Revenue & Sales Performance

Good growth

Long-term sales growth guidance through 2030 is projected at 5% to 7%, driven by a diverse customer base and strong additions, particularly from extra high load factor customers.
First quarter 2026 showed weather-normalized sales growth of 9.4%, with commercial & industrial growth at 14.6% and residential growth at 1.8%.
Customer growth was strong at 2.2%, near the high end of annual guidance.
Despite a one-time adjustment last year, current trends show sustained growth without changing the annual sales growth guidance of 4% to 6% for 2026.
There is a large backlog in the subscription queue (~20 gigawatts uncommitted) indicating potential future incremental load growth as contracts move to commitment.

Initial subscription offering sized at 1 to 1.2 gigawatts reflects available generation and transmission capacity, primarily from Desert Sun and associated infrastructure.
