Filing receipts

The variance was driven primarily by: • a $44 million increase in fuel-related revenues primarily due to higher natural gas costs passed through to customers, partially offset by lower natural gas retail sales volumes; • a $35 million increase in retail revenue riders primarily due to the Distribution Capital Investment Rider, Base Transmission Rider, Ohio CEP Rider and Pipeline Modernization Mechanism Rider; • a $33 million increase primarily due to higher pricing from the 2024 Duke Energy Kentucky electric rate case and the 2025 Duke Energy Kentucky natural gas rate case; and • a $17 million increase in Bulk Power Marketing sales.

The variance was driven primarily by: • a $123 million increase in cost of natural gas revenues primarily due to higher commodity prices; • a $24 million increase due to customer growth in North Carolina and South Carolina and the North Carolina Integrity Management Rider (IMR); • a $14 million increase in Midwest rider revenue; and • an $11 million increase primarily due to higher pricing from the 2025 Duke Energy Kentucky natural gas rate case.

The variance was driven primarily by: • a $145 million increase in fuel revenues primarily due to net higher fuel rates and volumes in the current year; • a $117 million increase due to higher pricing from rate cases across jurisdictions; • an $84 million increase in weather-normal retail sales volumes; • a $74 million increase in rider revenue primarily due to higher rates for the SPP at Duke Energy Florida and the Distribution Capital Investment Rider at Duke Energy Ohio; and • a $52 million increase in wholesale revenues, net of fuel, due to higher capacity volumes and rates at Duke Energy Progress.
