CMS Energy Corporation
Consumers Energy Company
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This MD&A is a combined report of CMS Energy and Consumers.
CMS Energy is an energy company operating primarily in Michigan. It is the parent holding company of several subsidiaries, including Consumers, an electric and gas utility, and CMS Enterprises, primarily a domestic independent power producer. Consumers electric utility operations include the generation, purchase, distribution, and sale of electricity, and Consumers gas utility operations include the purchase, transmission, storage, distribution, and sale of natural gas. Consumers customer base consists of a mix of residential, commercial, and diversified industrial customers. CMS Enterprises, through its subsidiaries and equity investments, owns and operates power generation facilities.
CMS Energy and Consumers manage their businesses by the nature of services each provides. CMS Energy operates principally in three business segments: electric utility; gas utility; and enterprises, its non-utility investments and operations. Consumers operates principally in two business segments: electric utility and gas utility.
CMS Energy and Consumers earn revenue and generate cash from operations by providing electric and natural gas utility services; electric distribution and generation; gas transmission, storage, and distribution; and other energy-related services. Their businesses are affected primarily by:
· regulation and regulatory matters;
· economic conditions;
· weather;
· energy commodity prices;
· interest rates; and
· CMS Energys and Consumers securities credit ratings.
CMS Energys business strategy emphasizes the key elements depicted below:
Accountability is part of CMS Energys corporate culture. CMS Energy is committed to making the right choices to serve its customers safely and affordably and to acting responsibly as a corporate citizen. CMS Energy holds itself accountable to the highest standards of safety, operational performance, and ethical behavior, and works diligently to comply with all laws, rules, and regulations that govern the electric and gas industry.
In October 2013, Consumers Energy released its first-ever accountability report. The report provides an overview of Consumers efforts to continue meeting Michigans energy needs safely and efficiently, and highlights Consumers commitment to Michigan businesses, its corporate citizenship, and its role in reducing the states air emissions.
SAFE, EXCELLENT OPERATIONS
The safety of employees, customers, and the general public remains a priority of CMS Energy and Consumers. Accordingly, CMS Energy and Consumers have worked to integrate a set of safety principles into their business operations and culture. These principles include complying with applicable safety, health, and security regulations and implementing programs and processes aimed at continually improving safety and security conditions. From 2006 to 2012, Consumers achieved a 76 percent reduction in the annual number of recordable safety incidents.
CUSTOMER VALUE
Consumers is undertaking a number of initiatives that reflect its intensified customer focus. Consumers planned investments in reliability are aimed at improving safety, reducing customer outage frequency, reducing repetitive outages, and increasing customer satisfaction. Also, in order to minimize increases in customer rates, Consumers has undertaken several initiatives to reduce costs through a voluntary separation plan in 2012, accelerated pension funding, employee and retiree health-care cost sharing, negotiated labor agreements, information system efficiencies, and productivity improvement programs. Consumers has also filed certain applications with the MPSC that, if approved, are expected to result in cost savings for customers. These initiatives, together with Consumers plans to accelerate further cost reductions, should allow Consumers to avoid increasing electric and gas base rates through 2014. Consumers may reconsider this expectation should its assumptions change regarding the economy or other matters.
UTILITY INVESTMENT
Consumers expects to make capital investments of about $7 billion from 2013 through 2017. Consumers has limited its capital investment program to those investments it believes are needed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient service to its customers. Consumers capital investment program is expected to result in annual rate base growth of five to seven percent while allowing Consumers to maintain sustainable customer base rate increases (excluding PSCR and GCR charges) at or below the rate of inflation.
Among the key components of Consumers investment program are projects that will enhance customer value. Consumers planned base capital investments of $3.5 billion comprise $2.1 billion of electric utility projects to improve reliability and increase capacity and $1.4 billion of gas utility projects to increase capacity and deliverability and enhance pipeline integrity. An additional $1.4 billion of planned reliability investments at Consumers are aimed at reducing outages and improving customer satisfaction; these investments comprise $0.6 billion at the electric utility to strengthen circuits and substations, replace poles, and upgrade the Ludington pumped-storage plant, and $0.8 billion at the gas utility to replace mains and enhance transmission and storage systems. Consumers also expects to spend $1.0 billion on environmental investments needed to comply with state and federal laws and regulations.
In December 2012, Consumers announced plans to build a 700-MW gas-fueled electric generating plant at its Thetford complex in Genesee County, Michigan. In July 2013, Consumers received an air permit for the proposed plant from the MDEQ and, as allowed under the 2008 Energy Law, filed for approval of a certificate of necessity with the MPSC. Construction of the plant, at an estimated cost of $750 million, is contingent upon obtaining the certificate of necessity and environmental permits. Consumers expects that the plant would be operational in 2017.
While Consumers continues to move ahead with its plans to build a new gas-fueled electric generating plant, it also issued a solicitation in September 2013 seeking offers from owners of existing gas-fueled electric generating plants located in Michigans Lower Peninsula to sell their plants to Consumers. The purchase by Consumers of one or more existing plants could represent a cost-effective alternative to building a new plant.
Renewable energy projects are another major component of Consumers planned capital investments. Consumers expects to spend $0.3 billion on renewable energy investments, under an MPSC-approved renewable energy plan, from 2013 through 2017. The 2008 Energy Law requires that at least ten percent of Consumers electric sales volume come from renewable energy sources by 2015, and it includes requirements for specific capacity additions. Consumers has historically included renewable resources as part of its portfolio, with about eight percent of its present power supply coming from such renewable sources as hydropower, landfill gas, biomass, wind, anaerobic digestion, and solar.
Consumers Smart Energy program, with an estimated total project capital cost of $0.8 billion, also represents a major capital investment. The full-scale deployment of advanced metering infrastructure began in August 2012 and is planned to continue through 2019. Consumers has spent $0.2 billion through 2012 on its Smart Energy program, and expects to spend an additional $0.3 billion, following a phased approach, from 2013 through 2017.
REGULATION
Regulatory matters are a key aspect of CMS Energys and Consumers businesses, particularly Consumers rate cases and regulatory proceedings before the MPSC. In July 2013, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder appointed Sally Talberg to serve on the three-member MPSC for a six-year term, replacing Orjiakor Isiogu. Ms. Talberg has served in various energy-related consulting, management, and public service roles during her career. She represents political independents on the Commission. Other important regulatory events and developments are summarized below.
