equity ratio and the measure of inflation used, the working assumption for ED2 is approximately 150 basis points lower than the current cost of equity.

In July 2021, Northern Powergrid submitted and published its draft business plan for April 2023 to March 2028. If adopted, this plan would involve annual capital and operating expenditures of £642 million, an increase relative to the £471 million average annual capital and operating expenditures expected over the current price control period (April 2015 to March 2023). A final business plan submission for 2023-2028 will be submitted in December 2021, ahead of GEMA's draft and final determinations which are expected around June and December 2022, respectively. A new price control can be implemented by GEMA without the consent of the licensee but, if a licensee disagrees with the decision, it can appeal the matter to the United Kingdom’s Competition and Markets Authority. In general terms, an appeal may also be sought by another licensee whose interests are materially affected by the decision, a trade association that represents a licensee and Citizens Advice, as the representative of consumers whose interests are materially affected by the decision.

BHE Pipeline Group

BHE GT&S

In January 2020, pursuant to the terms of a previous settlement, Cove Point filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective March 1, 2020. Cove Point proposed an annual cost-of-service of $182 million. In February 2020, the FERC approved suspending the changes in rates for five months following the proposed effective date, until August 1, 2020, subject to refund. In November 2020, Cove Point reached an agreement in principle with the active participants in the general rate case proceeding. Under the terms of the agreement in principle, Cove Point's rates effective August 1, 2020 result in an increase to annual revenues of $4 million and a decrease in annual depreciation expense of $1 million, compared to the rates in effect prior to August 1, 2020. The interim settlement rates were implemented November 1, 2020, and Cove Point's provision for rate refunds for August 2020 through October 2020 totaled $7 million. The agreement in principle was reflected in a stipulation and agreement filed with the FERC in January 2021. In March 2021, the FERC approved the stipulation and agreement and the rate refunds to customers were processed in late April.

BHE Transmission

AltaLink

Tariff Refund Application

In January 2021, driven by the pandemic and economic shutdown that has negatively impacted all Albertans, AltaLink filed an application with the AUC that requested approval of tariff relief measures totaling C$350 million over the three-year period, 2021 to 2023. The tariff relief measures consist of a proposed refund to customers of C$150 million of previously collected future income taxes and C$200 million of surplus accumulated depreciation.

In March 2021, the AUC issued a decision on AltaLink's Tariff Refund Application and approved a 2021 customer tariff refund in the amount of C$230 million and a net 2021 tariff reduction of C$224 million, which provides Alberta customers with immediate tariff relief in 2021. The approved 2021 tariff refund includes a refund of C$150 million of previously collected future income tax and a refund of C$80 million of accumulated depreciation surplus. Tariff relief measures for years 2022 and 2023 were proposed in AltaLink's 2022-2023 GTA.
In April 2021, the AUC confirmed its approval of AltaLink's customer tariff refund as provided in the decision issued in March 2021 and detailed its reasons for the decision. Specifically, the AUC found that the exceptional circumstances faced by Alberta customers in 2021 have brought to bear an unprecedented need for rate relief that has not existed previously. These exceptional circumstances include the current economic downturn due to COVID-19, the collapse in the world price of oil and the resulting significant negative impact to Albertans and businesses. As a result, immediate and temporary relief was warranted.

2019-2021 General Tariff Application

In August 2018, AltaLink filed its 2019-2021 GTA with the AUC, delivering on the first three years of its commitment to keep rates lower or flat at the approved 2018 revenue requirement of C$904 million for customers for the next five years. In addition, AltaLink proposed to provide a further tariff reduction over the three year period by refunding previously collected accumulated depreciation surplus of an additional C$31 million. In April 2019, AltaLink filed an update to its 2019-2021 GTA primarily to reflect its 2018 actual results and the impact of the AUC's decision on AltaLink's 2014-2015 Deferral Accounts Reconciliation Application. The application requested the approval of revised revenue requirements of C$879 million, C$882 million and C$885 million for 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

In July 2019, AltaLink filed a 2019-2021 partial negotiated settlement application with the AUC. The application consisted of negotiated reductions that resulted in a net decrease of C$38 million to the three year total revenue requirement applied for in AltaLink's 2019-2021 GTA updated in April 2019. However, this was offset by AltaLink's request for an additional C$20 million of forecast transmission line clearance capital as part of an excluded matter. The 2019-2021 negotiated settlement agreement excluded certain matters related to the new salvage study and salvage recovery approach, additional capital spending and incremental asset retirements. AltaLink's salvage proposal is estimated to save customers C$267 million between 2019 and 2023. Excluded matters were examined by the AUC in a hearing held in November 2019, with written arguments filed in January 2020.

In April 2020, the AUC issued its decision with respect to AltaLink's 2019-2021 GTA. The AUC approved the negotiated settlement agreement as filed and rendered its decision and directions on the excluded matters. The AUC declined to approve AltaLink's proposed salvage methodology at that time, but indicated it would initiate a generic proceeding to review the matter on an industry-wide basis. The AUC approved, on a placeholder basis, C$13 million of the additional C$20 million AltaLink requested for forecast transmission line clearance capital. The remaining C$7 million of capital investment was reviewed in AltaLink's subsequent compliance filing. Also, C$3 million of forecast operating expenses and C$4 million of forecast capital expenditures related to fire risk mitigation were approved, with an additional C$31 million of capital expenditures reviewed in the compliance filing. Finally, the AUC approved C$6 million of retirements for towers and fixtures.

In July 2020, the AUC approved AltaLink's compliance filing establishing revised revenue requirements of C$895 million for 2019, C$894 million for 2020 and C$898 million for 2021, exclusive of the assets transferred to the PiikaniLink Limited Partnership and the KainaiLink Limited Partnership.


48


The AUC deferred its decision on AltaLink's proposed salvage methodology included in AltaLink's 2019-2021 GTA, pending a generic proceeding to consider the broader implications. This generic proceeding was closed and in July 2020, AltaLink filed an application with the AUC for the review and variance of the AUC's decision with respect to AltaLink's proposed salvage methodology. In September 2020, the AUC granted this review on the basis that there were changed circumstances that could lead the AUC to materially vary or rescind the majority hearing panel's findings on AltaLink's proposed salvage methodology. In October 2020, AltaLink filed responses to information requests from the AUC, written argument was filed by intervening parties and written reply argument was filed by AltaLink. In November 2020, the AUC issued its decision on AltaLink's review and variance application. The AUC decided to vary the original decision and approve AltaLink's proposed net salvage method and the revised transmission tariffs as filed, effective December 2020. The new salvage methodology decreased the amount of salvage pre-collection resulting in reductions to AltaLink's revenue requirement from customers by C$24 million, C$27 million and C$31 million for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. AltaLink delivered on the first three years of its commitment to customers to keep rates flat for five years by obtaining the necessary AUC approvals. AltaLink's approved 2019-2021 GTA maintains customer rates below the 2018 level of C$904 million from 2019 to 2021.

In March 2021, the AUC approved AltaLink's Tariff Refund Application resulting in a revised revenue requirement of C$873 million and revised transmission tariff of C$633 million for 2021.

2022-2023 General Tariff Application    

In April 2021, AltaLink filed its 2022-2023 GTA delivering on the last two years of its commitment to keep rates flat for customers at or below the 2018 level of C$904 million for the five-year period from 2019 to 2023. The two-year application achieves flat tariffs by continuing to transition to the AUC-approved salvage recovery method and continuing the use of the flow-through income tax method, with an overall year over year increase of approximately 2% in 2022 and 2023 revenue requirements. In addition, similar to the C$80 million refund of the previously collected accumulated depreciation surplus approved by the AUC for 2021, AltaLink proposed to provide further similar tariff reductions over the two years by refunding an additional C$60 million per year. The application requested the approval of transmission tariffs of C$824 million and C$847 million for 2022 and 2023, respectively.

2022 Generic Cost of Capital Proceeding

In December 2020, the AUC initiated the 2022 generic cost of capital proceeding. This proceeding considered the return on equity and deemed equity ratios for 2022 and one or more additional test years. Due to the uncertainty as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, before establishing a process schedule, the commission requested participants to submit comments that addressed the following: (i) the continuation of the currently approved return on equity and deemed equity ratios for a further period of time; (ii) the appropriate test period for the proceeding; (iii) the scope of the proceeding, including whether a formula-based approach to return on equity should be utilized; (iv) the considerations to take into account when establishing the process for the proceeding; and (v) the avoidance of duplicative evidence and greater coordination and collaboration between parties.

In January 2021, AltaLink submitted a letter to the AUC stating that due to ongoing capital market volatility and other COVID-19 related uncertainties there are reasonable grounds for extending the currently approved 2021 return on equity and deemed equity ratio on a final basis for 2022. AltaLink further stated there is insufficient time to complete a full generic cost of capital proceeding in 2021, in order to issue a decision prior to the beginning of 2022 and a formula-based approach should not be considered at this time. AltaLink suggested that a proceeding could be restarted in the third quarter of 2021, for 2023 and subsequent years.

In March 2021, the AUC issued its decision with respect to setting the return on equity and deemed equity ratios for AltaLink. The AUC approved an equity return of 8.5% and an equity ratio of 37% for 2022, based on continuing economic and market uncertainties, the unsettled nature of capital markets, and the need for certainty and stability for Alberta customers.

In April 2021, the Utilities Consumer Advocate filed an application with the Court of Appeal of Alberta requesting permission to appeal the AUC's decision that set the return on equity of 8.5% and equity ratio of 37% on a final basis for 2022. In the appeal, the Utilities Consumer Advocate alleged that the AUC erred by failing to fulfil its statutory obligation of establishing a fair return and by failing to apply procedural fairness. The Utilities Consumer Advocate additionally filed an application with the AUC for review and variance of the AUC's decision. The basis for the application was the same as the permission to appeal filed with the Court of Appeal.

2019 Deferral Accounts Reconciliation Application

In October 2020, AltaLink filed its application with the AUC, which includes 10 projects with total gross capital additions of C$129 million, including applicable AFUDC. In December 2020, AltaLink provided responses to AUC information requests, interveners filed written argument and AltaLink filed reply argument.

In March 2021, the AUC issued its decision on AltaLink's 2019 Deferral Accounts Reconciliation Application. The AUC approved C$128 million of the C$128.5 million of gross capital project additions, disallowing C$0.5 million of capital costs. The AUC also approved the other deferral accounts for taxes other than income taxes, long-term debt and annual structure payments as filed. AltaLink filed its compliance filing in April 2021. In May 2021, the AUC issued its decision approving the compliance filing application as filed.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Each Registrant is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding climate change, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact each Registrant's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state, local and international agencies. Each Registrant believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many laws and regulations are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. The discussion below contains material developments to those matters disclosed in Item 1 of each Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and new environmental matters occurring in 2021.

Climate Change

In December 2015, an international agreement was negotiated by 195 nations to create a universal framework for coordinated action on climate change in what is referred to as the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement reaffirms the goals of limiting global temperature increase well below 2 degrees Celsius, while urging efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius and reaching a global peak of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible to achieve climate neutrality by mid-century; establishes commitments by all parties to make nationally determined contributions and pursue domestic measures aimed at achieving the commitments; commits all countries to submit emissions inventories and report regularly on their emissions and progress made in implementing and achieving their nationally determined commitments; and commits all countries to submit new commitments every five years, with the expectation that the commitments will get more aggressive. In the context of the Paris Agreement, the United States agreed to reduce GHG emissions 26% to 28% by 2025 from 2005 levels. After more than 55 countries representing more than 55% of global GHG emissions submitted their ratification documents, the Paris Agreement became effective November 4, 2016. On June 1, 2017, President Trump announced the United States would begin the process of withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. The United States completed its withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on November 4, 2020. President Biden accepted the terms of the climate agreement January 20, 2021, and the United States completed its reentry February 19, 2021. At a Climate Leaders Summit held April 22 through April 23, 2021, President Biden announced new climate goals to cut GHG 50%-52% economy-wide by 2030 compared to 2005 levels, and to reach 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035. Additional details on how the United States will implement these goals is anticipated to be released through fall 2021.

Regional and State Activities

Several states have promulgated or otherwise participate in state-specific or regional laws or initiatives to report or mitigate GHG emissions. These are expected to impact the relevant Registrant, and include:
On July 27, 2021, the governor of Oregon signed House Bill 2021, which requires utilities to reduce GHG emissions to meet certain clean energy targets. The bill sets a baseline of the average of 2010, 2011, and 2012 emissions and requires utilities to meet the following reductions from that baseline: 80% by 2030, 90% by 2035 and 100% by 2040. No earlier than January 1, 2022, PacifiCorp must file a clean energy plan with the OPUC showing how it will meet the clean energy targets.
50


On May 17, 2021, the state of Washington passed the Climate Commitment Act (Senate Bill 5126), which creates an economy-wide cap-and-trade program to reduce GHG emissions. Under the Climate Commitment Act, the Washington Department of Ecology must establish progressively declining annual allowance budgets for emissions of GHG beginning January 1, 2023. PacifiCorp is subject to the Climate Commitment Act as an importer of electricity into Washington.

Clean Air Act Regulations

The Clean Air Act is a federal law administered by the EPA that provides a framework for protecting and improving the nation's air quality and controlling sources of air emissions. The implementation of new standards is generally outlined in SIPs, which are a collection of regulations, programs and policies to be followed. SIPs vary by state and are subject to public hearings and EPA approval. Some states may adopt additional or more stringent requirements than those implemented by the EPA. The major Clean Air Act programs most directly affecting the Registrants' operations are described below.

GHG Performance Standards

Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA may establish emissions standards that reflect the degree of emissions reductions achievable through the best technology that has been demonstrated, taking into consideration the cost of achieving those reductions and any non-air quality health and environmental impact and energy requirements. On August 3, 2015, the EPA issued final new source performance standards, establishing a standard of 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per MWh for large natural gas-fueled generating facilities and 1,400 pounds of carbon dioxide per MWh for new coal-fueled generating facilities with the "Best System of Emission Reduction" reflecting highly efficient supercritical pulverized coal facilities with partial carbon capture and sequestration or integrated gasification combined-cycle units that are co-fired with natural gas or pre-combustion slipstream capture of carbon dioxide. The new source performance standards were appealed to the D.C. Circuit and oral argument was scheduled for April 17, 2017. However, oral argument was deferred and the court held the case in abeyance for an indefinite period of time. On December 6, 2018, the EPA announced revisions to new source performance standards for new and reconstructed coal-fueled units. EPA proposes to revise carbon dioxide emission limits for new coal-fueled facilities to 1,900 pounds per MWh for small units and 2,000 pounds per MWh for large units. The EPA would define the best system of emission reduction for new and modified units as the most efficient demonstrated steam cycle, combined with best operating practices. On January 12, 2021, EPA finalized a rule focused solely on a significant contribution finding for purposes of regulating source categories' GHG emissions. The final rule sets no specific regulatory standards and contains no regulatory text, nor does it address what constitutes the best system of emission reduction for new, modified and reconstructed electric generating units. EPA confirms in the "significant contribution" rule that electric generating units remain a listed source category under Clean Air Act Section 111(b), reaching that conclusion through the introduction of an emissions threshold framework by which a source category is deemed to contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution due to their GHG emissions if the amount of those emissions exceeds 3% of total GHG emissions in the United States. Under this methodology, no other source category would qualify for regulation. The significant contribution rule will take effect 60 days after publication in the Federal Register but is expected to be quickly revisited by the Biden administration. Because the significant contribution rule did not alter the emission limits or technology requirements of the 2015 rule, any new fossil-fueled generating facilities will be required to meet the GHG new source performance standards. The D.C. Circuit vacated the significant contribution rule April 5, 2021, remanding it for further proceedings.

