Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks NORTHERN STATES POWER CO names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 30 risks under these headings, as written.13

  • Risks Associated with Our Business
  • Operational Risks
  • Our natural gas and electric generation/transmission and distribution operations involve numerous risks that may result in accidents and other operating risks and costs.
  • Our utility operations, resource adequacy and system reliability are subject to long-term planning and project risks.
  • Our utility operations are highly dependent on suppliers to deliver components in accordance with short and long-term project schedules.
  • We are subject to physical and financial risks associated with climate change and other weather, natural disaster and resource depletion impacts.
  • Our utilities have significant risks associated with wildfires.
  • We are subject to commodity risks and other risks associated with energy markets and energy production.
  • Failure to attract and retain a qualified workforce could have an adverse effect on operations.
  • Our operations use third-party contractors in addition to employees to perform periodic and ongoing work.
  • Actions of our employees, directors, third-party contractors or suppliers could expose us to reputational risks.
  • We are subject to the risks of nuclear generation.
The other 20 risks
  • We share in the electric production and transmission costs of the NSP-Wisconsin system, which is integrated with our system. Accordingly, our costs may be increased due to increased costs associated with NSP-Wisconsin’s system.
  • We are a wholly owned subsidiary of Xcel Energy Inc. Xcel Energy Inc. can exercise substantial control over our dividend policy and business and operations and may exercise that control in a manner that may be perceived to be adverse to our interests.
  • Financial Risks
  • Our profitability depends on our ability to recover costs and changes in regulation may impair our ability to recover costs from our customers.
  • Growth in large load customers, including data centers, may increase customer concentration, capital requirements and revenue variability risks.
  • Any reductions in our credit ratings could increase our financing costs and the cost of maintaining certain contractual relationships.
  • We are subject to capital market and interest rate risks.
  • We are subject to credit risks.
  • As we are a subsidiary of Xcel Energy Inc., we may be negatively affected by events impacting the credit or liquidity of Xcel Energy Inc. and its affiliates.
  • Increasing costs of our defined benefit retirement plans and employee benefits may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
  • Increasing costs associated with health care plans may adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Federal tax law may significantly impact our business.
  • Macroeconomic Risks
  • Economic conditions impact our business.
  • We face risks related to health epidemics and other outbreaks, which may have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  • Operations could be impacted by war, terrorism, or other events.
  • A cybersecurity incident or security breach could have a material effect on our business.
  • Our operating results may fluctuate on a seasonal and quarterly basis and can be adversely affected by milder weather.
  • Public Policy Risks
  • Increased risks of regulatory penalties could negatively impact our business.
  • The continued use of natural gas for both power generation and gas distribution have increasingly become a public policy advocacy target. These efforts may result in a limitation of natural gas as an energy source for both power generation and heating, which could impact our ability to reliably and affordably serve our customers.
  • Environmental Policy Risks
  • We may be subject to legislative and regulatory responses to climate change, with which compliance could be difficult and costly.
  • We are subject to environmental laws and regulations, with which compliance could be difficult and costly.

Legal proceedings

NSP-Minnesota is involved in various litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. The assessment of whether a loss is probable or is a reasonable possibility, and whether the loss or a range of loss is estimable, often involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Management maintains accruals for losses probable of being incurred and subject to reasonable estimation.

Management is sometimes unable to estimate an amount or range of a reasonably possible loss in certain situations, including but not limited to, when (1) the damages sought are indeterminate, (2) the proceedings are in the early stages, or (3) the matters involve novel or unsettled legal theories. In such cases, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss.

For current proceedings not specifically reported herein, management does not anticipate that the ultimate liabilities, if any, would have a material effect on NSP-Minnesota’s consolidated financial statements. Legal fees are generally expensed as incurred.

See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, Item 1 and Item 7 for further information.
