The words 'will', 'expects', 'plans', 'estimated', 'outlook' and 'seeks' (and grammatical variations of such terms) and similar expressions are often intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Specific forward-looking statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: the Company's future plans and the expected outcomes thereof; the Company's approach to future decision-making; expectations regarding improved customer experiences, operational efficiencies and constructive regulatory outcomes; investor returns; and the Company's forward-looking outlook, including expectations regarding Earned ROE, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, Adjusted Net Earnings per share, capital expenditures, equity issuances and credit ratings (collectively, the 'Outlook'). These statements are based on factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making a forecast or projection, including assumptions based on historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. Since forward-looking statements relate to future events and conditions, by their very nature they require making assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties. AQN cautions that although it is believed that the assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances, these risks and uncertainties give rise to the possibility that actual results may differ materially from the expectations set out in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements contained herein are provided for the purposes of assisting in understanding the Company and its business, operations, risks, financial performance, financial position and cash flows as at and for the periods indicated and to present information about management's current expectations and plans relating to the future and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Material risk factors and assumptions include those set out in AQN's annual information form and annual management discussion & analysis, each for the year ended December 31, 2024, and management discussion & analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (the 'Interim MD&A'), each of which is or will be available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR. The Outlook is also based on the following additional assumptions: Article content resolution of customer billing matters, regulatory investigations and rate decisions in line with expectations, including absence of material write downs of assets; normalized weather patterns in geographical areas in which the Company operates; insurance coverage remains effective and sufficient; capital projects being completed on time, substantially in line with budgeted costs, and without adverse tariff impacts; timely receipt of required regulatory approvals and permits; no material disruptions to supply chains or labour availability affecting pricing, operations or project execution; realization of company-wide efficiency initiatives (focused in part on procurement, support and billing, organizational streamlining, and technology enablement) in line with expectations; no significant changes in applicable political or macroeconomic environments or capital markets, including with respect to legislation, interest rates or inflation; Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar exchange rate and Chilean peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate in line with expectations; receipt of anticipated proceeds under the earn out agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the Company's renewable energy business in January 2025; a mid-to-low twenties percentage effective tax rate in 2026 and 2027; renewable energy production consistent with long-term averages and realized pricing in line with expectations; and absence of significant events leading to adverse litigation outcomes, fines, penalties, and inverse condemnation rulings. Article content Given these assumptions and risks, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of their dates. Other than as specifically required by law, AQN undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent or otherwise. Article content Non-GAAP Measures Article content AQN uses a number of financial measures to assess the performance of its business lines. Some measures are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('U.S. GAAP'), while other measures do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in Canadian National Instrument 52-112 – Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures Disclosure. AQN's method of calculating these measures may differ from methods used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Article content The term 'Adjusted Net Earnings' which is used in this news release, is a non-GAAP financial measure. An explanation of 'Adjusted Net Earnings' can be found in the section titled 'Caution Concerning Non-GAAP Measures' in the Interim MD&A, which section is incorporated by reference into this news release. AQN's Interim MD&A is available on SEDAR+ at and EDGAR at In addition, 'Adjusted Net Earnings' is presented in this news release on a per common share basis. Adjusted Net Earnings per common share is a non-GAAP ratio and is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Article content The Company does not provide reconciliations for forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as the Company is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various events that have not yet occurred, are out of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking U.S. GAAP financial measure. For these same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures. Article content The term 'Earned return on equity' (or 'Earned ROE') is used in this news release. Earned ROE is a measure specific to rate-regulated utilities that is not intended to represent any financial measure as defined by U.S. GAAP. It represents earnings at the Company's rate-regulated utilities as a percentage of the product of their average rate base for the period and the equity component of their authorized capital structure. The calculation of this measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

Strawberry Moon 2025: June's full moon to light up the sky this month- know date, time, and the science behind the name