New Source Performance Standards for Methane Emissions

In August 2020, the EPA finalized regulations to rescind standards for methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. The changes eliminate requirements to regulate methane emissions from the production, processing, transmission and storage of oil and gas. On June 30, 2021, President Biden signed into law a resolution that rescinded the August 2020 rule and reinstated a rule promulgated in 2016. The primary effect of the resolution is that the 2020 rule is treated as never having taken effect. The EPA is developing guidance for stakeholders to comply with the 2016 rule. In addition, reinstating methane rules for new sources imposes a requirement for EPA to also issue rules for existing sources. Until such time as additional regulatory action is taken and litigation is exhausted, the relevant Registrants cannot determine whether additional action may be required.


51


National Ambient Air Quality Standards

Under the authority of the Clean Air Act, the EPA sets minimum NAAQS for six principal pollutants, consisting of carbon monoxide, lead, NOx, particulate matter, ozone and SO2, considered harmful to public health and the environment. Areas that achieve the standards, as determined by ambient air quality monitoring, are characterized as being in attainment, while those that fail to meet the standards are designated as being nonattainment areas. Generally, sources of emissions in a nonattainment area that are determined to contribute to the nonattainment are required to reduce emissions. Currently, with the exceptions described in the following paragraphs, air quality monitoring data indicates that all counties where the relevant Registrant's major emission sources are located are in attainment of the current NAAQS.

In June 2010, the EPA finalized a new NAAQS for SO2. Under the 2010 rule, areas must meet a one-hour standard of 75 parts per billion utilizing a three-year average. The rule utilizes source modeling in addition to the installation of ambient monitors where SO2 emissions impact populated areas. Attainment designations were due by June 2012; however, citing a lack of sufficient information to make the designations, the EPA did not issue its final designations until July 2013 and determined, at that date, that a portion of Muscatine County, Iowa was in nonattainment for the one-hour SO2 standard. MidAmerican Energy's Louisa coal-fueled generating facility is located just outside of Muscatine County, south of the violating monitor. In its final designation, the EPA indicated that it was not yet prepared to conclude that the emissions from the Louisa coal-fueled generating facility contribute to the monitored violation or to other possible violations, and that in a subsequent round of designations, the EPA will make decisions for areas and sources outside Muscatine County. MidAmerican Energy does not believe a subsequent nonattainment designation will have a material impact on the Louisa coal-fueled generating facility. Although the EPA's July 2013 designations did not impact PacifiCorp's nor the Nevada Utilities' generating facilities, the EPA's assessment of SO2 area designations will continue with the deployment of additional SO2 monitoring networks across the country. On February 25, 2019, the EPA issued a decision to retain the 2010 SO2 NAAQS without revision.

The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit against the EPA in August 2013 with respect to the one-hour SO2 standards and its failure to make certain attainment designations in a timely manner. In March 2015, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California ("Northern District of California") accepted as an enforceable order an agreement between the EPA and Sierra Club to resolve litigation concerning the deadline for completing the designations. The Northern District of California's order directed the EPA to complete designations in three phases: the first phase by July 2, 2016; the second phase by December 31, 2017; and the final phase by December 31, 2020. The first phase of the designations require the EPA to designate two groups of areas: 1) areas that have newly monitored violations of the 2010 SO2 standard; and 2) areas that contain any stationary source that, according to the EPA's data, either emitted more than 16,000 tons of SO2 in 2012 or emitted more than 2,600 tons of SO2 and had an emission rate of at least 0.45 lbs/SO2 per million British thermal unit in 2012 and, as of March 2, 2015, had not been announced for retirement. MidAmerican Energy's George Neal Unit 4 and the Ottumwa Generating Station (in which MidAmerican Energy has a majority ownership interest, but does not operate), are included as units subject to the first phase of the designations, having emitted more than 2,600 tons of SO2 and having an emission rate of at least 0.45 lbs/SO2 per million British thermal unit in 2012. States may submit to the EPA updated recommendations and supporting information for the EPA to consider in making its determinations. Iowa submitted documentation to the EPA in April 2016 supporting its recommendation that Des Moines, Wapello and Woodbury Counties be designated as being in attainment of the standard. In July 2016, the EPA's final designations were published in the Federal Register indicating portions of Muscatine County, Iowa were in nonattainment with the 2010 SO2 standard, Woodbury County, Iowa was unclassifiable, and Des Moines and Wapello Counties were unclassifiable/attainment. On March 26, 2021, the EPA issued the last of its final designations for the 2010 primary SO2 standard. Included in this round was designation of Converse County, Wyoming as an Attainment/Unclassifiable area. PacifiCorp's Dave Johnston generating facility is located in Converse County. No further action by PacifiCorp is required.

Cross-State Air Pollution Rule

The EPA promulgated an initial rule in March 2005 to reduce emissions of NOx and SO2, precursors of ozone and particulate matter, from down-wind sources in the eastern United States, including Iowa, to reduce emissions by implementing a plan based on a market-based cap-and-trade system, emissions reductions, or both. After numerous appeals, the CSAPR was promulgated to address interstate transport of SO2 and NOx emissions in 27 eastern and Midwestern states.

52


The first phase of the rule was implemented January 1, 2015. In November 2015, the EPA released a proposed rule that would further reduce NOx emissions in 2017. The final "CSAPR Update Rule" was published in the Federal Register in October 2016 and required additional reductions in NOx emissions beginning in May 2017. On December 6, 2018, EPA finalized a rule to close out the CSAPR, having determined that the CSAPR Update for the 2008 ozone NAAQS fully addressed Clean Air Act interstate transport obligations of 20 eastern states. EPA determined that 2023 is an appropriate future analytic year to evaluate remaining good neighbor obligations and that there will be no remaining nonattainment or maintenance receptors with respect to the 2008 ozone NAAQS in the eastern United States in that year. Accordingly, the 20 CSAPR Update-affected states would not contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance of, any other state with regard to the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Both the CSAPR Update and the CSAPR Close-Out rules were challenged in the D.C. Circuit. The D.C. Circuit ruled September 13, 2019, that because the EPA allowed upwind States to continue to significantly contribute to downwind air quality problems beyond statutory deadlines, the CSAPR Update Rule provided only a partial remedy that did not fully address interstate ozone transport, and remanded the CSAPR Update Rule back to the EPA. The D.C. Circuit issued an opinion October 1, 2019, finding that because the CSAPR Close-Out Rule relied on the same faulty reasoning as the CSAPR Update rule, the CSAPR Close-Out Rule must be vacated. On October 15, 2020, the EPA proposed to tighten caps on emissions of NOx from power plants in 12 states in the CSAPR trading program in response to the D.C. Circuit's decision to vacate the CSAPR Update rule. The rule is intended to fully resolve 21 upwind states' remaining good neighbor obligations under the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Additional emissions reductions are required at power plants in 12 states, including Illinois; the EPA predicts that emissions from the remaining nine states, including Iowa and Texas, will not significantly contribute to downwind states' ability to attain or maintain the ozone standard. The EPA accepted comment on the proposal through December 15, 2020. On March 15, 2021, the EPA finalized the Revised CSAPR Update largely as proposed. Significant new compliance obligations are not anticipated as a result of the rule.

Regional Haze

The EPA's Regional Haze Rule, finalized in 1999, requires states to develop and implement plans to improve visibility in designated federally protected areas ("Class I areas"). Some of PacifiCorp's coal-fueled generating facilities in Utah, Wyoming, Arizona and Colorado and certain of Nevada Power's and Sierra Pacific's fossil-fueled generating facilities are subject to the Clean Air Visibility Rules. In accordance with the federal requirements, states are required to submit SIPs that address emissions from sources subject to BART requirements and demonstrate progress towards achieving natural visibility requirements in Class I areas by 2064.

The state of Wyoming issued two regional haze SIPs requiring the installation of SO2, NOx and particulate matter controls on certain PacifiCorp coal-fueled generating facilities in Wyoming. The EPA approved the SO2 SIP in December 2012 and the EPA's approval was upheld on appeal by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals ("Tenth Circuit") in October 2014. In addition, the EPA initially proposed in June 2012 to disapprove portions of the NOx and particulate matter SIP and instead issue a FIP. The EPA withdrew its initial proposed actions on the NOx and particulate matter SIP and the proposed FIP, published a re-proposed rule in June 2013, and finalized its determination in January 2014, which aligns more closely with the SIP proposed by the state of Wyoming. The EPA's final action on the Wyoming SIP approved the state's plan to have PacifiCorp install low-NOx burners at Naughton Units 1 and 2, SCR controls at Naughton Unit 3 by December 2014, SCR controls at Jim Bridger Units 1 through 4 between 2015 and 2022, and low-NOx burners at Dave Johnston Unit 4. The EPA disapproved a portion of the Wyoming SIP and issued a FIP for Dave Johnston Unit 3, where it required the installation of SCR controls by 2019 or, in lieu of installing SCR controls, a commitment to shut down Dave Johnston Unit 3 by 2027, its currently approved depreciable life. The EPA also disapproved a portion of the Wyoming SIP and issued a FIP for the Wyodak coal-fueled generating facility, requiring the installation of SCR controls within five years (i.e., by 2019). The EPA action became final on March 3, 2014. PacifiCorp filed an appeal of the EPA's final action on Wyodak in March 2014. The state of Wyoming also filed an appeal of the EPA's final action, as did the Powder River Basin Resource Council, National Parks Conservation Association and Sierra Club. In September 2014, the Tenth Circuit issued a stay of the March 2019 compliance deadline for Wyodak, pending further action by the Tenth Circuit in the appeal. The EPA, U.S. Department of Justice, state of Wyoming and PacifiCorp executed a settlement agreement December 16, 2020, removing the requirement to install SCR in lieu of monthly and annual NOx emissions limits. The settlement agreement was subject to a comment period which ended July 6, 2021. Litigation in the Tenth Circuit remains stayed pending finalization of the settlement agreement.

53


The state of Utah issued a regional haze SIP requiring the installation of SO2, NOx and particulate matter controls on Hunter Units 1 and 2, and Huntington Units 1 and 2. In December 2012, the EPA approved the SO2 portion of the Utah regional haze SIP and disapproved the NOx and particulate matter portions. Subsequently, the Utah Division of Air Quality completed an alternative BART analysis for Hunter Units 1 and 2, and Huntington Units 1 and 2. In January 2016, the EPA published two alternative proposals to either approve the Utah SIP as written or reject the Utah SIP relating to NOx controls and require the installation of SCR controls at Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2 within five years. EPA's final action on the Utah regional haze SIP was effective August 4, 2016. The EPA approved in part and disapproved in part the Utah regional haze SIP and issued a FIP requiring the installation of SCR controls at Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2 within five years of the effective date of the rule. PacifiCorp and other parties filed requests with the EPA to reconsider and stay that decision, as well as filed motions for stay and petitions for review with the Tenth Circuit asking the court to overturn the EPA's actions. In July 2017, the EPA issued a letter indicating it would reconsider its FIP decision. In light of the EPA's grant of reconsideration and the EPA's position in the litigation, the Tenth Circuit held the litigation in abeyance and imposed a stay of the compliance obligations of the FIP for the number of days the stay is in effect while the EPA conducts its reconsideration process. To support the reconsideration, PacifiCorp undertook additional air quality modeling using the Comprehensive Air Quality Model with Extensions dispersion model. On January 14, 2019, the state of Utah submitted a SIP revision to the EPA, which includes the updated modeling information and additional analysis. On June 24, 2019, the Utah Air Quality Board unanimously voted to approve the Utah regional haze SIP revision, which incorporates a BART alternative into Utah's regional haze SIP. The BART alternative makes the shutdown of PacifiCorp's Carbon plant enforceable under the SIP and removes the requirement to install SCR technology on Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2. The Utah Division of Air Quality submitted the SIP revision to the EPA for approval at the end of 2019. In January 2020, the EPA published its proposed approval of the Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative, which makes the shutdown of the Carbon plant federally enforceable and adopts as BART the existing NOx controls and emission limits on the Hunter and Huntington plants. The proposed approval withdraws the FIP requirements to install SCR on Hunter Units 1 and 2 and Huntington Units 1 and 2. The EPA released the final rule approving the Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative on October 28, 2020. With the approval, the EPA also finalized its withdrawal of the FIP requirements for the Hunter and Huntington plants. The Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative took effect December 28, 2020. As a result of these actions, the Tenth Circuit dismissed the Utah regional haze petitions on January 11, 2021. On January 19, 2021, Heal Utah, National Parks Conservation Association, Sierra Club and Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment filed a petition for review of the Utah Regional Haze SIP Alternative in the Tenth Circuit. PacifiCorp and the state of Utah moved to intervene in the litigation, which has been stayed pending the Biden administration's review of the rule.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of the Company's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in the Company's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2020.

PacifiCorp

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PacifiCorp and subsidiaries ("PacifiCorp") as of June 30, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in shareholders' equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of PacifiCorp as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of PacifiCorp's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to PacifiCorp in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

PACIFICORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

PacifiCorp, which includes PacifiCorp and its subsidiaries, is a United States regulated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential, commercial, industrial, irrigation and other customers in portions of Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho and California. PacifiCorp owns, or has interests in, a number of thermal, hydroelectric, wind-powered and geothermal generating facilities, as well as electric transmission and distribution assets. PacifiCorp also buys and sells electricity on the wholesale market with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. PacifiCorp is subject to comprehensive state and federal regulation. PacifiCorp's subsidiaries support its electric utility operations by providing coal mining services. PacifiCorp is an indirect subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"), a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income materially equals comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(2)    Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents consist substantially of funds representing vendor retention, custodial and nuclear decommissioning funds. Restricted amounts are included in other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

(1)Computer software costs included in intangible plant are initially assigned a depreciable life of 5 to 10 years.

