Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The $48B 10-year capex visibility provides long-term cash-flow clarity and growth optionality, which can support multiple expansion if investors view execution and rate approvals as manageable. However, near-term impact is limited since the release is a strategic white paper rather than new earnings or regulatory approvals; similar past utility capex disclosures have driven gradual upside rather than immediate moves.