· Electric Rate Case: Consumers filed a general electric rate case with the MPSC in September 2012, seeking an annual rate increase of $148 million. In March 2013, Consumers self-implemented an annual rate increase of $110 million, subject to refund with interest. The MPSC approved a partial settlement agreement in May 2013, authorizing an annual rate increase of $89 million, based on a 10.3 percent authorized rate of return on equity. Consumers filed an application in July 2013 requesting that the MPSC find that total revenues collected during self-implementation did not exceed those that would have been collected under final rates and that no refund would be required.
· Gas Rate Case: In February 2013, Consumers filed an application with the MPSC seeking an annual rate increase of $49 million, based on a 10.5 percent authorized return on equity. The filing requested authority to recover new investments in customer reliability, deliverability, safety, and system enhancements, and sought approval of several rate adjustment mechanisms. Subsequent to this filing, Consumers projection of non-fuel costs decreased. As a result, in June 2013, Consumers filed a petition with the MPSC to close the docket or, alternatively, to suspend and extend indefinitely the schedule in this case. The MPSC approved Consumers petition to suspend and extend indefinitely the schedule.
· Income Tax Benefits Accounting Application: In August 2013, Consumers filed an application with the MPSC requesting approval to accelerate the flow-through to electric and gas customers of certain income tax benefits associated primarily with the cost of removal of plant placed in service before 1993. Under the accounting treatment that Consumers has been using, Consumers has estimated that it would take at least 50 years to flow through these income tax benefits to customers. In September 2013, the MPSC approved Consumers application with modification, authorizing Consumers to return $211 million of income tax benefits over five years to electric customers and $264 million of income tax benefits over 12 years to gas customers. The MPSC authorized Consumers to implement this accounting treatment effective January 2014.
· Proposals to Recover Investment in Plants: Consumers has filed two applications with the MPSC to propose alternative methods to recover its investment in seven smaller coal-fueled units that Consumers plans to mothball in 2016 and in three smaller gas-fueled units whose operations Consumers mothballed in 2009.
In August 2013, Consumers filed an application requesting MPSC advanced approval to use standard utility plant retirement accounting in the event of early retirement of these ten units. Specifically, Consumers requested the MPSC to provide assurance that the full amount of the undepreciated investment, demolition costs, and cost of removal, including a return on the assets, would, upon their early retirement, be recovered through retail electric base rates.
In September 2013, Consumers filed an application with the MPSC requesting approval to issue up to $454 million in securitization bonds through a newly formed subsidiary. Under Michigan law, electric utilities are permitted to use highly rated, low-cost securitization bonds to finance the recovery of qualified costs. The qualified costs that Consumers has requested approval to securitize are principally the remaining book value and projected demolition costs of the ten units described above. If the MPSC approves Consumers application and Consumers proceeds with this bond issuance, Consumers will then adjust its retail electric base rates to exclude the revenue requirement associated with these costs. Consumers estimates that employing this recovery mechanism in place of existing ratemaking treatment would provide initial annual cost savings to full-service customers of $24 million.
· Gas Revenue Decoupling Mechanism: The gas revenue decoupling mechanism, authorized by the MPSC in its 2009 order in Consumers gas rate case and extended through April 2012, allowed Consumers to adjust future gas rates to the degree that actual average weather-adjusted sales per customer differed from the rate order. In December 2012, the MPSC approved Consumers first reconciliation of the gas revenue decoupling mechanism, in which Consumers requested recovery of $16 million from customers for the period June 2010 through May 2011. The MPSC authorized recovery of the full amount over a three-month period that began in February 2013.
Consumers filed its final reconciliation of the gas revenue decoupling mechanism in August 2012, requesting recovery of $17 million from customers for the period June 2011 through April 2012. At September 30, 2013, Consumers had a $17 million regulatory asset recorded for gas revenue decoupling for that period.
The 2008 Energy Law limits alternative electric supply to ten percent of Consumers weather-adjusted retail sales of the preceding calendar year. At September 30, 2013, Consumers electric deliveries under the ROA program were at the ten percent limit. In February 2013, a bill was introduced to the Michigan Senate that, if enacted, would revise the 2008 Energy Law and allow customers on the ROA program waiting list to switch their service to an alternative electric supplier. Presently, the proportion of Consumers electric deliveries under the ROA program and on the ROA waiting list is 25 percent. The
bill also proposes an increase in the cap of six percentage points per year from 2014 through 2016. Consumers is unable to predict the outcome of this legislative proposal.
Environmental regulation is another area of importance for CMS Energy and Consumers, and they are monitoring numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives, including initiatives to regulate greenhouse gases, and related litigation.
In 2012, the EPA published its final MACT emission standards for electric generating units, based on Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, calling the final rule MATS. Although numerous parties, including the State of Michigan, have sought to extend the deadline of MATS, it is expected to take effect in 2015. Consumers has received from the MDEQ a one-year extension for MATS and the Michigan Mercury Rule for ten of its coal-fueled units, allowing them to run as presently configured until April 2016. CMS Energy and Consumers are continuing to assess the impact and cost associated with these standards.
In September 2013, the EPA issued proposed rules to limit carbon dioxide emissions from new fossil-fuel-fired electric generation units. Also, President Obama has directed the EPA to address greenhouse gas emissions of existing, modified, and reconstructed fossil-fuel-fired steam electric generating units with proposed standards, regulations, or guidelines to be completed by June 1, 2014, and final standards, regulations, or guidelines to be completed by June 1, 2015. Subsequent state implementation plans are due by June 30, 2016. Consumers believes that its balanced energy initiative, its present carbon reduction target, and its emphasis on supply diversity will position it favorably to deal with the impact of carbon regulation, but cannot predict the nature or outcome of these proposals. Consumers will continue to monitor regulatory activity regarding greenhouse gas emissions standards that may affect electric generating units.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, CMS Energys net income available to common stockholders was $350 million, and diluted EPS were $1.29. This compares with net income available to common stockholders of $315 million and diluted EPS of $1.17 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The main factors contributing to CMS Energys improved performance in 2013 were increased gas deliveries and the absence, in 2013, of the write-off of Consumers electric revenue decoupling mechanism regulatory asset in 2012.
Consumers utility operations are seasonal. The consumption of electric energy typically increases in the summer months, due primarily to the use of air conditioners and other cooling equipment, while peak demand for natural gas occurs in the winter due to colder temperatures and the resulting use of natural gas as heating fuel. In addition, Consumers electric rates, which follow a seasonal rate design, are higher in the summer months than in the remaining months of the year. A more detailed discussion of the factors affecting CMS Energys and Consumers performance can be found in the Results of Operations section that follows this Executive Overview.