Effective January 1, 2021, PacifiCorp revised its depreciation rates based on its recent depreciation study that was approved by its state regulatory commissions, other than in California. The approved depreciation rates resulted in an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $44 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, and $81 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 based on historical property, plant and equipment balances and including depreciation of certain coal-fueled generating units in Washington over accelerated periods.

(4)    Recent Financing Transactions

Long-term Debt

In July 2021, PacifiCorp issued $1 billion of its 2.90% First Mortgage Bonds due June 2052. PacifiCorp used the net proceeds to finance a portion of the capital expenditures disbursed during the period from July 1, 2019 to May 31, 2021 with respect to investments, primarily from the Energy Vision 2020 initiative, in the repowering of certain of its existing wind-powered generating facilities and the construction and acquisition of new wind-powered generating facilities, which were previously financed with PacifiCorp's general funds.

Credit Facilities

In June 2021, PacifiCorp terminated, upon lender consent, its existing $600 million unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2022. In June 2021, PacifiCorp amended and restated its other existing $600 million unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2022 with one remaining one-year extension option. The amendment increased the lender commitment to $1.2 billion, extended the expiration date to June 2024 and increased the available maturity extension options to an unlimited number, subject to lender consent.

(5)    Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax expense is as follows:
Three-Month PeriodsSix-Month Periods
Ended June 30,Ended June 30,
2021202020212020
Federal statutory income tax rate21 %21 %21 %21 %

Federal income tax credits(19)(9)(19)(10)
Effects of ratemaking(15)(2)(14)(11)
Other 1   
Effective income tax rate(9)%14 %(8)%3 %

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTC") earned by PacifiCorp's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service.

Effects of ratemaking for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is primarily attributable to the activity associated with excess deferred income taxes, including the use of excess deferred income taxes of $3 million to amortize certain regulatory asset balances in Wyoming during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 and $30 million to accelerate depreciation of certain retired wind equipment in Oregon during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and its subsidiaries in its United States federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, PacifiCorp's provision for federal and state income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 PacifiCorp received net cash payments for federal and state income tax from BHE totaling $93 million. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 PacifiCorp made net cash payments for federal and state income tax to BHE totaling $42 million.

Amounts other than the service cost for pension and other postretirement benefit plans are recorded in Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are expected to be $4 million and $1 million, respectively, during 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $2 million of contributions had been made to the pension plans.

(7)    Risk Management and Hedging Activities

PacifiCorp is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. PacifiCorp is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk as it has an obligation to serve retail customer load in its service territories. PacifiCorp's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. PacifiCorp does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities.

PacifiCorp has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, manage and report each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, PacifiCorp uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. PacifiCorp manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, PacifiCorp may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate PacifiCorp's exposure to interest rate risk. No interest rate derivatives were in place during the periods presented. PacifiCorp does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices.

There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on derivative contracts.

The following table, which reflects master netting arrangements and excludes contracts that have been designated as normal under the normal purchases or normal sales exception afforded by GAAP, summarizes the fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts, on a gross basis, and reconciles those amounts to the amounts presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Credit Risk

PacifiCorp is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent PacifiCorp's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, PacifiCorp analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, PacifiCorp enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtains third‑party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, PacifiCorp exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement.

Collateral and Contingent Features

In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of June 30, 2021, PacifiCorp's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade.

The aggregate fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $42 million and $51 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for which PacifiCorp had posted collateral of $5 million and $24 million, respectively, in the form of cash deposits. If all credit-risk-related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $27 million and $25 million, respectively, of additional collateral. PacifiCorp's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of PacifiCorp's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. PacifiCorp has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that PacifiCorp has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect PacifiCorp's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. PacifiCorp develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

(2)Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents, other current assets and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which PacifiCorp transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, PacifiCorp uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent PacifiCorp's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. PacifiCorp bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent energy brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by PacifiCorp. Market price quotations for certain major electricity and natural gas trading hubs are generally readily obtainable for the first three years; therefore, PacifiCorp's forward price curves for those locations and periods reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for other electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable for the first three years. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, PacifiCorp uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts. Refer to Note 7 for further discussion regarding PacifiCorp's risk management and hedging activities.

PacifiCorp's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, PacifiCorp uses a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.

68


PacifiCorp's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of PacifiCorp's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of PacifiCorp's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of PacifiCorp's long-term debt (in millions):

(9)    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

PacifiCorp is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. PacifiCorp does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results. PacifiCorp is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert or may assert claims or seek to impose fines, penalties and other costs in substantial amounts and are described below.

    California and Oregon 2020 Wildfires

In September 2020, a severe weather event resulting in high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, private and public property damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate. Third party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures, including residences, destroyed; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities. Fire suppression costs estimated by various agencies total approximately $150 million. Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and being conducted by various entities, including the United States Forest Service, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp.
Several lawsuits have been filed in Oregon and California, including a putative class action complaint in Oregon, on behalf of citizens and businesses who suffered damages from fires allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. The final determinations of liability, however, will only be made following comprehensive investigations and litigation processes.

In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could nevertheless be found liable for all damages proximately caused by negligence, including property and natural resource damage; fire suppression costs; personal injury and loss of life damages; and interest.

As of June 30, 2021, PacifiCorp has accrued $136 million as its best estimate of the potential losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the 2020 Wildfires that are considered probable of being incurred. These accruals include estimated losses for fire suppression costs, property damage, personal injury damages and loss of life damages. It is reasonably possible that PacifiCorp will incur additional losses beyond the amounts accrued; however, PacifiCorp is currently unable to estimate the range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved and the lack of specific claims for all potential claimants. To the extent losses beyond the amounts accrued are incurred, additional insurance coverage is expected to be available to cover at least a portion of the losses.

69


Environmental Laws and Regulations

PacifiCorp is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding air and water quality, renewable portfolio standards, emissions performance standards, climate change, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact PacifiCorp's current and future operations. PacifiCorp believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

    Hydroelectric Relicensing

PacifiCorp is a party to the 2016 amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement ("KHSA"), which is intended to resolve disputes surrounding PacifiCorp's efforts to relicense the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. The KHSA establishes a process for PacifiCorp, the states of Oregon and California ("States") and other stakeholders to assess whether dam removal can occur consistent with the settlement's terms. For PacifiCorp, the key elements of the settlement include: (1) a contribution from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers capped at $200 million plus $250 million in California bond funds; (2) complete indemnification from harms associated with dam removal; (3) transfer of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") license to a third-party dam removal entity, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC"), who would conduct dam removal; and (4) ability for PacifiCorp to operate the facilities for the benefit of customers until dam removal commences.

In September 2016, the KRRC and PacifiCorp filed a joint application with the FERC to transfer the license for the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC. The FERC approved partial transfer of the Klamath license in a July 2020 order, subject to the condition that PacifiCorp remains co-licensee. Under the amended KHSA, PacifiCorp did not agree to remain co-licensee during the surrender and removal process given concerns about liability protections for PacifiCorp and its customers. In November 2020, PacifiCorp entered a memorandum of agreement (the "MOA") with the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States to continue implementation of the KHSA. The agreement required the States, PacifiCorp and KRRC to file a new license transfer application by January 16, 2021 to remove PacifiCorp from the license for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project and add the States and KRRC as co-licensees for the purposes of surrender. On January 13, 2021, the new license transfer application was filed with the FERC, notifying it that PacifiCorp and the KRRC are not accepting co-licensee status under FERC's July 2020 order, and instead are seeking the license transfer outcome described in the new license transfer application. In addition, the MOA provides for additional contingency funding of $45 million, equally split between PacifiCorp and the States, and for PacifiCorp and the States to equally share in any additional cost overruns in the unlikely event that dam removal costs exceed the $450 million in funding to ensure dam removal is complete. The MOA also requires PacifiCorp to cover the costs associated with certain pre-existing environmental conditions. In June 2021, the FERC approved transfer of the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States as co-licensees. The transfer will be effective after PacifiCorp secures property transfer approvals from its state public utility commissions and 30 days following the issuance of a license surrender order from the FERC for the project. In July 2021, the Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho and California state public utility commissions approved the property transfer.

Guarantees

PacifiCorp has entered into guarantees as part of the normal course of business and the sale of certain assets. These guarantees are not expected to have a material impact on PacifiCorp's consolidated financial results.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of PacifiCorp during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with PacifiCorp's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10‑Q. PacifiCorp's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2021 and 2020

Overview

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $225 million, an increase of $59 million, or 36%, compared to 2020. Net income increased primarily due to higher utility margin of $96 million, favorable income tax expense primarily due to the impacts of ratemaking of $27 million and higher PTCs recognized due to new wind-powered generating facilities placed in-service of $23 million, and lower property taxes of $9 million, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense of $65 million, including the impacts of the depreciation study for which rates became effective January 2021, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction of $17 million and higher operations and maintenance expense of $12 million. Utility margin increased primarily due to the higher retail, wheeling, and wholesale revenue, higher deferred net power costs in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms and lower purchased electricity volumes, partially offset by higher purchased electricity prices and higher thermal generation costs. Retail customer volumes increased 11.6%, primarily due to higher customer usage, favorable impacts of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated increased 26% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher coal-fueled, natural gas-fueled and wind-powered generation, partially offset by lower hydroelectric generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 33% and purchased electricity volumes decreased 22%.

Net income for the first six months of 2021 was $394 million, an increase of $52 million, or 15%, compared to 2020. Net income increased primarily due to higher utility margin of $125 million, favorable income tax expense primarily from higher PTCs recognized due to new wind-powered generating facilities placed in-service of $37 million, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense of $77 million, including the impacts of the depreciation study for which rates became effective January 2021, lower allowances for equity and borrowed funds used during construction of $29 million, and higher operations and maintenance expense of $17 million. Utility margin increased primarily due to the higher retail, wholesale, and wheeling revenue, higher deferred net power costs in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms and lower purchased electricity volumes, partially offset by higher purchased electricity prices and higher thermal generation costs. Retail customer volumes increased 5.7%, primarily due to higher customer usage, favorable impacts of weather and an increase in the average number of customers. Energy generated increased 16% for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher coal-fueled, wind-powered, and natural gas-fueled generation, partially offset by lower hydroelectric generation. Wholesale electricity sales volumes increased 28% and purchased electricity volumes decreased 17%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Utility margin is calculated as operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

PacifiCorp's cost of fuel and energy is generally recovered from its customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in PacifiCorp's revenue are comparable to changes in such expenses. As such, management believes utility margin more appropriately and concisely explains profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of fuel and energy separately. Management believes the presentation of utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.
Utility margin is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for operating income which is the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended June 30, 2021 compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

Utility margin increased $96 million, or 13%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
$124 million increase in retail revenue primarily due to higher customer volumes, partially offset by lower rates due to certain general rate case orders. Retail customer volumes increased 11.6%, primarily due to higher customer usage, the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers;
$56 million of higher deferred net power costs in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms;
$14 million of higher wheeling revenue; and
$7 million of higher wholesale revenue from higher wholesale volumes, partially offset by lower average wholesale market prices.
The increases above were partially offset by:
$55 million of higher purchased electricity costs from higher average market prices, partially offset by lower volumes;
$34 million of higher natural gas-fueled generation costs due to higher average prices and higher volumes; and
$20 million of higher coal-fueled generation costs primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower average prices.
Operations and maintenance increased $12 million, or 5%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher plant maintenance costs, partially offset by lower employee related expenses and bad debt expense.

Depreciation and amortization increased $65 million, or 31%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the impacts of a depreciation study effective January 1, 2021 of approximately $44 million, including accelerated depreciation on coal-fueled units in Washington, incremental decommissioning as a result of general rate case orders, and higher plant-in-service balances.

Property and other taxes decreased $9 million, or 17%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower property taxes from lower assessed property values.
Allowance for borrowed and equity funds decreased $17 million, or 49%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower qualified construction work-in-progress balances.

Income tax (benefit) expense decreased $45 million to a benefit of $19 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to expense of $26 million for the second quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate was (9)% for 2021 and 14% for 2020. The effective tax rate decreased primarily as a result of higher effects of ratemaking associated with excess deferred income tax amortization in the current year and increased PTCs from PacifiCorp's new wind-powered generating facilities.

First Six Months of 2021 compared to First Six Months of 2020

Utility margin increased $125 million, or 8%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
$144 million increase in retail revenue primarily due to higher customer volumes, partially offset by lower rates due to certain general rate case orders. Retail customer volumes increased 5.7%, primarily due to higher customer usage, the favorable impact of weather and an increase in the average number of customers;
$48 million of higher deferred net power costs in accordance with established adjustment mechanisms;
$22 million of higher wholesale revenue due to higher wholesale volumes and higher average wholesale market prices; and
$17 million of higher wheeling revenue.
75


The increases above were partially offset by:
$46 million of higher natural gas-fueled generation costs due to higher average prices and higher volumes;
$37 million of higher purchased electricity costs due to higher average prices, partially offset by lower volumes; and
$26 million of higher coal-fueled generation costs primarily due to higher volumes, partially offset by lower average prices.
Operations and maintenance increased $17 million, or 3%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher vegetation management costs and higher plant maintenance costs, partially offset by lower bad debt expense.

Depreciation and amortization increased $77 million, or 17%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to the impacts of a depreciation study effective January 1, 2021 of approximately $81 million, including accelerated depreciation on coal-fueled units in Washington, incremental decommissioning as a result of general rate case orders and higher placed-in-service balances, partially offset by a $44 million decrease resulting from lower accelerated depreciation for Oregon's share of certain retired wind equipment due to repowering ($3 million in the first quarter of 2021 (fully offset in other revenue) compared to $47 million in the first quarter of 2020 ($7 million offset in other revenue and $40 million offset in income tax expense)).

Allowance for borrowed and equity funds decreased $29 million, or 44%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower qualified construction work-in-progress balances.

Other, net increased $6 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to market movements related to corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Income tax (benefit) expense decreased $42 million to a benefit of $30 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to expense of $12 million the first six months of 2020. The effective tax rate was (8)% for 2021 and 3% for 2020. The effective tax rate decreased primarily as a result of increased PTCs from PacifiCorp's new wind-powered generating facilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, PacifiCorp's total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents$44 
 
Credit facilities1,200 
Less:
Short-term debt(301)
Tax-exempt bond support(218)
Net credit facilities681 
 
Total net liquidity$725 
 
Credit facilities:
Maturity dates2024 
Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $1,046 million and $770 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher cash received for income taxes, higher collections from retail customers, and higher collateral received related to natural gas swaps, partially offset by higher operating expense payments.

The timing of PacifiCorp's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions for each payment date.

