Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased $21.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors and higher fuel and purchased power payments in 2025 as compared to 2024.  The decrease was partially offset by higher collections from customers.  See Note 2 to the financial statements in the Form 10-K for a discussion of fuel and purchased power cost recovery.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities increased $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase of $17.9 million in non-nuclear generation construction expenditures primarily due to a higher scope of work performed during plant outages in 2025 as compared to 2024, partially offset by the receipt of $10.3 million from the storm reserve escrow account in 2025.