CMS Energy and Consumers believe that economic conditions in Michigan are improving. Consumers expects its electric sales to increase annually by about 0.5 to 1.0 percent on average through 2017, driven largely by the continued rise in industrial production. Excluding the impacts of energy efficiency programs, Consumers expects its electric sales to increase by about 1.0 to 1.5 percent annually through 2017. Consumers is projecting that its gas sales will remain stable through 2017. This outlook reflects growth in gas demand offset by energy efficiency and conservation.
As Consumers seeks to continue to receive fair and timely regulatory treatment, delivering customer value will remain a key strategic priority. To keep costs down for its utility customers, Consumers has set goals to achieve further annual productivity improvements. Additionally, Consumers will strive to give priority to capital investments that increase customer value or lower costs.
Consumers expects to continue to have sufficient capacity to fund its investment-based growth plans. CMS Energy also expects its sources of liquidity to remain sufficient to meet its cash requirements. CMS Energy and Consumers will continue to monitor developments in the financial and credit markets, as well as government policy responses to those developments, for potential implications for their businesses and their future financial needs.

Electric deliveries and rate increases: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, electric delivery revenues decreased $25 million compared with 2012. This decrease reflected $31 million of lower deliveries, due primarily to milder weather in 2013, offset partially by a $6 million increase in other revenues attributable to a May 2013 rate increase. Deliveries to end-use customers, excluding deliveries to Consumers largest customer, which is on an economic development rate, were 9.4 billion kWh in 2013, a decrease of 0.3 billion kWh, or three percent, compared with 2012.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, electric delivery revenues increased $53 million compared with 2012. This increase reflected the absence, in 2013, of a $59 million charge to write off Consumers electric decoupling regulatory asset in 2012, and a $28 million benefit from a May 2013 rate increase that Consumers self-implemented in March 2013. These increases were offset partially by $34 million of lower deliveries, due primarily to milder weather in 2013. Deliveries to end-use customers, excluding deliveries to Consumers largest customer, which is on an economic development rate, were 26.7 billion kWh in 2013, a decrease of 0.2 billion kWh, or one percent, compared with 2012.
Other income, net of expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, other income increased $9 million compared with 2012, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, other income increased $7 million compared with 2012. These increases were due primarily to the absence, in 2013, of contributions related to a 2012 Michigan ballot proposal.
Maintenance and other operating expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, maintenance and other operating expenses decreased $12 million compared with 2012. This decrease was due to a $10 million reduction in OPEB cost resulting from OPEB Plan changes adopted in July 2013, and a $2 million decrease in other operating expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, maintenance and other operating expenses increased $1 million compared with 2012. This increase reflected the absence, in 2013, of a $14 million recovery associated with Consumers canceled coal-fueled plant in 2012. This increase was offset largely by a $10 million reduction in OPEB cost resulting from OPEB Plan changes adopted in July 2013 and a $3 million reduction in OPEB cost due to favorable OPEB Plan performance.
Depreciation and amortization: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, depreciation and amortization expense increased $5 million compared with 2012, due primarily to increased plant in service, offset partially by lower amortization expenses on certain regulatory assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, depreciation and amortization expense increased $24 million compared with 2012. This increase was due primarily to increased plant in service and an increase in depreciation rates that took effect in June 2012, offset partially by lower amortization expense on certain regulatory assets.
General taxes: For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, general taxes increased $4 million compared with 2012, due primarily to increased property taxes, reflecting higher capital spending.
Income taxes: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, income taxes decreased $2 million compared with 2012, reflecting lower electric utility earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, income taxes increased $13 million compared with 2012, reflecting higher electric utility earnings for the first nine months of 2013.

Gas deliveries and rate increases: For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, gas delivery revenues increased $56 million compared with 2012. This increase reflected a $52 million increase in revenues from higher customer deliveries, due primarily to colder weather in 2013, which were offset partially by the impact on 2012 revenues of the gas revenue decoupling mechanism, and an $8 million benefit from a June 2012 rate increase that Consumers self-implemented in March 2012. These increases were offset partially by a $4 million decrease in other revenues. Deliveries to end-use customers were 206 bcf in 2013, an increase of 34 bcf, or 19.8 percent, compared with 2012.
Maintenance and other operating expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, maintenance and other operating expenses decreased $2 million compared with 2012. This decrease was due to a $6 million reduction in OPEB cost resulting from OPEB Plan changes adopted in July 2013, offset partially by a $4 million increase in other operating expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, maintenance and other operating expenses decreased $3 million compared with 2012. This decrease was due to a $6 million reduction in OPEB cost resulting from OPEB Plan changes adopted in July 2013 and a $2 million reduction to OPEB cost due to favorable OPEB Plan performance. These decreases were offset partially by a $5 million increase in other operating expenses.
Income taxes: For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, income taxes increased $21 million compared with 2012, due primarily to higher gas utility earnings for the first nine months of 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, net income of the enterprises segment decreased $9 million compared with 2012. This decrease was due to $4 million of additional tax expense related to OPEB Plan changes adopted in July 2013 and $5 million in higher after-tax expenses due primarily to the absence in 2013 of a 2012 insurance settlement.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net income of the enterprises segment decreased $8 million compared with 2012.

1 Non-cash transactions comprise depreciation and amortization, changes in deferred income taxes, postretirement benefits expense, and other non-cash items.
2 Core working capital comprises accounts receivable and accrued revenues, inventories, and accounts payable.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities at CMS Energy increased $184 million compared with 2012, and net cash provided by operating activities at Consumers increased $109 million compared with 2012. The increases were due primarily to higher net income, net of non-cash transactions, the receipt of a $69 million renewable energy grant for Lake Winds® Energy Park, and a reduction in working capital due to higher usage of gas and other fuel from inventory. These changes were offset partially by higher pension contributions. At Consumers, these changes were also offset partially by an increase in tax payments to CMS Energy.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities at CMS Energy increased $82 million compared with 2012 and net cash provided by financing activities at Consumers increased $158 million compared with 2012. These changes were due primarily to a decrease in net debt retirements, offset partially by repayments by Consumers under its revolving accounts receivable sales program.