76


Investing Activities

Net cash flows from investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $(819) million and $(944) million, respectively. The change is primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $154 million and prior year proceeds from the settlement of notes receivable of $25 million associated with the sale of certain Utah mining assets in 2015. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for discussion of capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 was $(196) million. Sources of cash consisted of $208 million from the borrowing of short-term debt. Uses of cash consisted substantially of $400 million for the repayment of long-term debt.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was $857 million. Sources of cash consisted of net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $987 million. Uses of cash consisted of $130 million for the repayment of short-term debt.

Short-term Debt

Regulatory authorities limit PacifiCorp to $1.5 billion of short-term debt. As of June 30, 2021, PacifiCorp had $301 million of short-term debt outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 0.17%. As of December 31, 2020, PacifiCorp had $93 million of short-term debt outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 0.16%.    

Long-term Debt

In July 2021, PacifiCorp issued $1 billion of its 2.90% First Mortgage Bonds due June 2052. PacifiCorp used the net proceeds to finance a portion of the capital expenditures disbursed during the period from July 1, 2019 to May 31, 2021 with respect to investments, primarily from the Energy Vision 2020 initiative, in the repowering of certain of its existing wind-powered generating facilities and the construction and acquisition of new wind-powered generating facilities, which were previously financed with PacifiCorp's general funds.

Debt Authorizations

Following the July 2021 long-term debt issuance, PacifiCorp has regulatory authority from the OPUC and the IPUC to issue an additional $2 billion of long-term debt. PacifiCorp must make a notice filing with the WUTC prior to any future issuance. PacifiCorp currently has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an indeterminate amount of first mortgage bonds through September 2023.

Future Uses of Cash

PacifiCorp has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which PacifiCorp has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including PacifiCorp's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.

Capital Expenditures

PacifiCorp has significant future capital requirements. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, impacts to customers' rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.

Other123 275 544 
Total$973 $819 $1,782 

PacifiCorp's 2019 IRP identified a significant increase in renewable resource generation and associated transmission. PacifiCorp has included an estimate of the 2019 IRP resources in its forecast capital expenditures for 2021 through 2023. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the RFP process. PacifiCorp's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

Wind generation includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects include:
Construction of wind-powered generating facilities at PacifiCorp totaling $79 million and $395 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Construction includes 674 MWs of new wind-powered generating facilities that were placed in-service in 2020, 476 MWs that were placed in service in the first six months of 2021 and an additional 40 MWs expected to be placed in-service in the second half of 2021. The energy production for these new facilities is expected to qualify for 100% of the federal PTCs available for 10 years once the equipment is placed in-service. PacifiCorp's 2019 IRP identified 1,920 MWs of new wind-powered generating resources that are expected to come online in 2024. PacifiCorp anticipates that the additional new wind-powered generation will be a mixture of owned and contracted resources. PacifiCorp anticipates costs associated with the construction of wind-powered generating facilities will total an additional $39 million for 2021.
Repowering of wind-powered generating facilities at PacifiCorp totaling $3 million and $46 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Certain repowering projects for existing facilities were placed in service in 2019, 2020 and in the first six months of 2021. The energy production from these existing repowered facilities is expected to qualify for 100% of the federal renewable electricity PTCs available for 10 years following each facility's return to service. Planned additional spending for repowering of wind-powered generating facilities totals $47 million for 2021.
Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Operating expenditures includes planned spend on wildfire mitigation, wildfire damage restoration and storm damage repairs. Expenditures for these items totaled $117 million and $12 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. PacifiCorp anticipates costs associated with these activities will total an additional $90 million in the second half of 2021. Remaining investments relate to expenditures for new connections and distribution.

Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Transmission investment through 2020 primarily reflects costs for the 140-mile 500-kV Aeolus-Bridger/Anticline transmission line, a major segment of PacifiCorp's Energy Gateway Transmission expansion program, placed in-service in November 2020. Planned spending for additional Energy Gateway Transmission segments to be placed in service in 2024-2026 totals $112 million in 2021.

Other includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Expenditures for information technology totaled $47 million and $31 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. PacifiCorp anticipates costs associated with information technology will total an additional $100 million for 2021. Remaining investments relate to operating projects that consist of routine expenditures for generation and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

Requests for Proposals

PacifiCorp issues individual RFPs to procure resources identified in the IRP or resources driven by customer demands. The IRP and the RFPs provide for the identification and staged procurement of resources to meet load or state-specific compliance obligations. Depending upon the specific RFP, applicable laws and regulations may require PacifiCorp to file draft RFPs with the UPSC, the OPUC and the WUTC. Approval by the UPSC, the OPUC or the WUTC may be required depending on the nature of the RFPs.

PacifiCorp issued the 2020 All Source RFP to the market in July 2020. The 2020 All Source RFP sought bids for resources capable of coming online by the end of 2024 up to the level of resources identified in PacifiCorp's 2019 IRP. An initial shortlist was identified in October 2020. The final shortlist of winning bids was submitted to OPUC in June 2021. PacifiCorp will initiate negotiations with shortlisted bids that include approximately 1,792 MWs of new wind capacity, 1,306 MWs of solar capacity and 697 MWs of battery storage to its portfolio by 2024. PacifiCorp expects that 590 MWs of the 1,792 MWs of new wind capacity will be owned with the remainder of the wind, solar and storage capacity being contracted resources.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Regulatory Matters

PacifiCorp is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding PacifiCorp's current regulatory matters.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

PacifiCorp is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, wildfire prevention and mitigation, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact PacifiCorp's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. PacifiCorp believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and PacifiCorp is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and financial results.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition-unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of PacifiCorp's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of PacifiCorp's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2020.

MidAmerican Energy Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") as of June 30, 2021, the related statements of operations and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the balance sheet of MidAmerican Energy as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of MidAmerican Energy's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to MidAmerican Energy in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") is a public utility with electric and natural gas operations and is the principal subsidiary of MHC Inc. ("MHC"). MHC is a holding company that conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries. MHC's nonregulated subsidiary is Midwest Capital Group, Inc. MHC is the direct, wholly owned subsidiary of MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding"), which is an Iowa limited liability company with Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE") as its sole member. BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa, that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Energy's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(2)    Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist substantially of funds restricted for wildlife preservation. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as presented in the Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Balance Sheets (in millions):

(4)    Regulatory Matters

Natural Gas Purchased for Resale

In February 2021, severe cold weather over the central United States caused disruptions in natural gas supply from the southern part of the United States. These disruptions, combined with increased demand, resulted in historically high prices for natural gas purchased for resale to MidAmerican Energy's retail customers and caused an approximate $245 million increase in natural gas costs above those normally expected. These increased costs are reflected in cost of natural gas purchased for resale and other on the Statement of Operations and their recovery through the Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause is reflected in regulated natural gas and other revenue.

To mitigate the impact to MidAmerican Energy's customers, the Iowa Utilities Board ordered the recovery of these higher costs to be applied to customer bills over the period April 2021 through April 2022 based on a customer's monthly natural gas usage. While sufficient liquidity is available to MidAmerican Energy, the increased costs and longer recovery period resulted in higher working capital requirements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

88


(5)    Recent Financing Transactions

Long-Term Debt

In July 2021, MidAmerican Energy issued $500 million of its 2.70% First Mortgage Bonds due August 2052. MidAmerican Energy used the net proceeds to finance a portion of the capital expenditures, disbursed during the period from July 22, 2019 to September 27, 2019, with respect to investments in its 2,000-megawatt Wind XI project, its 592-megawatt Wind XII project, its 207-megawatt Wind XII Expansion project and the repowering of certain of its existing wind-powered generating facilities, which were previously financed with MidAmerican Energy's general funds.

Credit Facilities

In June 2021, MidAmerican Energy amended and restated its existing $900 million unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2022. The amendment increased the commitment of the lenders to $1.5 billion, extended the expiration date to June 2024 and increased the available maturity extension options to an unlimited number, subject to consent of the lenders. Additionally, in June 2021, MidAmerican Energy terminated its existing $600 million unsecured credit facility expiring in August 2021.

(6)    Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to MidAmerican Energy's effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax benefit is as follows:
Three-Month PeriodsSix-Month Periods
Ended June 30,Ended June 30,
2021202020212020
Federal statutory income tax rate21 %21 %21 %21 %
Income tax credits(271)(186)(634)(257)
State income tax, net of federal income tax impacts(31)(35)(32)(33)
Effects of ratemaking(15)(9)(21)(7)
Other, net2 2  1 
Effective income tax rate(294)%(207)%(666)%(275)%

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTCs") from MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. MidAmerican Energy recognizes its renewable electricity PTCs throughout the year based on when the credits are earned and excludes them from the annual effective tax rate that is the basis for the interim recognition of other income tax expense. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $146 million and $127 million, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $297 million and $247 million, respectively.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its United States federal and Iowa state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Energy's provision for income tax has been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. The timing of MidAmerican Energy's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions for each payment date. MidAmerican Energy received net cash payments for income tax from BHE totaling $558 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, and made net cash payments for income tax to BHE totaling $19 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

(7)    Employee Benefit Plans

MidAmerican Energy sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering a majority of all employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy, Inc. MidAmerican Energy also sponsors certain postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits covering substantially all retired employees of BHE and its domestic energy subsidiaries other than PacifiCorp and NV Energy, Inc.

Amounts other than the service cost for pension and other postretirement benefit plans are recorded in Other, net in the Statements of Operations. Employer contributions to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans are expected to be $7 million and $12 million, respectively, during 2021. As of June 30, 2021, $4 million and $6 million of contributions had been made to the pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. MidAmerican Energy has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that MidAmerican Energy has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect MidAmerican Energy's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. MidAmerican Energy develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

91


MidAmerican Energy's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are stated at fair value, with debt securities accounted for as available-for-sale securities. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.

MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Balance Sheets. The fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Energy's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Energy's long-term debt (in millions):

(9)    Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Commitments

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, MidAmerican Energy entered into firm construction commitments totaling $558 million through the remainder of 2021 and 2022 related to the repowering and construction of wind-powered generating facilities and the construction of solar-powered generating facilities.

Easements

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, MidAmerican Energy entered into non-cancelable easements with minimum payment commitments totaling $87 million through 2061 for land in Iowa on which some of its wind- and solar-powered generating facilities will be located.

Legal Matters

MidAmerican Energy is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. MidAmerican Energy does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its financial results.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

MidAmerican Energy is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, renewable portfolio standards, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. MidAmerican Energy believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

92


Transmission Rates

MidAmerican Energy's wholesale transmission rates are set annually using Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")-approved formula rates subject to true-up for actual cost of service. MidAmerican Energy is authorized by the FERC to include a 0.50% adder beyond the approved base return on equity ("ROE") effective January 2015. Prior to September 2016, the rates in effect were based on a 12.38% ROE. In November 2013 and February 2015, a coalition of intervenors filed successive complaints with the FERC requesting that the 12.38% ROE no longer be found just and reasonable and sought to reduce the base ROE to 9.15% and 8.67%, respectively. In September 2016, the FERC issued an order for the first complaint, which reduces the base ROE to 10.32% and required refunds, plus interest, for the period from November 2013 through February 2015. Customer refunds relative to the first complaint occurred in February 2017. In November 2019, the FERC issued an order addressing the second complaint and issues on appeal in the first complaint. The order established a ROE of 9.88% (10.38% including the 0.50% adder) for the 15-month refund period of the first complaint and prospectively from September 2016 forward. In May 2020, the FERC issued an order on rehearing of the November 2019 order. The May 2020 order affirmed the FERC's prior decision to dismiss the second complaint and established an ROE of 10.02% (10.52% including the 0.50% adder) for the 15-month refund period of the first complaint and prospectively from September 2016 to the date of the May 2020 order. These orders continue to be subject to judicial appeal. MidAmerican Energy cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters and, as of June 30, 2021, has accrued a $10 million liability for refunds of amounts collected under the higher ROE during the periods covered by both complaints.

(11)    Segment Information

MidAmerican Energy has identified two reportable segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding, LLC and subsidiaries ("MidAmerican Funding") as of June 30, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in member's equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of MidAmerican Funding as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of MidAmerican Funding's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to MidAmerican Funding in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB and with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

MIDAMERICAN FUNDING, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

MidAmerican Funding, LLC ("MidAmerican Funding") is an Iowa limited liability company with Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE") as its sole member. BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa, that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway"). MidAmerican Funding's direct, wholly owned subsidiary is MHC Inc. ("MHC"), which constitutes substantially all of MidAmerican Funding's assets, liabilities and business activities except those related to MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt securities. MHC conducts no business other than the ownership of its subsidiaries. MHC's principal subsidiary is MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy"), a public utility with electric and natural gas operations, and its direct, wholly owned nonregulated subsidiary is Midwest Capital Group, Inc.

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021, and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income materially equals comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in MidAmerican Funding's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(2)    Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist substantially of funds restricted for wildlife preservation. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

(6)    Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to MidAmerican Funding's effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax benefit is as follows:
Three-Month PeriodsSix-Month Periods
Ended June 30,Ended June 30,

Effects of ratemaking(16)(9)(26)(7)
Other, net 2  1 
Effective income tax rate(314)%(215)%(810)%(289)%

Income tax credits relate primarily to production tax credits ("PTCs") from MidAmerican Energy's wind-powered generating facilities. Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. MidAmerican Funding recognizes its renewable electricity PTCs throughout the year based on when the credits are earned and excludes them from the annual effective tax rate that is the basis for the interim recognition of other income tax expense. Wind-powered generating facilities are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $146 million and $127 million, respectively, and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $297 million and $247 million, respectively.

Berkshire Hathaway includes BHE and subsidiaries in its United States federal and Iowa state income tax returns. Consistent with established regulatory practice, MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's provisions for income tax have been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of their currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. The timing of MidAmerican Funding's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions for each payment date. MidAmerican Funding received net cash payments for income tax from BHE totaling $560 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, and made net cash payments for income tax to BHE totaling $19 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

Refer to Note 8 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements. MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of MidAmerican Funding's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of MidAmerican Funding's long-term debt (in millions):

(9)    Commitments and Contingencies

MidAmerican Funding is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. MidAmerican Funding does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.

Refer to Note 9 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements.

