ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Utility owns or has obtained the right to occupy or use real property comprising the Utility’s electricity and natural gas distribution facilities, electric generation facilities, natural gas gathering facilities and generation facilities, and natural gas and electricity transmission facilities, which are described in Item 1. Business, under “Electric Utility Operations”, “Natural Gas Utility Operations,” and “Nuclear Operations.”  The Utility occupies or uses real property primarily through various leases, easements, rights-of-way, permits, or licenses from private landowners or governmental authorities.  In total, the Utility occupies approximately 7.5 million square feet of real property, including 5.5 million square feet owned by the Utility.  Virtually all of the Utility’s plant property is subject to the lien of a first mortgage bond indenture.

The Utility leases the Lakeside Building and has exercised an option to purchase the Property.  The Utility will continue to lease the Property until closing in June 2025.  For more information, see Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8.

The Utility owns over 135,000 acres of land, including approximately 100,000 acres of watershed lands.  In 2002, the Utility agreed to implement its Land Conservation Commitment (“LCC”) to permanently preserve the six “beneficial public values” on all the watershed lands through conservation easements or equivalent protections, as well as to make approximately 40,000 acres of the watershed lands available for donation to qualified organizations.  The six “beneficial public values” being preserved by the LCC include: natural habitat of fish, wildlife, and plants; open space; outdoor recreation by the general public; sustainable forestry; agricultural uses; and historic values.  In 2024, the Utility met its goal to permanently preserve the approximate 140,000 acres of watershed lands, after securing all required regulatory approvals.