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Effective July 1, 2013, CMS Energy and Consumers approved a change to the Medicare drug program provided through their OPEB Plan from an employer-sponsored prescription drug plan with a retiree drug subsidy to an EGWP, to begin on January 1, 2015. As a result of changes stemming from the Health Care Acts, the EGWP structure can result in reduced costs for employers, without impacting plan participants benefit coverage or costs. Also effective July 1, 2013, CMS Energy and Consumers approved certain benefit changes to the OPEB Plan, to begin on January 1, 2016. Accordingly, CMS Energy and Consumers performed a remeasurement of the OPEB Plan as of July 1, 2013. In addition, with the plan remeasurement, the discount rate used to measure the OPEB liability was increased from 4.4 percent at December 31, 2012 to 5.1 percent at July 1, 2013. Assumptions regarding the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the health-care cost trend rate did not change from December 31, 2012 levels.
As a result of these changes, CMS Energys (including Consumers) OPEB liability decreased by $638 million, its OPEB regulatory asset of $580 million was eliminated, and an OPEB regulatory liability of $34 million was established as of July 1, 2013. CMS Energys accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased by $24 million. CMS Energys (including Consumers) OPEB cost is expected to decrease by $48 million in 2013. Consumers OPEB liability decreased by $614 million, its OPEB regulatory asset of $580 million was eliminated, and an OPEB regulatory liability of $34 million was established as of July 1, 2013. Consumers OPEB cost is expected to decrease by $46 million in 2013.
The decrease in CMS Energys and Consumers OPEB liabilities was due primarily to the change in the discount rate used to measure the liabilities and other changes in actuarial assumptions, the benefit changes, and the change in the OPEB Plans Medicare drug program to the EGWP structure. Presented in the following table are the components of the decrease in CMS Energys and Consumers OPEB liabilities at July 1, 2013.

Contribution estimates comprise required amounts and discretionary contributions. Consumers pension and OPEB costs are recoverable through its general ratemaking process. Actual future costs and contributions will depend on future investment performance, changes in discount rates, and various other factors related to the Pension Plan and OPEB participants.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CMS Energy uses dividends from its subsidiaries and external financing and capital transactions to invest in its utility and non-utility businesses, retire debt, pay dividends, and fund its other obligations. The ability of CMS Energys subsidiaries, including Consumers, to pay dividends to CMS Energy depends upon each subsidiarys revenues, earnings, cash needs, and other factors. In addition, Consumers ability to pay dividends is restricted by certain terms included in its debt covenants and articles of incorporation, and potentially by provisions under the Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act and FERC requirements. For additional details on Consumers dividend restrictions, see Note 3, Financings and Capitalization Dividend Restrictions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Consumers paid $300 million in common stock dividends to CMS Energy.
CMS Energy has entered into two continuous equity offering programs permitting it to sell, from time to time in at the market offerings, common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $50 million per program. Under the first program, entered into in 2011, CMS Energy issued common stock and received net proceeds of $20 million in March 2013 and $15 million in each of 2012 and 2011. In April 2013, CMS Energy entered into the second continuous equity offering program, but has not yet issued any equity under this program.
Consumers uses cash flows generated from operations and external financing transactions, as well as stockholder contributions from CMS Energy, to fund capital expenditures, retire debt, pay dividends, contribute to its employee benefit plans, and fund its other obligations.
CMS Energys and Consumers access to the financial and capital markets depends on their credit ratings and on market conditions. As evidenced by past financing transactions, CMS Energy and Consumers have had ready access to these markets and, barring major market dislocations or disruptions, they expect to continue to have such access. If access to these markets were to diminish or otherwise become restricted, however, CMS Energy and Consumers would implement contingency plans to address debt maturities, which could include reduced capital spending. CMS Energy and Consumers had the following secured revolving credit facilities available at September 30, 2013:

CMS Energy and Consumers use these credit facilities for general working capital purposes and to issue letters of credit. An additional source of liquidity is Consumers revolving accounts receivable sales program, which allows it to transfer up to $250 million of accounts receivable as a secured borrowing. At September 30, 2013, $250 million of accounts receivable were eligible for transfer under this program.
Certain of CMS Energys and Consumers credit agreements, debt indentures, and other facilities contain covenants that require CMS Energy and Consumers to maintain certain financial ratios, as defined therein. At September 30, 2013, no events of default had occurred with respect to any financial covenants contained in CMS Energys and Consumers credit agreements, debt indentures, or other facilities. CMS Energy and Consumers were each in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2013, as presented in the following table:

Components of CMS Energys and Consumers cash management plan include controlling operating expenses and capital expenditures and evaluating market conditions for financing and refinancing opportunities. CMS Energy and Consumers believe that their present level of cash and their expected cash flows from operating activities, together with their access to sources of liquidity, will be sufficient to fund their contractual obligations for 2013 and beyond.
OFF-BALANCE-SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
CMS Energy, Consumers, and certain of their subsidiaries also enter into various arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties. These arrangements include indemnities, surety bonds, letters of credit, and financial and performance guarantees. Indemnities are usually agreements to reimburse a counterparty that may incur losses due to outside claims or breach of contract terms. The maximum payment that could be required under a number of these indemnity obligations is not estimable; the maximum obligation under indemnities for which such amounts were estimable was $476 million at September 30, 2013. While CMS Energy and Consumers believe it is unlikely that they will incur any material losses related to indemnities they have not recorded as liabilities, they cannot predict the impact of these contingent obligations on their liquidity and financial condition. For additional details on these and other guarantee arrangements, see Note 2, Contingencies and Commitments Guarantees.
Several business trends and uncertainties may affect CMS Energys and Consumers financial condition and results of operations. These trends and uncertainties could have a material impact on CMS Energys and Consumers consolidated income, cash flows, or financial position. For additional details regarding these and other uncertainties, see Forward-Looking Statements and Information; Note 2, Contingencies and Commitments; and Part II Item 1A. Risk Factors.
CONSUMERS ELECTRIC UTILITY AND GAS UTILITY BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND UNCERTAINTIES
Rate Matters: Rate matters are critical to Consumers electric and gas utility businesses. For additional details on rate matters, see Note 1, Regulatory Matters.
Future Rate Cases: In order to minimize increases in customer base rates, Consumers has undertaken several initiatives to reduce costs through a voluntary separation plan in 2012, accelerated pension funding, employee and retiree health-care cost sharing, negotiated labor agreements, information system efficiencies, and productivity improvement programs. Consumers has also filed certain applications with the MPSC, including the accounting application described in the following paragraph, that, if approved, are expected to result in cost savings for customers. These initiatives, together with Consumers plans to accelerate further cost reductions, should allow Consumers to avoid increasing electric and gas base rates through 2014. Consumers may reconsider this expectation should its assumptions change regarding the economy or other matters.