(10)    Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Refer to Note 10 of MidAmerican Energy's Notes to Financial Statements. Additionally, MidAmerican Funding had other Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 revenue of $— million and $3 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $— million and $8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

104


(11)    Segment Information

MidAmerican Funding has identified two reportable segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost. "Other" in the tables below consists of the financial results and assets of nonregulated operations, MHC and MidAmerican Funding.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of MidAmerican Funding and its subsidiaries and MidAmerican Energy during the periods included herein. Information in Management's Discussion and Analysis related to MidAmerican Energy, whether or not segregated, also relates to MidAmerican Funding. Information related to other subsidiaries of MidAmerican Funding pertains only to the discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of MidAmerican Funding. Where necessary, discussions have been segregated under the heading "MidAmerican Funding" to allow the reader to identify information applicable only to MidAmerican Funding. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with MidAmerican Funding's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and MidAmerican Energy's historical unaudited Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. MidAmerican Funding's and MidAmerican Energy's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2021 and 2020

Overview

MidAmerican Energy -

MidAmerican Energy's net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $213 million, an increase of $4 million, or 2%, compared to 2020 primarily due to higher electric utility margin of $36 million and a favorable income tax benefit of $18 million, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense of $34 million from additional assets placed in-service and a regulatory mechanism deferring certain depreciation expense in 2020, lower natural gas utility margin from lower customer volumes and unfavorable changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies. The favorable income tax benefit was mainly due to higher PTCs recognized from higher wind-powered generation, driven primarily by new wind projects placed in-service. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail customer volumes.

MidAmerican Energy's net income for the first six months of 2021 was $360 million, unchanged from 2020, primarily due to higher depreciation and amortization expense of $65 million from additional assets placed in-service and a regulatory mechanism deferring certain depreciation expense in 2020 and $30 million higher operations and maintenance expenses, partially offset by a favorable income tax benefit of $49 million and higher electric utility margin of $39 million. Higher operations and maintenance expenses included increased costs associated with additional wind-powered generating facilities placed in-service as well as higher electric and natural gas distribution costs. The favorable income tax benefit was mainly due to higher PTCs recognized from higher wind-powered generation, driven primarily by new wind projects placed in-service. Electric utility margin increased primarily due to higher retail customer volumes, partially offset by lower wholesale utility margin from a lower average per-unit margin due to higher thermal generation and purchased power costs.

MidAmerican Funding -

MidAmerican Funding's net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $211 million, an increase of $3 million, or 1%, compared to 2020. MidAmerican Funding's net income for the first six months of 2021 was $355 million, a decrease of $3 million, or 1%, compared to 2020. The variances in net income were primarily due to the changes in MidAmerican Energy's earnings discussed above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Electric utility margin is calculated as regulated electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Statements of Operations. Natural gas utility margin is calculated as regulated natural gas operating revenue less regulated cost of natural gas purchased for resale, which are included in regulated natural gas and other and cost of natural gas purchased for resale and other, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.


106


MidAmerican Energy's cost of fuel and energy and cost of natural gas purchased for resale are generally recovered from its retail customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms, and as a result, changes in MidAmerican Energy's expense included in regulatory recovery mechanisms result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin more appropriately and concisely explain profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.

Electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income, which is the most comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to MidAmerican Energy's operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

MidAmerican Energy -

Electric utility margin increased $36 million, or 8%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, due to:
a $39 million increase in retail utility margin primarily due to $23 million from higher usage for certain industrial customers; $7 million from the favorable impact of weather; $6 million, net of energy costs, from higher recoveries through bill riders (offset in operations and maintenance expense and income tax benefit); and $2 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix; partially offset by
a $3 million decrease in Multi-Value Projects ("MVP") transmission revenue; as
wholesale utility margin was unchanged due to the increase in sales volumes being offset by lower margins per unit, reflecting higher energy costs.
Natural gas utility margin decreased $4 million, or 8%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
a $6 million decrease from lower average prices primarily due to the timing of recoveries through a capital tracker mechanism; and
a $1 million decrease from the unfavorable impact of weather; partially offset by
109


a $3 million increase from higher natural gas energy efficiency program revenue (offset in operations and maintenance expense).
Operations and maintenance increased $2 million, or 1%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher energy efficiency program expense of $5 million (offset in operating revenue) and higher electric and natural gas distribution costs of $3 million, partially offset by lower employee-related expenses.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 2021 increased $34 million, or 19%, compared to 2020 primarily due to wind-powered generating facilities and other plant placed in-service and $13 million from a regulatory mechanism deferring certain depreciation expense in 2020.

Allowance for borrowed and equity funds decreased $3 million, or 23%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower construction work-in-progress balances related to wind-powered generation.

Other, net decreased $6 million, or 29%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower cash surrender values of corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Income tax benefit increased $18 million, or 13%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, and the effective tax rate was (294)% for 2021 and (207)% for 2020. The change in the effective tax rates for 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to the higher PTCs and a lower pretax income.

Federal renewable electricity PTCs are earned as energy from qualifying wind-powered generating facilities is produced and sold and are based on a per-kilowatt hour rate pursuant to the applicable federal income tax law. Wind-powered generating facilities, including those facilities where a significant portion of the equipment was replaced, commonly referred to as repowered facilities, are eligible for the credits for 10 years from the date the qualifying generating facilities are placed in-service. PTCs for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 totaled $146 million and $127 million, respectively.

MidAmerican Funding -

Income tax benefit increased $18 million, or 13%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, and the effective tax rate was (314)% for 2021 and (215)% for 2020. The changes in the effective tax rates were due to the factors discussed for MidAmerican Energy.

First Six Months of 2021 compared to First Six Months of 2020

MidAmerican Energy -

Electric utility margin increased $39 million, or 5%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, due to:
a $54 million increase in retail utility margin primarily due to $22 million from higher usage for certain industrial customers; $13 million from the favorable impact of weather; $12 million, net of energy costs, from higher recoveries through bill riders (offset in operations and maintenance expense and income tax benefit); and $7 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix; partially offset by
a $12 million decrease in wholesale utility margin due to lower margins per unit, reflecting higher energy costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes of 58.7%; and
a $3 million decrease in MVP transmission revenue.
Natural gas utility margin decreased $5 million, or 4%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
a $7 million decrease from higher refunds related to amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes arising from 2017 Tax Reform (offset in income tax benefit);
a $6 million decrease from lower average prices primarily due to the timing of a capital cost tracking mechanism; partially offset by
a $6 million increase in natural gas energy efficiency program revenue (offset in operations and maintenance expense); and
a $1 million increase from the favorable impact of weather.

110


Operations and maintenance increased $30 million, or 9%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher energy efficiency program expense of $10 million (offset in operating revenue), higher generation operations and maintenance expenses of $9 million due to additional wind turbines and easements and higher electric and natural gas distribution costs of $8 million.

Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 2021 increased $65 million, or 19%, compared to 2020 primarily due to wind-powered generating facilities and other plant placed in-service and $26 million from a regulatory mechanism deferring certain depreciation expense in 2020.

Interest expense decreased $2 million, or 1%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 due to lower average interest rates on variable rate long-term debt.

Allowance for borrowed and equity funds decreased $6 million, or 25%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower construction work-in-progress balances related to wind-powered generation.

Other, net increased $10 million, or 63%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher cash surrender values of corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Income tax benefit increased $49 million, or 19%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, and the effective tax rate was (666)% for 2021 and (275)% for 2020. The change in the effective tax rates for 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to the higher PTCs and a lower pretax income, partially offset by the effects of ratemaking. PTCs for the first six months of 2021 and 2020 totaled $297 million and $247 million, respectively.

MidAmerican Funding -

Income tax benefit increased $50 million, or 19%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, and the effective tax rate was (810)% for 2021 and (289)% for 2020. The changes in the effective tax rates were principally due to the factors discussed for MidAmerican Energy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, the total net liquidity for MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding was as follows (in millions):

MidAmerican Energy:
Cash and cash equivalents$30 
 
Credit facilities, maturing 2022 and 20241,505 
Less:
Tax-exempt bond support(370)

MidAmerican Funding:
MidAmerican Energy total net liquidity$1,165 
Cash and cash equivalents
MHC, Inc. credit facility, maturing 2022
MidAmerican Funding total net liquidity$1,170 

Operating Activities

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $721 million and $326 million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $715 million and $323 million, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities reflect higher income tax receipts, partially offset by lower cash margins for MidAmerican Energy's regulated electric and natural gas businesses, including delayed recovery of higher natural gas costs in February 2021, discussed below, and higher payments to vendors.

In February 2021, severe cold weather over the central United States caused disruptions in natural gas supply from the southern part of the United States. These disruptions, combined with increased demand, resulted in historically high prices for natural gas purchased for resale to MidAmerican Energy's retail customers and caused an approximate $245 million increase in natural gas costs above those normally expected. To mitigate the impact to MidAmerican Energy's customers, the IUB ordered the recovery of these higher costs to be applied to customer bills over the period April 2021 through April 2022. While sufficient liquidity is available to MidAmerican Energy, the increased costs and longer recovery period resulted in higher working capital requirements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

The timing of MidAmerican Energy's income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods and assumptions for each payment date.

Investing Activities

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $(726) million and $(818) million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $(726) million and $(817) million, respectively. Net cash flows from investing activities consist almost entirely of capital expenditures, which decreased primarily due to lower wind-powered generating facility construction expenditures. Purchases and proceeds related to marketable securities substantially consist of activity within the Quad Cities Generating Station nuclear decommissioning trust and other trust investments.


112


Financing Activities

MidAmerican Energy's net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $(2) million and $194 million, respectively. MidAmerican Funding's net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $4 million and $198 million, respectively. Through its commercial paper program, MidAmerican Energy received $— million in 2021 and $195 million in 2020. MidAmerican Funding received $6 million and $4 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, through its note payable with BHE.

Debt Authorizations

MidAmerican Energy has authority from the FERC to issue, through April 2, 2022, commercial paper and bank notes aggregating $1.5 billion at interest rates not to exceed the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread of 400 basis points. MidAmerican Energy has a $1.5 billion unsecured credit facility expiring in June 2024. The credit facility, which supports MidAmerican Energy's commercial paper program and its variable-rate tax-exempt bond obligations and provides for the issuance of letters of credit, has a variable interest rate based on the Eurodollar rate or a base rate, at MidAmerican Energy's option, plus a spread that varies based on MidAmerican Energy's credit ratings for senior unsecured long-term debt securities. Additionally, MidAmerican Energy has a $5 million unsecured credit facility for general corporate purposes.

MidAmerican Energy currently has an effective automatic registration statement with the SEC to issue an indeterminate amount of long-term debt securities through June 13, 2024. Additionally, following the July 2021 issuance of $500 million of first mortgage bonds, MidAmerican Energy has authorization from the FERC to issue, through June 30, 2023, long-term debt securities up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion and preferred stock up to an aggregate of $500 million and from the Illinois Commerce Commission to issue long-term debt securities up to an aggregate of $350 million through August 20, 2022.

Future Uses of Cash

MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the issuance of commercial paper, the use of unsecured revolving credit facilities and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which MidAmerican Energy and MidAmerican Funding have access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, their credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.

Capital Expenditures

MidAmerican Energy has significant future capital requirements. Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, impacts to customers' rates; changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital.

MidAmerican Energy's historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):
Six-Month PeriodsAnnual
Ended June 30,Forecast
202020212021
Wind generation$419 $286 $802 
Electric distribution104 96 282

MidAmerican Energy's capital expenditures provided above consist of the following:

Wind generation includes the construction, acquisition, repowering and operation of wind-powered generating facilities in Iowa.
Construction and acquisition of wind-powered generating facilities totaled $172 million for 2021 and $388 million for 2020. Planned spending for the construction of additional wind-powered generating facilities totals $198 million for the remainder of 2021 and includes 203 MWs of wind-powered generating facilities expected to be placed in-service in 2021.
Repowering of wind-powered generating facilities totaled $82 million for 2021 and $19 million for 2020. Planned spending for repowering generating facilities totals $284 million for the remainder of 2021. MidAmerican Energy expects its repowered facilities to meet Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the re-establishment of PTCs for 10 years from the date the facilities are placed in-service. The rate at which PTCs are re-established for a facility depends upon the date construction begins. Of the 1,078 MWs of current repowering projects not in-service as of June 30, 2021, 80 MWs are currently expected to qualify for 100% of the PTCs available for 10 years following each facility's return to service, 591 MWs are expected to qualify for 80% of such credits and 407 MWs are expected to qualify for 60% of such credits.
Electric distribution includes expenditures for new facilities to meet retail demand growth and for replacement of existing facilities to maintain system reliability.
Electric transmission includes expenditures to meet retail demand growth, upgrades to accommodate third-party generator requirements and replacement of existing facilities to maintain system reliability.
Solar reflects MidAmerican Energy's current plan for the construction of 141 MWs of small- and utility-scale solar generation during 2021, of which 61 MWs are expected to be placed in-service in 2021.
Remaining expenditures primarily relate to routine expenditures for other generation, natural gas distribution, technology, facilities and other operational needs to serve existing and expected demand.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Quad Cities Generating Station Operating Status

Exelon Generation Company, LLC ("Exelon Generation"), the operator of Quad Cities Generating Station Units 1 and 2 ("Quad Cities Station") of which MidAmerican Energy has a 25% ownership interest, announced on June 2, 2016, its intention to shut down Quad Cities Station on June 1, 2018. In December 2016, Illinois passed legislation creating a zero emission standard, which went into effect June 1, 2017. The zero emission standard requires the Illinois Power Agency to purchase zero emission credits ("ZECs") and recover the costs from certain ratepayers in Illinois, subject to certain limitations. The proceeds from the ZECs will provide Exelon Generation additional revenue through 2027 as an incentive for continued operation of Quad Cities Station. MidAmerican Energy will not receive additional revenue from the subsidy.

The PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. ("PJM") capacity market includes a Minimum Offer Price Rule ("MOPR"). If a generation resource is subjected to a MOPR, its offer price in the market is adjusted to effectively remove the revenues it receives through a government-provided financial support program, resulting in a higher offer that may not clear the capacity market. Prior to December 19, 2019, the PJM MOPR applied only to certain new gas-fired resources. An expanded PJM MOPR to include existing resources would require exclusion of ZEC compensation when bidding into future capacity auctions, resulting in an increased risk of Quad Cities Station not receiving capacity revenues in future auctions.

On December 19, 2019, the FERC issued an order requiring the PJM to broadly apply the MOPR to all new and existing resources, including nuclear. This greatly expands the breadth and scope of the PJM's MOPR, which is effective as of the PJM's next capacity auction. While the FERC included some limited exemptions in its order, no exemptions were available to state-supported nuclear resources, such as Quad Cities Station. The FERC provided no new mechanism for accommodating state-supported resources other than the existing Fixed Resource Requirement ("FRR") mechanism under which an entire utility zone would be removed from PJM's capacity auction along with sufficient resources to support the load in such zone. In response to the FERC's order, the PJM submitted a compliance filing on March 18, 2020, wherein the PJM proposed tariff language reflecting the FERC's directives and a schedule for resuming capacity auctions. On April 16, 2020, the FERC issued an order largely denying requests for rehearing of the FERC's December 2019 order but granting a few clarifications that required an additional PJM compliance filing, which the PJM submitted on June 1, 2020. On October 15, 2020, the FERC issued an order denying requests for rehearing of its April 16, 2020 order and accepting the PJM's two compliance filings, subject to a further compliance filing to revise minor aspects of the proposed MOPR methodology. As part of that order, the FERC also accepted the PJM's proposal to condense the schedule of activities leading up to the next capacity auction but did not specify when that schedule would commence given that a key element of the MOPR level computation remains pending before the FERC in another proceeding.

