The company substantively modified five existing risk disclosures, including those addressing environmental remediation costs, counterparty exposure, climate commitments, and capital acquisition capabilities, indicating heightened focus on execution risks tied to its stated renewable energy and grid reliability objectives. Overall, the risk factor landscape shifted from 24 static disclosures to an expanded profile emphasizing new market dynamics and operational dependencies.