Income Tax Benefits Accounting Application: In August 2013, Consumers filed an application with the MPSC requesting approval to accelerate the flow-through to electric and gas customers of certain income tax benefits associated primarily with the cost of removal of plant placed in service before 1993. Under the accounting treatment that Consumers has been using, Consumers has estimated that it would take at least 50 years to flow through these income tax benefits to customers. In September 2013, the MPSC approved Consumers application with modification, authorizing Consumers to return $211 million of income tax benefits over five years to electric customers and $264 million of income tax benefits over 12 years to gas customers. The MPSC authorized Consumers to implement this accounting treatment effective January 2014.
Smart Energy: Consumers grid modernization effort continues. In August 2012, Consumers began installing smart meters in Muskegon County, Michigan. One of the functions of smart meters is to allow customers to monitor and manage their energy usage, which Consumers expects will help reduce demand during critical peak times, resulting in lower peak capacity requirements. The installation of smart meters should also provide for both operational and customer benefits. As of September 30, 2013, Consumers had upgraded over 125,000 electric residential and small business customers in western Michigan to
smart meters. Consumers is able to read these smart meters remotely; further functionality will continue to be added through mid-2015. Consumers expects to have installed about 400,000 smart meters throughout western Michigan by the end of 2014. Consumers also plans to install communication modules on gas meters in areas where Consumers provides both electricity and natural gas to customers.
CONSUMERS ELECTRIC UTILITY BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND UNCERTAINTIES
Balanced Energy Initiative: Consumers continues to experience increasing demand for electricity due to Michigans recovering economy and increased use of air conditioning, consumer electronics, and other electric devices, offset partially by the predicted effects of energy efficiency and conservation. In July 2012, customers set a new all-time peak demand record of 9,006 MW.
Consumers plans to mothball seven of its smaller coal-fueled units for a period of three years. In June 2013, MISO approved Consumers applications to delay the mothballing of the units by one year, to 2016. Consumers will continue to evaluate its options for the plants, which include:
· installing more environmental equipment on the units to reduce emissions further in order to meet new environmental standards and continue to operate the units;
· seeking a further extension of compliance deadlines for new environmental standards;
· converting the units to natural gas instead of coal;
· decommissioning the units; or
· a combination of these options, depending on customer needs and market conditions.
With the potential suspension of these plants operations and the potential tightening of the MISO capacity market, Consumers could experience a shortfall in generation capacity of up to 1,500 MW in 2016. In order to address future capacity requirements and growing electric demand in Michigan, Consumers updated its balanced energy initiative, a comprehensive energy resource plan designed to meet the short-term and long-term electricity needs of its customers through:
· energy efficiency;
· demand management;
· expanded use of renewable energy;
· development of new power plants;
· power or generating asset purchases to complement existing generating sources; and
· continued operation or upgrade of existing units.
In December 2012, Consumers announced plans to build a 700-MW gas-fueled electric generating plant at its Thetford complex in Genesee County, Michigan. In July 2013, Consumers received an air permit for the proposed plant from the MDEQ and, as allowed under the 2008 Energy Law, filed for approval of a certificate of necessity with the MPSC. Construction of the plant, at an estimated cost of $750 million, is contingent upon obtaining the certificate of necessity and environmental permits. Consumers expects that the plant would be operational in 2017.
While Consumers continues to move ahead with its plans to build a new gas-fueled electric generating plant, it also issued a solicitation in September 2013 seeking offers from owners of existing gas-fueled electric generating plants located in Michigans Lower Peninsula to sell their plants to Consumers. The purchase by Consumers of one or more existing plants could represent a cost-effective alternative to building a new plant.
Electric Rate Matters: Consumers has filed two applications with the MPSC to propose alternative methods to recover its investment in seven smaller coal-fueled units that Consumers plans to mothball in 2016 and in three smaller gas-fueled units whose operations Consumers mothballed in 2009.
Advanced Accounting Approval: In August 2013, Consumers filed an application requesting MPSC advanced approval to use standard utility plant retirement accounting in the event of early retirement of these ten units. Specifically, Consumers requested the MPSC to provide assurance that the full amount of the undepreciated investment, demolition costs, and cost of removal, including a return on the assets, would, upon their early retirement, be recovered through retail electric base rates.
Securitization of Qualified Costs: In September 2013, Consumers filed an application with the MPSC requesting approval to issue up to $454 million in securitization bonds through a newly formed subsidiary. Under Michigan law, electric utilities are permitted to use highly rated, low-cost securitization bonds to finance the recovery of qualified costs. The qualified costs that Consumers has requested approval to securitize are principally the remaining book value and projected demolition costs of the ten units described above. If the MPSC approves Consumers application and Consumers proceeds with this bond issuance, Consumers will then adjust its retail electric base rates to exclude the revenue requirement associated with these costs. Consumers estimates that employing this recovery mechanism in place of existing ratemaking treatment would provide initial annual cost savings to full-service customers of $24 million.
For additional details on rate matters, see Note 1, Regulatory Matters.
Renewable Energy Plan: Consumers renewable energy plan details how Consumers expects to meet REC and capacity standards prescribed by the 2008 Energy Law. This law requires Consumers to use RECs in an amount equal to at least ten percent of its electric sales volume (estimated to be 3.3 million RECs annually) in 2015 and each year thereafter. RECs represent proof that the associated electricity was generated from a renewable energy resource. Under its renewable energy plan, Consumers expects to meet its renewable energy requirement each year with a combination of newly generated RECs and previously generated RECs carried over from prior years.
The 2008 Energy Law also requires Consumers to obtain 500 MW of new capacity from renewable energy resources by the end of 2015, either through generation resources owned by Consumers or through agreements to purchase capacity from other parties. To meet its renewable capacity requirements, Consumers expects to add more than 500 MW of owned or contracted renewable capacity. Through September 2013, Consumers has contracted for the purchase of 302 MW of nameplate capacity from renewable energy suppliers and owns 100 MW of nameplate capacity at its recently constructed Lake Winds® Energy Park. The combination of the contracted and owned capacity represents 81 percent of the 2015 renewable capacity requirement. Consumers expects to meet the balance of the requirement through the completion of its Cross Winds® Energy Park, a 105-MW wind park in Tuscola County, Michigan, which is expected to begin operations in late 2014. Consumers has entered into construction and supply contracts as well as a contract to purchase wind turbine generators for the construction of the Cross Winds® Energy Park.