On May 21, 2020, the FERC issued an order involving reforms to the PJM's day-ahead and real-time reserves markets that need to be reflected in the calculation of MOPR levels. In approving reforms to the PJM's reserves markets, the FERC also directed the PJM to develop a new methodology for estimating revenues that resources will receive for sales of energy and related services, which will then be used in calculating a number of parameters and assumptions used in the capacity market, including MOPR levels. The PJM submitted its new revenue projection methodology on August 5, 2020. On review of this compliance filing, the FERC is expected to address how these additional reforms will impact MOPR levels, the timeline for implementing the new revenue projection methodology, and the timing for commencing the capacity auction schedule.

Exelon Generation is currently working with the PJM and other stakeholders to pursue the FRR option as an alternative to the next PJM capacity auction. If Illinois implements the FRR option, Quad Cities Station could be removed from the PJM's capacity auction and instead supply capacity and be compensated under the FRR program. If Illinois cannot implement an FRR program in its PJM zones, then the MOPR will apply to Quad Cities Station, resulting in higher offers for its units that may not clear the capacity market. Implementing the FRR program in Illinois will require both legislative and regulatory changes. MidAmerican Energy cannot predict whether or when such legislative and regulatory changes can be implemented or their potential impact on the continued operation of Quad Cities Station.

In May 2021, the PJM conducted its capacity auction as scheduled, and because Illinois has not implemented an FRR program, the MOPR applied to Quad Cities Station in the capacity auction. The MOPR prevented Quad Cities Station from clearing in the auction.


115


Assuming the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard, Exelon Generation no longer considers Quad Cities Station to be at heightened risk for early retirement. However, to the extent the Illinois zero emission standard does not operate as expected over its full term, Quad Cities Station would be at heightened risk for early retirement. The FERC's December 19, 2019 order on the PJM MOPR may undermine the continued effectiveness of the Illinois zero emission standard unless the PJM adopts further changes to the MOPR or Illinois implements an FRR mechanism under which Quad Cities Station would be removed from the PJM's capacity auction. At the direction of the PJM Board of Managers, the PJM and its stakeholders are considering MOPR reforms to ensure that the capacity market rules respect and accommodate state resource preferences such as the ZEC programs, which the PJM filed at the FERC on July 30, 2021.

Regulatory Matters

MidAmerican Energy is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding MidAmerican Energy's current regulatory matters.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

MidAmerican Energy is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations and capital expenditure requirements, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by the EPA and various state and local agencies. All such laws and regulations are subject to a range of interpretation, which may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and MidAmerican Energy is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and consolidated financial results. MidAmerican Energy believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement benefits, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of their Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in MidAmerican Energy's and MidAmerican Funding's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2020.

Item 1.Financial Statements


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Nevada Power Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nevada Power Company and subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") as of June 30, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Nevada Power as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of Nevada Power's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Nevada Power in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

NEVADA POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

Nevada Power Company, together with its subsidiaries ("Nevada Power"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of NV Energy, Inc. ("NV Energy"), a holding company that also owns Sierra Pacific Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific") and certain other subsidiaries. Nevada Power is a United States regulated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential, commercial and industrial customers, primarily in the Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and adjoining areas. NV Energy is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in Nevada Power's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(2)    Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist of funds restricted by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada ("PUCN") for a certain renewable energy contract. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

Credit Facilities

In June 2021, Nevada Power amended and restated its existing $400 million secured credit facility expiring in June 2022 with no remaining one-year extension options. The amendment extended the expiration date to June 2024 and increased the available maturity extension options to an unlimited number, subject to lender consent.

(5)    Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax expense is as follows:

(6)    Employee Benefit Plans

Nevada Power is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by NV Energy. The NV Energy Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan ("Qualified Pension Plan") and a supplemental executive retirement plan and a restoration plan (collectively, "Non‑Qualified Pension Plans") that provide pension benefits for eligible employees. The NV Energy Comprehensive Welfare Benefit and Cafeteria Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees ("Other Postretirement Plans") on behalf of Nevada Power. Amounts attributable to Nevada Power were allocated from NV Energy based upon the current, or in the case of retirees, previous, employment location. Offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities have been recorded related to the amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs that will be included in regulated rates. Net periodic benefit costs not included in regulated rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

(7)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of Nevada Power's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Nevada Power has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Nevada Power has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Nevada Power's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Nevada Power develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

125


The following table presents Nevada Power's assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(1)Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Nevada Power transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Nevada Power uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Nevada Power's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Nevada Power bases its forward price curves upon internally developed models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to markets that are not active. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, Nevada Power uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The model incorporates a mid-market pricing convention (the mid‑point price between bid and ask prices) as a practical expedient for valuing its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The determination of the fair value for derivative contracts not only includes counterparty risk, but also the impact of Nevada Power's nonperformance risk on its liabilities, which as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, had an immaterial impact to the fair value of its derivative contracts. As such, Nevada Power considers its derivative contracts to be valued using Level 3 inputs.

Nevada Power's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

126

Nevada Power's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Nevada Power's long‑term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Nevada Power's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Nevada Power during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Nevada Power's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Nevada Power's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2021 and 2020

Overview

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $82 million, a decrease of $1 million, or 1%, compared to 2020 primarily due to $5 million of lower utility margin, primarily due to lower retail rates from the 2020 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2021 and an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals, partially offset by price impacts from changes in sales mix, $9 million of higher depreciation and amortization, mainly due to regulatory amortizations approved in the 2020 regulatory rate review effective January 2021 and higher plant placed in service, and $3 million of higher operations and maintenance expenses, primarily due to a higher accrual for earnings sharing and higher plant operations and maintenance costs, partially offset by lower net regulatory instructed deferrals and amortizations. These decreases are offset by $14 million of lower income tax expense primarily due to the recognition of amortization of excess deferred income taxes following regulatory approval effective January 2021.

Net income for the first six months of 2021 was $84 million, an increase of $5 million, or 6%, compared to 2020 primarily due to $16 million of lower operations and maintenance expenses, primarily due to lower net regulatory instructed deferrals and amortizations of $17 million, partially offset by a higher accrual for earnings sharing, $13 million of lower income tax expense primarily due to the recognition of amortization of excess deferred income taxes following regulatory approval effective January 2021, $12 million of higher other, net, mainly due to higher cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies of $7 million, lower pension expense and higher interest income, and lower interest expense of $5 million. These increases are offset by $20 million of higher depreciation and amortization, mainly due to regulatory amortizations approved in the 2020 regulatory rate review effective January 2021 and higher plant placed in service, and $19 million of lower utility margin, primarily due to lower retail rates from the 2020 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2021 and an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals, partially offset by price impacts from changes in sales mix.

129


Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Utility margin is calculated as electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Nevada Power's cost of fuel and energy are directly recovered from its customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in Nevada Power's expenses result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes utility margin more appropriately and concisely explains profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.

Utility margin is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides a reconciliation of utility margin to operating income (in millions):

Quarter Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2020
Utility margin decreased $5 million, or 2%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
$15 million of lower retail rates due to the 2020 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2021,
$6 million due to an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals,
$2 million due to lower energy efficiency program rates (offset in operations and maintenance expense) and
$1 million of lower other revenue due to a regulatory amortization of an impact fee that ended December 2020.
The decrease in utility margin was offset by:
$15 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 12.9% primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery, which resulted in higher industrial, commercial and distribution only service customer usage, and higher residential customer usage, mainly from the favorable impact of weather and
$2 million due to an increase in the average number of customers, primarily from the residential customer class.

Operations and maintenance increased $3 million, or 4%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to a higher accrual for earnings sharing of $6 million and higher plant operations and maintenance costs, partially offset by lower net regulatory instructed deferrals and amortizations of $6 million, mainly relating to deferrals in 2020 of the non-labor cost savings from the Navajo generating station retirement which was approved for amortization in the 2020 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2021, and timing of the regulatory impacts for the ON Line lease cost reallocation and lower energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue).

Depreciation and amortization increased $9 million, or 10%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to regulatory amortizations approved in the 2020 regulatory rate review effective January 2021 and higher plant placed in service.

Interest expense decreased $1 million, or 3%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower carrying charges on regulatory items.

Other, net increased $2 million, or 29%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower pension expense and higher interest income, mainly from carrying charges on regulatory items, partially offset by lower cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Income tax expense decreased $14 million, or 61%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020. The effective tax rate was 10% in 2021 and 22% in 2020 and decreased primarily due to the recognition of amortization of excess deferred income taxes following regulatory approval effective January 2021.

First Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to First Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Utility margin decreased $19 million, or 4%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
$24 million of lower retail rates due to the 2020 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2021,
$6 million due to an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals,
$4 million due to lower energy efficiency program rates (offset in operations and maintenance expense) and
$2 million of lower other revenue due to a regulatory amortization of an impact fee that ended December 2020.
The decrease in utility margin was offset by:
$14 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 5.0% primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery, which resulted in higher commercial, industrial and distribution only service customer usage, and higher residential customer usage, mainly from the favorable impact of weather and
$2 million due to an increase in the average number of customers, mainly residential.

Operations and maintenance decreased $16 million, or 10%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower net regulatory instructed deferrals and amortizations of $17 million, mainly relating to deferrals in 2020 of the non-labor cost savings from the Navajo generating station retirement which was approved for amortization in the 2020 regulatory rate review with new rates effective January 2021, and timing of the regulatory impacts for the ON Line lease cost reallocation and lower energy efficiency program costs (offset in operating revenue), partially offset by a higher accrual for earnings sharing.

Depreciation and amortization increased $20 million, or 11%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to regulatory amortizations approved in the 2020 regulatory rate review effective January 2021 and higher plant placed in service.

Interest expense decreased $5 million, or 6%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower carrying charges on regulatory items and lower interest expense on long-term debt.

Other, net increased $12 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies of $5 million, lower pension expense and higher interest income, mainly from carrying charges on regulatory items.

Income tax expense decreased $13 million, or 59%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020. The effective tax rate was 10% in 2021 and 22% in 2020 and decreased primarily due to the recognition of amortization of excess deferred income taxes following regulatory approval effective January 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2021, Nevada Power's total net liquidity was as follows (in millions):

Cash and cash equivalents$79 
Credit facility400 
Total net liquidity$479 
Credit facility:
Maturity date2024

Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $310 million and $207 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to the timing of payments for operating costs, higher collections from customers, increased collections of customer advances, timing of payments for fuel and energy costs and lower inventory purchases, partially offset by higher payments for income taxes.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows from investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $(237) million and $(257) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to decreased capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $(21) million and $50 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by lower repayments of long-term debt and lower dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc.
    
Debt Authorizations

Nevada Power currently has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to: (1) establish debt issuances limited to a debt ceiling of $3.2 billion (excluding borrowings under Nevada Power's $400 million secured credit facility); and (2) maintain a revolving credit facility of up to $1.3 billion. Nevada Power currently has an effective automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC to issue an indeterminate amount of general and refunding mortgage securities through October 2022.


133


Future Uses of Cash

Nevada Power has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the use of its secured revolving credit facility, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Nevada Power has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Nevada Power's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customers' rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital. Prudently incurred expenditures for compliance-related items such as pollution control technologies, replacement generation and associated operating costs are generally incorporated into Nevada Power's regulated retail rates. Expenditures for certain assets may ultimately include acquisition of existing assets.

Historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items are as follows (in millions):
Six-Month PeriodsAnnual
Ended June 30,Forecast
202020212021
Electric distribution$128 $87 $184 
Electric transmission22 25 76 
Solar generation— 32 
Other107 120 197 
Total$257 $237 $489 

Nevada Power's Fourth Amendment to the 2018 Joint IRP proposed an increase in solar generation and electric transmission. Nevada Power has included estimates from its latest IRP filing in its forecast capital expenditures for 2021. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the RFP process and some are still pending PUCN approval. Nevada Power's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for distribution needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily relate to the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program. In this project, the company has proposed to build a 350-mile, 525 kV transmission line, known as Greenlink West, connecting the Ft. Churchill substation to the Northwest substation to the Harry Allen substation. Construction of the project has been approved by the PUCN with the exception of the Northwest substation to Harry Allen substation segment for which approval was limited to design, permitting and land acquisition only. Operating expenditures consist of routine expenditures for transmission and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Solar generation investment includes expenditures for a 150 MWs solar photovoltaic facility with an additional 100 MWs capacity of co-located battery storage, known as the Dry Lake generating facility, that will be developed in Clark County, Nevada. Commercial operation is expected by the end of 2023.
Other investments include both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for generation, other operating projects and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Regulatory Matters

Nevada Power is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding Nevada Power's current regulatory matters.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Nevada Power is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact Nevada Power's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations and capital expenditure requirements, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by the EPA and various state and local agencies. All such laws and regulations are subject to a range of interpretation, which may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and Nevada Power is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and consolidated financial results. Nevada Power believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of Nevada Power's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of Nevada Power's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in Nevada Power's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Shareholder of
Sierra Pacific Power Company

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Pacific Power Company and subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific") as of June 30, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in shareholder's equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Sierra Pacific as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of Sierra Pacific's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Sierra Pacific in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

SIERRA PACIFIC POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

Sierra Pacific Power Company, together with its subsidiaries ("Sierra Pacific"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of NV Energy, Inc. ("NV Energy"), a holding company that also owns Nevada Power Company and its subsidiaries ("Nevada Power") and certain other subsidiaries. Sierra Pacific is a United States regulated electric utility company serving retail customers, including residential, commercial and industrial customers and regulated retail natural gas customers primarily in northern Nevada. NV Energy is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in energy businesses. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been omitted as net income equals comprehensive income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(2)    Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions. Restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, consist of funds restricted by the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada ("PUCN") for a certain renewable energy contract. A reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows is outlined below and disaggregated by the line items in which they appear on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

(4)    Recent Financing Transactions

Credit Facilities

In June 2021, Sierra Pacific amended and restated its existing $250 million secured credit facility expiring in June 2022 with no remaining one-year extension options. The amendment extended the expiration date to June 2024 and increased the available maturity extension options to an unlimited number, subject to lender consent.

