Comparison of how NPV costs, first-year costs, three-year forward looking earnings, and new equity ratios change depending on how the EIR financing is structured.

The colors represent the outcome for ratepayers (NPV Costs and First-Year Costs) and the utility (Three-Year Forward Looking Earnings and New Equity Ratio). Green represents the best outcome, followed by yellow, then orange, with red representing the worst outcome from the respective point of view (ratepayers benefit from lower costs; utilities benefit from higher earnings and equity ratios).