The extension of federal tax credits for wind projects for which construction begins prior to December 31, 2013 could reduce significantly the cost of meeting the renewable requirements of the 2008 Energy Law. As a result, Consumers has accelerated the construction of Cross Winds® Energy Park and began construction in October 2013. Consumers expects to qualify for $100 million to $120 million of federal production tax credits associated with the Cross Winds® Energy Park. These cost savings, which will be based on the wind projects production over its first ten years of operation, will be passed on to customers through a reduced renewable energy surcharge or through a reduction in PSCR costs.
Energy Optimization Plan: The 2008 Energy Law requires Consumers to achieve energy savings equivalent to annual sales reduction targets through at least 2015. The targets increase annually, with the goal of achieving a six percent reduction in customers electricity use and a four percent reduction in customers natural gas use by December 31, 2015. Under its energy optimization plan, Consumers
provides its customers with incentives to reduce usage by offering energy audits, rebates and discounts on purchases of highly efficient appliances, and other incentives and programs. Consumers estimates that, through its gas and electric energy optimization programs, its customers realized $184 million in energy savings during 2012.
Electric Customer Deliveries and Revenue: Consumers electric customer deliveries are largely dependent on Michigans economy, which has suffered from economic and financial instability in the automotive and real estate sectors in recent years.
Consumers expects weather-adjusted electric deliveries to decrease in 2013 by three percent compared with 2012. Consumers outlook for 2013 includes reduced deliveries to its largest customer, which produces energy-related and computer components. Consumers has a long-term contract with this customer to provide electricity at a discounted rate for economic development purposes. Excluding this customer, Consumers expects weather-adjusted electric deliveries in 2013 to remain stable compared with 2012. This outlook reflects Consumers belief that economic conditions in Michigan are improving.
Over the next five years, Consumers expects average electric delivery growth of about 0.5 to 1.0 percent annually. This increase reflects growth in electric demand, offset partially by the predicted effects of energy efficiency programs and appliance efficiency standards. Actual delivery levels will depend on:
· energy conservation measures and results of energy efficiency programs;
· fluctuations in weather; and
· Michigan economic conditions, including utilization, expansion, or contraction of manufacturing facilities, population trends, and housing activity.
Electric ROA: A Michigan statute enacted in 2000 allows Consumers electric customers to buy electric generation service from Consumers or from an alternative electric supplier. The 2008 Energy Law revised the statute by limiting alternative electric supply to ten percent of Consumers weather-adjusted retail sales of the preceding calendar year. At September 30, 2013, electric deliveries under the ROA program were at the ten percent limit and alternative electric suppliers were providing 788 MW of generation service to ROA customers. Of Consumers 1.8 million electric customers, 311 customers, or 0.02 percent, purchased electric generation service under the ROA program. Consumers expects 2013 electric deliveries under the ROA program to be at a similar level to 2012.
In February 2013, a bill was introduced to the Michigan Senate that, if enacted, would revise the 2008 Energy Law and allow customers on the ROA program waiting list to switch their service to an alternative electric supplier. Presently, the proportion of Consumers electric deliveries under the ROA program and on the ROA waiting list is 25 percent. The bill also proposes an increase in the cap of six percentage points per year from 2014 through 2016. Consumers is unable to predict the outcome of this legislative proposal. The Michigan legislature also has conducted hearings on the subject of energy competition. If a proposal to deregulate electric generation in Michigan were enacted, it could have a material adverse effect on Consumers financial results and operations.
Electric Transmission: In 2011, FERC issued an order in a rulemaking proceeding concerning regional electric transmission planning and cost allocations. Consumers and several other electric utilities filed a joint petition seeking clarification/rehearing of FERCs order and opposing the allocation methodology. In 2012, following FERCs denial of their requests for clarification/rehearing, Consumers and several other electric utilities filed a petition for review of FERCs order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In May 2013, Consumers, along with other electric utilities, filed briefs in this matter.
In a related matter, in 2010, MISO filed and FERC approved a tariff revision proposing a cost allocation methodology for a new category of transmission projects. Under this tariff revision, the cost of these new transmission projects will be spread proportionally across the MISO energy market. Consumers believes
that Michigan customers will bear additional costs under MISOs tariff without receiving comparable benefits from these projects. In 2011, Consumers, along with the Michigan Attorney General, ABATE, DTE Electric, and other parties, filed a petition for review of FERCs order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit following FERCs denial of their request for rehearing opposing the allocation methodology in the MISO tariff revision. In June 2013, the Court of Appeals issued an opinion largely affirming FERCs orders regarding the cost allocation methodology. In October 2013, the Michigan Attorney General filed, and Consumers and other parties joined, a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review of the Court of Appeals opinion. Regardless of the final outcome of these appeals, Consumers expects to continue to recover transmission expenses, including those associated with the MISO tariff revision, through the PSCR process.
In 2012, ReliabilityFirst Corporation informed Consumers that Consumers may not be properly registered to meet certain NERC electric reliability standards. Consumers has assessed its registration status, taking into consideration FERCs December 2012 order on the definition of a bulk electric system, and in August notified ReliabilityFirst that it is preparing to change its registration. In light of this order, Consumers is reviewing the classification of its electric distribution assets under FERCs modified definition of the bulk electric system. Consumers believes that it would recover any incremental costs that it might incur in connection with the resolution of any issues in this area.
Governors Energy Initiative: Michigans governor has instituted a process pursuant to which a series of reports are to be completed addressing energy efficiency, renewable energy, the electricity market and retail open access, and other subjects. The process is designed to help the governor and other lawmakers determine the states next steps regarding energy policies. Following a series of public hearings, the MPSC and Michigans Energy Office Director released four draft reports summarizing the information gathered. Final reports are expected in November 2013 and the governor expects to make policy recommendations in December 2013. Consumers has participated actively in this process but cannot predict its outcome.