(5)    Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax expense is as follows:

143


(6)    Employee Benefit Plans

Sierra Pacific is a participant in benefit plans sponsored by NV Energy. The NV Energy Retirement Plan includes a qualified pension plan ("Qualified Pension Plan") and a supplemental executive retirement plan and a restoration plan (collectively, "Non‑Qualified Pension Plans") that provide pension benefits for eligible employees. The NV Energy Comprehensive Welfare Benefit and Cafeteria Plan provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retirees ("Other Postretirement Plans") on behalf of Sierra Pacific. Amounts attributable to Sierra Pacific were allocated from NV Energy based upon the current, or in the case of retirees, previous, employment location. Offsetting regulatory assets and liabilities have been recorded related to the amounts not yet recognized as a component of net periodic benefit costs that will be included in regulated rates. Net periodic benefit costs not included in regulated rates are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net.

Amounts receivable from (payable to) NV Energy are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and consist of the following (in millions):

(7)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of Sierra Pacific's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Sierra Pacific has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Sierra Pacific has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Sierra Pacific's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Sierra Pacific develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

144


The following table presents Sierra Pacific's assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(1)Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.

Sierra Pacific's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value.

Sierra Pacific's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Sierra Pacific's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Sierra Pacific's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

(8)    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Sierra Pacific is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. Sierra Pacific does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Sierra Pacific is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, renewable portfolio standards, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact Sierra Pacific's current and future operations. Sierra Pacific believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

(10)    Segment Information

Sierra Pacific has identified two reportable operating segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by the PUCN; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Sierra Pacific during the periods included herein. Explanations include management's best estimate of the impact of weather, customer growth, usage trends and other factors. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Sierra Pacific's historical unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Sierra Pacific's actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2021 and 2020

Overview

Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $17 million, an increase of $4 million, or 31%, compared to 2020 primarily due to $3 million of higher electric utility margin, mainly from price impacts from changes in sales mix, partially offset by lower revenue recognized due to a favorable regulatory decision and an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals, and $2 million of higher natural gas utility margin, mainly from higher commercial usage due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery.

Net income for the first six months of 2021 was $45 million, an increase of $7 million, or 18%, compared to 2020 primarily due to $6 million of lower operations and maintenance expenses, mainly due to lower plant operations and maintenance expenses, a lower accrual for earnings sharing and lower regulatory amortizations, and $5 million of higher other, net, mainly due to lower pension costs, higher cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies and higher interest income, partially offset by $4 million of higher depreciation and amortization, mainly from regulatory amortizations and higher plant in service.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Management utilizes various key financial measures that are prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as non-GAAP financial measures such as, electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin, to help evaluate results of operations. Electric utility margin is calculated as electric operating revenue less cost of fuel and energy while natural gas utility margin is calculated as natural gas operating revenue less cost of natural gas purchased for resale, which are captions presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sierra Pacific's cost of fuel and energy and cost of natural gas purchased for resale are generally recovered from its customers through regulatory recovery mechanisms and as a result, changes in Sierra Pacific's expenses result in comparable changes to revenue. As such, management believes electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin more appropriately and concisely explain profitability rather than a discussion of revenue and cost of sales separately. Management believes the presentation of electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin provides meaningful and valuable insight into the information management considers important to running the business and a measure of comparability to others in the industry.
149


Electric utility margin and natural gas utility margin are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income which is the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

Electric utility margin increased $3 million, or 3%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
$5 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 7.4% primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery, which resulted in higher industrial and commercial usage, and higher residential customer usage, mainly from the favorable impact of weather and
$1 million due to an increase in the average number of customers, primarily from the residential customer class.
The increase in utility margin was offset by:
$3 million due to an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals and
$1 million due to lower energy efficiency program rates (offset in operations and maintenance expense).

Natural gas utility margin increased $2 million, or 20%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher commercial usage due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery.

Depreciation and amortization increased $2 million, or 6%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to regulatory amortizations.

152


First Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to First Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Electric utility margin decreased $2 million, or 1%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to:
$3 million in lower revenue recognized due to a favorable regulatory decision,
$3 million due to an adjustment to regulatory-related revenue deferrals and
$1 million due to lower energy efficiency program rates (offset in operations and maintenance expense).
The decrease in utility margin was offset by:
$4 million due to price impacts from changes in sales mix. Retail customer volumes, including distribution only service customers, increased 3.4% primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery, which resulted in higher industrial and commercial usage and consistent distribution only service usage and higher residential customer usage, mainly from the favorable impact of weather and
$1 million due to an increase in the average number of customers, mainly residential.
Natural gas utility margin increased $2 million, or 7%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to higher commercial usage due to the impacts from COVID-19 recovery.

Operations and maintenance decreased $6 million, or 7%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower plant operations and maintenance expenses, a lower accrual for earnings sharing and lower regulatory amortizations.

Depreciation and amortization increased $4 million, or 6%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to regulatory amortizations and higher plant in service.

Other, net increased $5 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to lower pension costs, higher cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance policies and higher interest income, mainly from carrying charges on regulatory items.

Income tax expense increased $1 million, or 25%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020. The effective tax rate was 10% in 2021 and 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Maturity date2024

Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $92 million and $117 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to the timing of payments for fuel and energy costs and lower collections from customers partially offset by lower inventory purchases, increased collections of customer advances and the timing of payments for operating costs.
153


Investing Activities

Net cash flows from investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $(128) million and $(110) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to increased capital expenditures. Refer to "Future Uses of Cash" for further discussion of capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $25 million and $(22) million, respectively. The change was primarily due to higher proceeds from short-term debt and lower dividends paid to NV Energy, Inc.

Debt Authorizations

Sierra Pacific currently has financing authority from the PUCN consisting of the ability to: (1) establish debt issuances limited to a debt ceiling of $1.6 billion (excluding borrowings under Sierra Pacific's $250 million secured credit facility); and (2) maintain a revolving credit facility of up to $600 million.

Future Uses of Cash

Sierra Pacific has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the use of its secured revolving credit facility, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Sierra Pacific has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Sierra Pacific's credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customers' rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; load projections; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital. Prudently incurred expenditures for compliance-related items such as pollution-control technologies, replacement generation and associated operating costs are generally incorporated into Sierra Pacific's regulated retail rates. Expenditures for certain assets may ultimately include acquisition of existing assets.

Historical and forecast capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items are as follows (in millions):
Six-Month PeriodsAnnual
Ended June 30,Forecast
202020212021

Electric transmission17 31 103 
Solar generation— — 18 
Other25 55 114 
Total$110 $128 $353 

Sierra Pacific's Fourth Amendment to the 2018 Joint IRP proposed an increase in electric transmission. Sierra Pacific has included estimates from its latest IRP filing in its forecast capital expenditures for 2021. These estimates are likely to change as a result of the RFP process and some are still pending PUCN approval. Sierra Pacific's historical and forecast capital expenditures include the following:

Electric distribution includes both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for distribution needed to serve existing and expected demand.
154


Electric transmission includes both growth projects and operating expenditures. Growth projects primarily relate to the Nevada Utilities' Greenlink Nevada transmission expansion program. In this project, the company has proposed to build a 235-mile, 525 kV transmission line, known as Greenlink North, connecting the new Ft. Churchill substation to the Robinson Summit substation; a 46-mile, 345 kV transmission line from the new Ft. Churchill substation to the Mira Loma substations; and a 38-mile, 345 kV transmission line from the new Ft. Churchill substation to the Comstock Meadows substations. Construction of the project has been approved by the PUCN with the exception of the Ft. Churchill substation to the Robinson Summit substation segment for which conditional approval was limited to design, permitting and land acquisition only. Operating expenditures consist of routine expenditures for transmission and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.
Other investments include both growth projects and operating expenditures consisting of routine expenditures for generation, other operating projects and other infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Regulatory Matters

Sierra Pacific is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to "Regulatory Matters" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding Sierra Pacific's current regulatory matters.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Sierra Pacific is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, RPS, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact Sierra Pacific's current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations and capital expenditure requirements, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by the EPA and various state and local agencies. All such laws and regulations are subject to a range of interpretation, which may ultimately be resolved by the courts. Environmental laws and regulations continue to evolve, and Sierra Pacific is unable to predict the impact of the changing laws and regulations on its operations and consolidated financial results. Sierra Pacific believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, derivatives, impairment of long-lived assets, income taxes and revenue recognition - unbilled revenue. For additional discussion of Sierra Pacific's critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of Sierra Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in Sierra Pacific's assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2020.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors of
Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") as of June 30, 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income and changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of Eastern Energy Gas as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 26, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of Eastern Energy Gas' management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Eastern Energy Gas in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

EASTERN ENERGY GAS HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1)    General

Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") is a holding company that conducts business activities consisting of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")-regulated interstate natural gas transportation pipeline and underground storage operations in the eastern region of the United States and operates Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point"), a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export, import and storage facility. Eastern Energy Gas owns 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the limited partnership interest in Cove Point. In addition, Eastern Energy Gas owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. ("Iroquois"), a 416-mile FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transportation pipeline.

In July 2020, Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI") entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations, including Eastern Energy Gas and a 25% limited partnership interest in Cove Point, to Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). Approval of the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act was not obtained within 75 days and DEI and BHE mutually agreed to a dual-phase closing consisting of two separate disposal groups identified as the acquisition of substantially all of the natural gas transmission and storage business of DEI and Dominion Energy Questar Corporation, exclusive of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC and related entities (the "Questar Pipeline Group") (the "GT&S Transaction") and the proposed sale of the Questar Pipeline Group by DEI to BHE pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement entered into on October 5, 2020 ("Q-Pipe Transaction"). In July 2021, Dominion Energy Questar Corporation ("Dominion Questar") and DEI delivered a written notice to BHE stating that BHE and Dominion Questar have mutually elected to terminate the Q-Pipe Transaction. Prior to the completion of the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas finalized a restructuring whereby Eastern Energy Gas distributed the Questar Pipeline Group and a 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point to DEI. This restructuring was accounted for by Eastern Energy Gas as a reorganization of entities under common control and the disposition was reflected as an equity transaction. The disposition was not reported as a discontinued operation as the disposal did not represent a strategic shift in the way management had intended to run the business. On November 1, 2020, BHE completed the GT&S Transaction. As a result of the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE. BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in the energy industry. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway").

The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. Management believes the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Eastern Energy Gas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 describes the most significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes in Eastern Energy Gas' assumptions regarding significant accounting estimates and policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

Prior to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas, through the Questar Pipeline Group, owned 50% of White River Hub, which owns and operates a natural gas pipeline in northwest Colorado.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amount of Eastern Energy Gas' investments exceeded its share of underlying equity in net assets by $130 million. The difference reflects equity method goodwill and is not being amortized. Eastern Energy Gas received distributions from its investments of $20 million and $25 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(4)    Regulatory Matters

Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc.

In July 2017, the FERC audit staff communicated to Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS") that it had substantially completed an audit of EGTS' compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of the FERC's Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report. In December 2017, EGTS provided its response to the audit report. EGTS requested FERC review of the contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. EGTS reached resolution of certain matters with the FERC in the fourth quarter of 2018. EGTS recognized a charge of $129 million ($94 million after-tax) for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a disallowance of plant, originally established beginning in 2012, for the resolution of one matter with the FERC. In December 2020, the FERC issued a final ruling on the remaining matter, which resulted in a $43 million ($31 million after-tax) estimated charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction. As a condition of the December 2020 ruling, EGTS filed its proposed accounting entries and supporting documentation with the FERC during the second quarter of 2021. During the finalization of these entries, EGTS refined the estimated charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction, which resulted in a reduction to the estimated charge of $11 million ($8 million after-tax) that was recorded in operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations in the second quarter of 2021.

In December 2014, EGTS entered into a precedent agreement with Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC ("Atlantic Coast Pipeline") for the project previously intended for EGTS to provide approximately 1,500,000 decatherms ("Dth") of firm transportation service to various customers in connection with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project ("Supply Header Project"). As a result of the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project, in the second quarter of 2020 Eastern Energy Gas recorded a charge of $482 million ($359 million after-tax) in operations and maintenance expense in its Consolidated Statements of Operations associated with the probable abandonment of a significant portion of the project as well as the establishment of a $75 million asset retirement obligation. As EGTS evaluates its future use, approximately $40 million remains within property, plant and equipment for a potential modified project.
167


Cove Point

In January 2020, pursuant to the terms of a previous settlement, Cove Point filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective March 1, 2020. Cove Point proposed an annual cost-of-service of $182 million. In February 2020, the FERC approved suspending the changes in rates for five months following the proposed effective date, until August 1, 2020, subject to refund. In November 2020, Cove Point reached an agreement in principle with the active participants in the general rate case proceeding. Under the terms of the agreement in principle, Cove Point's rates effective August 1, 2020 result in an increase to annual revenues of $4 million and a decrease in annual depreciation expense of $1 million, compared to the rates in effect prior to August 1, 2020. The interim settlement rates were implemented November 1, 2020, and Cove Point's provision for rate refunds for August 2020 through October 2020 totaled $7 million. The agreement in principle was reflected in a stipulation and agreement filed with the FERC in January 2021. In March 2021, the FERC approved the stipulation and agreement and the rate refunds to customers were processed in late April 2021.

(5)    Recent Financing Transactions

On June 30, 2021, as part of an intercompany transaction with its wholly owned subsidiary EGTS, Eastern Energy Gas exchanged a total of $1.6 billion of its issued and outstanding third party notes, making EGTS the primary obligor of the exchanged notes. The intercompany debt exchange was a common control transaction accounted for as a debt modification with no gain or loss recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table details the exchanged notes prior to, and subsequent to, the transaction (in millions):

(6)    Income Taxes

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective income tax rate applicable to income before income tax expense is as follows:

Write-off of regulatory assets (3) (39)
Other, net2   1 
Effective income tax rate13 %32 %13 %176 %

Noncontrolling interest is attributable to Eastern Energy Gas' ownership in Cove Point. The GT&S Transaction resulted in a change of noncontrolling interest to 75% as of June 30, 2021 from 25% as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, Eastern Energy Gas' effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2020 is primarily a function of the impacts associated with the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project and the nominal year-to date pre-tax income driven by charges associated with the Supply Header Project.

Through October 31, 2020, Eastern Energy Gas was included in DEI's consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined state income tax returns. All affiliate payables or receivables were settled with DEI prior to the closing date of the GT&S Transaction. Subsequent to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas, as a subsidiary of BHE, is included in Berkshire Hathaway's United States federal income tax return. Consistent with established regulatory practice, Eastern Energy Gas' provisions for income tax have been computed on a stand-alone basis, and substantially all of its currently payable or receivable income tax is remitted to or received from BHE. Eastern Energy Gas made net cash payments for income tax to BHE totaling $5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021.

