(a)Wind and Solar PTCs (net of transfer discounts) are generally credited to customers (reduction to revenue) and do not materially impact earnings. (b)Regulatory adjustments primarily relate to the credit of plant related excess deferred taxes to customers for tax rate changes as well as the capitalization of AFUDC equity for book purposes only. Income tax benefits associated with the credit of excess deferred taxes are offset by corresponding revenue reductions. (c)State and local income taxes are primarily Minnesota and Colorado state taxes.