Electric Environmental Estimates: Consumers operations are subject to various state and federal environmental laws and regulations. Consumers estimates that it will incur expenditures of $1.0 billion from 2013 through 2017 to continue to comply with the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and numerous state and federal environmental regulations. Consumers expects to recover these costs in customer rates, but cannot guarantee this result. Consumers primary environmental compliance focus includes, but is not limited to, the following matters:
Air Quality: In 2011, the EPA released CSAPR, a final replacement rule for CAIR, which requires Michigan and 27 other states to improve air quality by reducing power plant emissions that, according to EPA computer models, contribute to ground-level ozone and fine particle pollution in other downwind states. In 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit voided CSAPR and held that CAIR would remain in place until the EPA promulgated a new rule. After a request by the EPA for a rehearing was denied, the EPA and other parties sought an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which was granted in June 2013. A decision by the Supreme Court is not expected until 2014.
In 2012, the EPA published its final MACT emission standards for electric generating units, based on Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, calling the final rule MATS. Under MATS, all of Consumers existing coal-fueled electric generating units are required to add additional controls for hazardous air pollutants. Existing units, unless granted extensions, must meet the standards by mid-April 2015. Consumers has received from the MDEQ a one-year extension for MATS and the Michigan Mercury Rule for ten of its coal-fueled units, allowing them to run as presently configured until April 2016. Consumers does not expect that its other coal-fueled units will require an extension.
Presently, Consumers strategy to comply with air quality regulations, including CAIR and MATS, involves the installation of emission control equipment at some facilities and the suspension of operations at others; however, Consumers continues to evaluate these rules in conjunction with other EPA rulemakings, litigation, and congressional action. This evaluation could result in:
· changes in environmental compliance costs related to Consumers coal-fueled power plants;
· a change in the fuel mix at coal-fueled and oil-fueled power plants;
· changes in how certain plants are used; and
· the retirement, mothballing, or repowering with an alternative fuel of some of Consumers generating units.
The MDEQ renewed and issued the Renewable Operating Permit for the B.C. Cobb plant in August 2011 after an extensive review and a public comment period. In October 2011, the Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a petition with the EPA to object to the MDEQs issuance of the state Renewable Operating Permit, alleging that the facility is not in compliance with certain provisions of the Clean Air Act, including NSR and Title V. Consumers responded to these allegations in December 2011. The EPA could either deny the petition outright or grant the petition and remand the matter to the MDEQ for further action. The Sierra Club or the Natural Resources Defense Council could also file suit in federal district court seeking EPA action on the petition. Consumers believes these claims are baseless, but is unable to predict the outcome of this petition.
Fine Particulate Matter: In December 2012, the EPA finalized a rule that strengthens the air quality standard for fine particulate matter. Consumers expects short-term impacts to be limited, but this new standard could give rise to air quality concerns in states downwind of Michigan and put pressure on Michigan and other Midwestern states to reduce emissions further. Given its present strategy for CAIR and MATS compliance, however, Consumers will already be achieving significant reductions in emissions that contribute to the formation of fine particulate matter.
Greenhouse Gases: In the recent past, there have been numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives at the state, regional, and national levels that involve the regulation of greenhouse gases. Consumers continues to monitor and comment on these initiatives and to follow litigation involving greenhouse gases. Consumers believes Congress may eventually pass greenhouse gas legislation, but is unable to predict the form and timing of any final legislation.
In September 2013, the EPA issued proposed rules pursuant to Section 111 of the Clean Air Act to limit new gas-fueled electric generating units to 1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour and new coal-fueled electric generating units to 1,100 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt-hour. New coal-fueled units would not be able to meet this limit without installing carbon dioxide control equipment using such methods as carbon capture and sequestration. The proposed rules for new sources are expected to be finalized in 2014. President Obama has also directed the EPA to address existing, modified, and reconstructed fossil-fuel-fired steam electric generating units with proposed standards, regulations, or guidelines to be completed by June 1, 2014, and final standards, regulations, or guidelines to be completed by June 1, 2015. Subsequent state implementation plans are due by June 30, 2016. Consumers believes that its balanced energy initiative, its present carbon reduction target, and its emphasis on supply diversity will position it favorably to deal with the impact of carbon regulation, but cannot predict the nature or outcome of these proposals. Consumers will continue to monitor regulatory activity regarding greenhouse gas emissions standards that may affect electric generating units.
Litigation, as well as federal laws, EPA regulations regarding greenhouse gases, or similar treaties, state laws, or rules, if enacted or ratified, could require Consumers to replace equipment, install additional emission control equipment, purchase emission allowances, curtail operations, arrange for alternative sources of supply, or take other steps to manage or lower the emission of greenhouse gases. Although associated capital or operating costs relating to greenhouse gas regulation or legislation could be material
and cost recovery cannot be assured, Consumers expects to recover these costs and capital expenditures in rates consistent with the recovery of other reasonable costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations.
CCRs: In 2010, the EPA proposed rules regulating CCRs, such as coal ash, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Recent communications from the EPA stress the need to coordinate CCR rulemaking guidelines for steam electric generating plants under the Clean Water Act. A final CCR rule could be issued in 2014. Michigan already regulates CCRs as low-hazard industrial waste. The EPA proposed a range of alternatives for regulating CCRs, including regulation as either a non-hazardous waste or a hazardous waste. If coal ash were regulated as a hazardous waste, Consumers would likely cease the beneficial reuse of this product, which would result in a significant increase in the amount of coal ash requiring costly disposal. Additionally, if the cost of upgrading existing coal ash disposal areas to meet hazardous waste landfill standards were to become economically prohibitive, existing coal ash disposal areas could close, requiring Consumers to find costly alternative arrangements for disposal. Consumers is unable to predict the impacts from this wide range of possible outcomes, but significant expenditures are likely.
Water: In 2011, the EPA issued a proposed rule to regulate existing electric generating plant cooling water intake systems under Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act aimed at reducing alleged harmful impacts on fish and shellfish. Consumers continues to evaluate this proposed rule and its potential impacts on Consumers electric generating plants. A final rule is expected in November 2013. The EPA also proposed new regulations in June 2013 that may require physical and/or chemical treatment facilities for wastewater discharges from electric generating plants. A final rule is expected in 2014.
PCBs: In 2010, the EPA issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, indicating that it is considering a variety of regulatory actions with respect to PCBs. One approach would aim to phase out equipment containing PCBs by 2025. Another approach would eliminate an exemption for small equipment containing PCBs. To comply with any such regulatory actions, Consumers could incur substantial costs associated with existing electrical equipment potentially containing PCBs. A proposed rule is expected by mid-2014.
Other electric environmental matters could have a major impact on Consumers outlook. For additional details on other electric environmental matters, see Note 2, Contingencies and Commitments Consumers Electric Utility Contingencies Electric Environmental Matters.
