In context
“targeting credit metrics of 14% over the planning period. We remain confident in our ability to deliver value for our customers and our shareholders. Thank you. I will now turn the call back to Calvin for his closing remarks. Calvin G. Butler: Thank you, Jeanne. I will close on Slide 9 by reinforcing what matters most as we move forward. Our priorities are clear and unchanged. We are executing our capital plan with discipline, delivering strong operational performance, advancing affordability through prudent investment, and pursuing growth where it strengthens the system and creates long-term value. That discipline is supported by a platform built to perform. Our scale, diversified footprint, and capital flexibility allow us to adapt as conditions evolve without losing focus or momentum. In 2026, we expect to deploy approximately $10 billion of capital for the benefit of our customers, earn a consolidated 9% to 10% ROE, and deliver operating earnings of $2.81 to $2.91 per share with a goal of achieving midpoint or better, while maintaining a strong and resilient balance sheet. The infrastructure we operate is foundational to the communities and economies we serve. We take that responsibility seriously, and we meet it every day through consistent execution, high operational standards, and a clear focus on the people who rely on us. Before I close, I also want to recognize the work of our employees across the company. Balancing long-term infrastructure needs with customer affordability is not easy. It requires judgment and discipline at every step. That work extends beyond prioritizing the right investment. It includes constructive regulatory engagement, partnership with local communities, and advocacy for policies that promote affordability and reliability, even when they are not popular. I am proud of how our teams manage this balance. Their focus on execution,”