(7)    Employee Benefit Plans

Prior to the GT&S Transaction, certain Eastern Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units were covered by the Dominion Energy Pension Plan, a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by DEI that provides benefits to multiple DEI subsidiaries. As participating employers, Eastern Energy Gas was subject to DEI's funding policy, which was to contribute annually an amount that is in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Also prior to the GT&S Transaction, pension benefits for Eastern Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units were provided by a separate plan that provides benefits to employees of both EGTS and Hope Gas, Inc. ("Hope"). Subsequent to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas employees are covered by the MidAmerican Energy Company ("MidAmerican Energy") Pension Plan, similar to the DEI plan.

Prior to the GT&S Transaction, certain retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits for Eastern Energy Gas employees not represented by collective bargaining units were covered by the Dominion Energy Retiree Health and Welfare Plan, a plan sponsored by DEI that provides certain retiree healthcare and life insurance benefits to multiple DEI subsidiaries. Also prior to the GT&S Transaction, retiree health and life insurance benefits for Eastern Energy Gas employees represented by collective bargaining units were covered by a separate other postretirement benefit plan that provides benefits to both EGTS and Hope. Subsequent to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas employees are covered by the MidAmerican Energy Retiree Health and Welfare plan, similar to the DEI plan.

(8)    Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of Eastern Energy Gas' cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Eastern Energy Gas has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Eastern Energy Gas has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflect Eastern Energy Gas' judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Eastern Energy Gas develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data.

The following table presents Eastern Energy Gas' financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

(1)Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost.

Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchase or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Eastern Energy Gas transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Eastern Energy Gas uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Eastern Energy Gas' estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Eastern Energy Gas bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by Eastern Energy Gas. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of Eastern Energy Gas' outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, Eastern Energy Gas' forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contracts. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, Eastern Energy Gas uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts.


171


Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt is carried at cost, including unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of Eastern Energy Gas' variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of Eastern Energy Gas' long-term debt (in millions):

As of June 30, 2021As of December 31, 2020

(9)    Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Eastern Energy Gas is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. Eastern Energy Gas does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Eastern Energy Gas is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. Eastern Energy Gas believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

(12)    Variable Interest Entities

The primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") is required to consolidate the VIE and to disclose certain information about its significant variable interests in the VIE. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the entity that has both 1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

In November 2019, DEI contributed to Eastern Energy Gas a 75% controlling limited partner interest in Cove Point. In December 2019, DEI sold its retained 25% noncontrolling limited partner interest in Cove Point. As part of the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas finalized a restructuring which included the disposition of a 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point to DEI, which resulted in Eastern Energy Gas owning 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the limited partnership interest in Cove Point. Eastern Energy Gas concluded that Cove Point is a VIE due to the limited partners lacking the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Eastern Energy Gas is the primary beneficiary of Cove Point as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to it.

Eastern Energy Gas purchased shared services from Carolina Gas Services, Inc. ("Carolina Gas Services") an affiliated VIE, of $3 million for each of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and $6 million and $7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Eastern Energy Gas' Consolidated Balance Sheets included amounts due to Carolina Gas Services of $28 million and $22 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Eastern Energy Gas determined that neither it nor any of its consolidated entities is the primary beneficiary of Carolina Gas Services as neither it nor any of its consolidated entities has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. Carolina Gas Services provides marketing and operational services. Neither Eastern Energy Gas nor any of its consolidated entities has any obligation to absorb more than its allocated share of Carolina Gas Services costs.
173


Prior to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas purchased shared services from Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline Services, Inc. ("DEQPS"), an affiliated VIE, of $7 million and $14 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Eastern Energy Gas determined that neither it nor any of its consolidated entities was the primary beneficiary of DEQPS, as neither it nor any of its consolidated entities has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. DEQPS provided marketing and operational services. Neither Eastern Energy Gas nor any of its consolidated entities had any obligation to absorb more than its allocated share of DEQPS costs.

Prior to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas purchased shared services from Dominion Energy Services, Inc. ("DES"), an affiliated VIE, of $27 million and $58 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Eastern Energy Gas determined that neither it nor any of its consolidated entities was the primary beneficiary of DES as neither it nor any of its consolidated entities had both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact their economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses and benefits which could be significant to them. DES provided accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services. Neither Eastern Energy Gas nor any of its consolidated entities had any obligation to absorb more than its allocated share of DES costs.

Prior to the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas engaged in related party transactions primarily with other DEI subsidiaries (affiliates). Eastern Energy Gas' receivable and payable balances with affiliates were settled based on contractual terms or on a monthly basis, depending on the nature of the underlying transactions. Through October 31, 2020, Eastern Energy Gas was included in DEI's consolidated federal income tax return and, where applicable, combined state income tax returns. All affiliate payables or receivables were settled with DEI prior to the closing of the GT&S Transaction.

Eastern Energy Gas transacted with affiliates for certain quantities of natural gas and other commodities at market prices in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, Eastern Energy Gas provided transportation and storage services to affiliates. Eastern Energy Gas also entered into certain other contracts with affiliates, and related parties, including construction services, which were presented separately from contracts involving commodities or services. Eastern Energy Gas participated in certain DEI benefit plans as described in Note 7.

DES, Carolina Gas Services, DEQPS and other affiliates provided accounting, legal, finance and certain administrative and technical services to Eastern Energy Gas. Eastern Energy Gas provided certain services to related parties, including technical services.

The financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 include costs for certain general, administrative and corporate expenses assigned by DES, Carolina Gas Services and DEQPS to Eastern Energy Gas on the basis of direct and allocated methods in accordance with Eastern Energy Gas' services agreements with DES, Carolina Gas Services and DEQPS. Where costs incurred cannot be determined by specific identification, the costs were allocated based on the proportional level of effort devoted by DES, Carolina Gas Services and DEQPS resources that is attributable to the entity, determined by reference to number of employees, salaries and wages and other similar measures for the relevant DES service. Management believes the assumptions and methodologies underlying the allocation of general corporate overhead expenses are reasonable.

Subsequent to the GT&S Transaction, and with the exception of Cove Point, Eastern Energy Gas' transactions with other DEI subsidiaries are no longer related-party transactions.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Eastern Energy Gas during the periods included herein. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Eastern Energy Gas' historical Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. Eastern Energy Gas' actual results in the future could differ significantly from the historical results.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2021 and 2020

Overview

Net income attributable to Eastern Energy Gas for the second quarter of 2021 was $60 million, an increase of $258 million compared to 2020. Net income increased primarily due to a 2020 after-tax charge of $359 million associated with the probable abandonment of a significant portion of a project previously intended for EGTS to provide approximately 1,500,000 Dths of firm transportation service to various customers in connection with the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project ("Supply Header Project"). This increase is partially offset by an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests due to DEI's 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point") of $68 million, the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $19 million and interest income from DEI and its affiliates recognized in 2020 of $27 million, all of which were a result of the GT&S Transaction.

Net income attributable to Eastern Energy Gas for the first six months of 2021 was $149 million, an increase of $178 million compared to 2020. Net income increased primarily due to a 2020 after-tax charge of $359 million associated with the probable abandonment of a significant portion of the Supply Header Project. This increase is partially offset by an increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests due to DEI's 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point of $137 million, the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $42 million, and interest income from DEI and its affiliates recognized in 2020 of $56 million, all of which were a result of the GT&S Transaction.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

Operating revenue decreased $73 million, or 14%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $56 million and a decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC of $16 million, which is offset in operations and maintenance expense.

(Excess) cost of gas was a credit of $10 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to an expense of $1 million for the second quarter of 2020. The change in (excess) cost of gas is primarily due to a favorable change in natural gas prices.

Operations and maintenance decreased $522 million, or 82%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to a 2020 charge associated with the probable abandonment of a significant portion of the Supply Header Project of $482 million, a decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC of $17 million and the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $11 million.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $13 million, or 14%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group.

Property and other taxes increased $6 million, or 19%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher tax assessments.

Interest expense decreased $8 million, or 16%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to lower interest expense of $3 million from the repayment of $700 million of long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $5 million.

Allowance for equity funds decreased $4 million, or 80%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to lower capital expenditures related to the Supply Header Project as a result of the abandonment of the project.

Interest and dividend income decreased $27 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, due to interest income from the East Ohio Gas Company of $15 million and DEI of $12 million recognized in 2020 as a result of the GT&S Transaction.

176


Other, net decreased $13 million, or 93%, for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to a decrease in non-service cost credits related to certain Eastern Energy Gas benefit plans that were retained by DEI as a result of the GT&S Transaction.

Income tax expense (benefit) was an expense of $22 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to a benefit of $82 million for the second quarter of 2020 and the effective tax rate was 13% for the second quarter of 2021 and 32% for the second quarter of 2020. The effective tax rate decreased primarily due to the change in the noncontrolling interest of Cove Point as a result of the GT&S Transaction and lower pre-tax income driven by charges associated with the Supply Header Project.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $68 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to DEI's 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point effective with the GT&S Transaction.

First Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to First Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Operating revenue decreased $143 million, or 13%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $120 million and a decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC of $33 million, which is offset in operations and maintenance expense. This decrease in operating revenue was partially offset by an increase in regulated gas sales for operational and system balancing purposes primarily due to increased volumes of $17 million.

(Excess) cost of gas was a credit of $10 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to an expense of $9 million for the first six months of 2020. The change in (excess) cost of gas is primarily due to a favorable change in natural gas prices of $30 million and the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $2 million, partially offset by an increase in volumes sold of $14 million.

Operations and maintenance decreased $566 million, or 70%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to a 2020 charge associated with the probable abandonment of a significant portion of the Supply Header Project of $482 million, a decrease in services performed for Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC of $34 million and the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $26 million.

Depreciation and amortization decreased $26 million, or 14%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group.

Property and other taxes increased $6 million, or 8%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to higher tax assessments.

Interest expense decreased $22 million, or 20%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to lower interest expense of $10 million from the repayment of $700 million of long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the November 2020 disposition of Questar Pipeline Group of $10 million.

Allowance for equity funds decreased $7 million, or 70%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to lower capital expenditures related to the Supply Header Project as a result of the abandonment of the project.

Interest and dividend income decreased $57 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to interest income from the East Ohio Gas Company of $33 million and DEI of $23 million recognized in 2020 as a result of the GT&S Transaction.

Other, net decreased $26 million, or 93%, for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to a decrease in non-service cost credits related to certain Eastern Energy Gas benefit plans that were retained by DEI as a result of the GT&S Transaction.

Income tax expense (benefit) was an expense of $49 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to a benefit of $30 million for the first six months of 2020 and the effective tax rate was 13% for the first six months of 2021 and 176% for the first six months of 2020. The effective tax rate decreased primarily due to the change in the noncontrolling interest of Cove Point as a result of the GT&S Transaction and lower pre-tax income driven by charges associated with the Supply Header Project.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests increased $137 million for the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to DEI's 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point effective with the GT&S Transaction.

(1)Refer to Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion regarding Eastern Energy Gas' intercompany credit agreement.
Operating Activities

Net cash flows from operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $581 million and $1.0 billion, respectively. The change was primarily due to lower collections from affiliates, lower income tax receipts and the timing of payments of operating costs.

The timing of Eastern Energy Gas' income tax cash flows from period to period can be significantly affected by the estimated federal income tax payment methods elected and assumptions for each payment date.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows from investing activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $(52) million and $751 million, respectively. The change was primarily due to a decrease in repayments of loans by affiliates of $897 million, partially offset by a decrease in loans to affiliates of $105 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 were $(480) million. Sources of cash totaled $256 million and consisted of proceeds from equity contributions, that primarily included a contribution from its indirect parent, BHE, to Eastern Energy Gas to assist in the repayment of $500 million of debt. Uses of cash totaled $736 million and consisted mainly of repayments of long-term debt of $500 million, distributions to noncontrolling interests from Cove Point of $225 million and repayment of notes to affiliates of $9 million.

Net cash flows from financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 were $(1.7) billion. Sources of cash consisted of $54 million from the net issuances of affiliated current borrowings. Uses of cash totaled $1.8 billion and consisted mainly of distributions to DEI of $1.7 billion and repayments of short-term debt of $62 million.

Future Uses of Cash

Eastern Energy Gas has available a variety of sources of liquidity and capital resources, both internal and external, including net cash flows from operating activities, public and private debt offerings, the use of credit agreements, capital contributions and other sources. These sources are expected to provide funds required for current operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, investments, debt retirements and other capital requirements. The availability and terms under which Eastern Energy Gas and each subsidiary has access to external financing depends on a variety of factors, including regulatory approvals, Eastern Energy Gas' credit ratings, investors' judgment of risk and conditions in the overall capital markets, including the condition of the utility industry.
178


Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditure needs are reviewed regularly by management and may change significantly as a result of these reviews, which may consider, among other factors, changes in environmental and other rules and regulations; impacts to customers' rates; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; changes in income tax laws; general business conditions; system reliability standards; the cost and efficiency of construction labor, equipment and materials; commodity prices; and the cost and availability of capital. Expenditures for certain assets may ultimately include acquisition of existing assets.

Eastern Energy Gas' historical and forecasted capital expenditures, each of which exclude amounts for non-cash equity AFUDC and other non-cash items, are as follows (in millions):
Six-Month PeriodsAnnual
Ended June 30,Forecast
202020212021
Natural gas transmission and storage$49 $11 $22 
Other98 139 448 
Total$147 $150 $470 

Eastern Energy Gas' natural gas transmission and storage capital expenditures primarily include growth capital expenditures related to planned regulated projects. Eastern Energy Gas' other capital expenditures consist primarily of non-regulated and routine capital expenditures for natural gas transmission, storage and liquefied natural gas terminalling infrastructure needed to serve existing and expected demand.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2021, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in contractual obligations from the information provided in Item 7 of Eastern Energy Gas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Regulatory Matters

Eastern Energy Gas is subject to comprehensive regulation. Refer to Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for discussion regarding Eastern Energy Gas' current regulatory matters.

Environmental Laws and Regulations

Eastern Energy Gas is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding climate change, air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact its current and future operations. In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations and capital expenditure requirements, these laws and regulations provide regulators with the authority to levy substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. These laws and regulations are administered by various federal, state and local agencies. Eastern Energy Gas believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, although many laws and regulations are subject to interpretation that may ultimately be resolved by the courts.

Refer to "Environmental Laws and Regulations" in Berkshire Hathaway Energy's Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding environmental laws and regulations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Certain accounting measurements require management to make estimates and judgments concerning transactions that will be settled several years in the future. Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on such estimates involve numerous assumptions subject to varying and potentially significant degrees of judgment and uncertainty and will likely change in the future as additional information becomes available. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the effects of certain types of regulation, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets and income taxes. For additional discussion of Eastern Energy Gas' critical accounting estimates, see Item 7 of Eastern Energy Gas' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no significant changes in Eastern Energy Gas' assumptions regarding critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2020.