CONSUMERS GAS UTILITY BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND UNCERTAINTIES
Gas Rate Case: In February 2013, Consumers filed an application with the MPSC seeking an annual rate increase of $49 million, based on a 10.5 percent authorized return on equity. The filing requested authority to recover new investments in customer reliability, deliverability, safety, and system enhancements, and sought approval of several rate adjustment mechanisms. Subsequent to this filing, Consumers projection of non-fuel costs decreased. As a result, in June 2013, Consumers filed a petition with the MPSC to close the docket or, alternatively, to suspend and extend indefinitely the schedule in this case. The MPSC approved Consumers petition to suspend and extend indefinitely the schedule.
For additional details on rate matters, see Note 1, Regulatory Matters.
Gas Deliveries: Consumers expects weather-adjusted gas deliveries in 2013 to grow by about three percent compared with 2012. Over the next five years, Consumers expects average gas deliveries to remain stable. This outlook reflects modest growth in gas demand offset by the predicted effects of energy efficiency and conservation. Actual delivery levels from year to year may vary due to:
· fluctuations in weather;
· use by power producers;
· availability and development of renewable energy sources;
· changes in gas prices;
· Michigan economic conditions, including population trends and housing activity;
· the price of competing energy sources or fuels; and
· energy efficiency and conservation impacts.
Gas Transmission: In May 2013, the MPSC approved Consumers application to build a 24-mile, 36-inch natural gas pipeline in St. Joseph and Branch Counties, Michigan. Consumers expects to spend about $120 million for this project. Construction of the pipeline is contingent upon obtaining environmental permits. Consumers expects the pipeline to be operational by the end of 2014.
Gas Transportation: In July 2012, Trunkline filed a proposal with FERC to cease transporting natural gas through one of its two main transmission pipelines serving Michigan. More than 60 percent of the natural gas supplied to Consumers gas customers is delivered by Trunklines two main transmission pipelines. In August 2012, Consumers filed a motion with FERC to protest against the proposed abandonment on the grounds that it would negatively impact customers and that it could hamper the development of gas-fueled electric generation in Michigan. Michigans governor, the MPSC, and various other parties have also filed protests with FERC. If Trunklines proposal is granted, the abandonment could result in higher gas prices and reduced availability for Michigan gas customers.
Gas Pipeline Safety: In 2012, President Obama signed the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011. The law reauthorizes existing federal pipeline safety programs of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration through 2015 and it contains provisions mandating:
· an increase in the maximum fine for safety violations to $2 million;
· an increase in the number of pipeline inspectors;
· a study regarding application of integrity management requirements outside of high consequence areas;
· a survey regarding existing plans for safe management and replacement of cast iron pipelines;
· prescribed notification and on-site incident response times;
· installation of automatic or remotely controlled shut-off valves on new or replaced pipelines where feasible;
· historical design and construction documentation to verify maximum allowable operating pressures; and
· establishment of new regulations for testing (pressure tests or equivalent methods) of previously untested pipelines in high-consequence areas.
Consumers continues to comply with laws and regulations governing natural gas pipeline safety. These laws and regulations could cause Consumers to incur significant additional costs related to its natural gas pipeline safety programs. Consumers expects that it would be able to recover the costs in rates, consistent with the recovery of other reasonable costs of complying with laws and regulations.
MPSC Investigations: In August 2013, the MPSC and the Michigan Attorney General concluded investigations into two natural gas explosions that occurred in Consumers gas service territory, in Wayne, Michigan and Royal Oak, Michigan. Following these investigations, in October 2013 Consumers established a $900,000 fund for customers displaced by gas incidents. Consumers has also committed to pay $50,000 to fund a safety study and $50,000 to fund natural gas safety training. In addition, Consumers paid $430,000 in fines to the MPSC.
Gas Environmental Estimates: Consumers expects to incur response activity costs at a number of sites, including 23 former MGP sites. For additional details, see Note 2, Contingencies and Commitments Consumers Gas Utility Contingencies Gas Environmental Matters.
ENTERPRISES OUTLOOK AND UNCERTAINTIES
The primary focus with respect to CMS Energys remaining non-utility businesses is to optimize cash flow and maximize the value of their assets.
Trends, uncertainties, and other matters that could have a material impact on CMS Energys consolidated income, cash flows, or financial position include:
· indemnity and environmental remediation obligations at Bay Harbor;
· obligations related to a tax claim from the government of Equatorial Guinea;
· the outcome of certain legal proceedings;
· impacts of declines in electricity prices on the profitability of the enterprises segments generating units;
· representations, warranties, and indemnities provided by CMS Energy or its subsidiaries in connection with previous sales of assets;
· changes in commodity prices and interest rates on certain derivative contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting and must be marked to market through earnings;
· changes in various environmental laws, regulations, principles, or practices, or in their interpretation; and
· economic conditions in Michigan, including population trends and housing activity.
For additional details regarding the enterprises segments uncertainties, see Note 2, Contingencies and Commitments.
OTHER OUTLOOK AND UNCERTAINTIES
EnerBank: EnerBank, a wholly owned subsidiary of CMS Capital, is a Utah state-chartered, FDIC-insured industrial bank providing unsecured home improvement loans. EnerBank represented two percent of CMS Energys net assets at September 30, 2013, and four percent of CMS Energys net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The carrying value of EnerBanks loan portfolio was $597 million at September 30, 2013. Its loan portfolio was funded primarily by deposit liabilities of $575 million. The twelve-month rolling average default rate on loans held by EnerBank has remained stable at 0.7 percent at September 30, 2013. CMS Energy is required both by law and by contract to provide financial support, including infusing additional capital, to ensure that EnerBank satisfies mandated capital requirements and has sufficient liquidity to operate. With its self-funding plan, EnerBank has exceeded these requirements historically and exceeded them as of September 30, 2013.
Litigation: CMS Energy, Consumers, and certain of their subsidiaries are named as parties in various litigation matters, as well as in administrative proceedings before various courts and governmental agencies, arising in the ordinary course of business. For additional details regarding these and other legal matters, see Note 1, Regulatory Matters and Note 2, Contingencies and Commitments.
Final Tax Regulations: In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Treasury Department released final regulations on the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property. These regulations apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. CMS Energy and Consumers are evaluating the effects of the regulations, but do not believe that they will have a significant impact on their consolidated financial statements.
There are no new accounting standards issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on CMS Energys or Consumers consolidated financial statements.
