Northwest Natural NWN Unrecorded unconditional purchase obligation, purchases

Under the purchase agreement, Ohio Renewables and the subsidiary of EDL executed agreements for Ohio Renewables to purchase up to an annual specified amount of RNG produced by the EDL facilities over a 20-year period at a contractually specified price. In December 2025, Ohio Renewables entered into an agreement to purchase up to an annual specified amount of RNG produced by the EDL facilities from a separate investment-grade counterparty over an 11-year period at a contractually specified price. Purchase volumes are variable based on production, and purchases may not exceed contracted amounts. We currently estimate the amount of RNG purchases from both facilities based on prices and quantities specified in the agreements to be as follows: approximately $31.4 million in 2027, $31.6 million in 2028, $30.8 million in 2029, $31.4 million in 2030 and $599.3 million thereafter. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, purchases totaled $4.1 million, for total expected purchases of $20.9 million in 2026.