Source: Time and Date As summer unfolds, the night skies of the Northern Hemisphere are poised to showcase one of the year's most captivating celestial events—the full Strawberry Moon. Far more than a poetic name, it reflects a rare blend of seasonal timing, orbital mechanics, and cultural tradition. Appearing in mid-June, this full moon is not only the last of spring but also the lowest-hanging of the year. Its golden glow and low trajectory create a visually striking phenomenon, while its historical significance connects us to ancient rhythms of nature and harvest. For skywatchers, the Strawberry Moon offers both beauty and meaning. June's full moon is also known as the 'Strawberry Moon' The "Strawberry Moon" is named after Native American Indian tribes, specifically the Algonquin, who based seasonal events around the lunar cycle. Wild strawberries start to ripen in June over much of the Northern Hemisphere, and the sighting of this full moon indicated harvesting time. Other cultures have also provided this moon with descriptive names drawn from their own observations of nature and agricultural cycles. The June moon has been called the Berries Ripen Moon, Green Corn Moon, Hot Moon, and Blooming Moon by Native Americans each for a different aspect of the season's abundance. In English folklore, it was called the Flower Moon, Planting Moon, or Mead Moon, whereas Celtic cultures provided poetic names like the Horse Moon, Dyan Moon, and Rose Moon. They are not random. They signify the ancient history of human interaction with the Earth's natural cycles, which is how individuals throughout time and history have utilized the sky to monitor the cycle of seasons and life. Strawberry Moon 2025: Date and time Although the moon will technically be at full phase at 3:45 am EDT on Wednesday, June 11 , the best time to view it is actually going to be last night—Tuesday, June 10. As the sun sets, the full moon will rise softly over the eastern horizon, providing a lovely and peaceful sight for those who gaze up. To the show, add the light of Antares, a white-hot red supergiant star in the constellation Scorpius. Some 550 light-years from Earth, Antares glows above and to the right of the rising moon. The contrast between the soft golden color of the moon and the red hot color of Antares presents a striking cosmic picture. Science behind the 'Strawberry Moon's low rise' The full moon this month is the lowest full moon of 2025. As the concluding full moon for spring, the Strawberry Moon tends to look especially low in the northern horizon when observed from north of the equator. This is not an optical illusion but the very consequence of astronomical mechanics. A full moon always happens when the moon is exactly opposite the sun. As the summer solstice approaches, which falls this year on June 20 evening in most parts of the world, the sun is at its highest position in the sky. Since the moon and sun lie on opposite sides of Earth at full moon, the full moon then occupies the lowest arc across the sky. Therefore, the June full moon rises in the southeastern part of the sky at sunset, rides low along the southern horizon through the night, and ultimately sets in the southwest at sunrise. This low altitude produces a stunning visual effect. As the moon rides close to the horizon, atmospheric conditions can make it appear larger and imbue it with a warm orange or golden color. This effect, referred to as the moon illusion, lends the Strawberry Moon an almost theatrical quality. How Earth's journey around the sun affects the full moon Besides its low arc, the full moon this month is also one of the sunniest throughout the whole year. The distance is attributed to the elliptical path that Earth travels around the sun. Earth does not orbit in a complete circle but in a faint oval form, so there are periods where Earth is nearer to the sun (perihelion) and others where it is further away (aphelion). Aphelion falls on July 3 this year, and since a full moon lies directly opposite the sun, June's full moon is also at its farthest position from our star. The moon will be about 94,600 miles (152,200 kilometers) away from the sun at this time. Although it will not make much of a visual impact to the naked eye, it is a significant factor that highlights the special geometry of this full moon. What does Strawberry Moon symbolises The Strawberry Moon is not merely a full moon but an alignment of astronomy, atmosphere, and tradition. With its low trajectory, significant distance from the sun, and deep cultural meaning, this moon offers a unique viewing experience for anyone willing to look up and take it in. Whether you're in a bustling city or a quiet countryside, the moon's slow rise at dusk on June 10 promises to be a moment of beauty and reflection, reminding us of the wonder embedded in the natural world. So when darkness approaches and the southeastern horizon starts to shine, take a moment to stop. Allow the low-hanging Strawberry Moon to bond you with hundreds of years' worth of sky gazers who once stood awestruck beneath the same moonlight. Strawberry Moon 2025: Related FAQs What is the Strawberry Moon? The Strawberry Moon is the traditional name for June's full moon, derived from Native American tribes like the Algonquin. It marked the time for gathering ripening wild strawberries and reflects the deep relationship between lunar cycles and seasonal harvests. When can I see the Strawberry Moon in 2025? The moon will reach full phase at 3:45 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 11. However, the best time to view it will be the evening of Tuesday, June 10, just after sunset, when it rises in the southeastern sky. Why is it called the lowest full moon of the year? Because it appears opposite the sun near the summer solstice—when the sun is at its highest—the June full moon travels a very low path across the sky, making it the lowest full moon of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Does the Strawberry Moon actually look red or pink? Not always. The name refers to seasonal timing, not color. However, due to its low position near the horizon, the moon can appear golden or slightly orange because of atmospheric scattering—an effect known as the 'moon illusion.' Can I see any other celestial features during the Strawberry Moon? Yes! As the moon rises, look to its upper right to spot Antares, a red supergiant star in the constellation Scorpius. Its red hue and proximity to the moon create a striking celestial pairing. Also Read | NASA warns! 120-foot asteroid 2025 KX8 to make close approach to Earth on June 4; here's what to expect

June full moon 2025: When to see it in Ohio, why it's called the strawberry moon

Between northern lights being visible on June 1, perfect viewing conditions to see the Milky Way and a brilliant but short-lived "new star" nova explosion on the way, it's easy to forget about the full moon. Summer is almost here, and the warm nights make a great season for seeing celestial events, including the June full moon, the strawberry moon. The strawberry moon, June's full moon, will reach peak illumination on Wednesday, June 11, at 3:44 a.m. ET, according to Clear skies will ensure optimal viewing, so check the weather forecast and plan accordingly. As of June 2, the moon is currently in its waxing crescent phase at 42% illumination, according to The moon's phases in June, per Griffith Observatory, are: First quarter: June 2 Full moon: June 11 Last quarter: June 18 New moon: June 25 You might assume the June full moon is called the strawberry moon because it may take on a pinkish hue, but that's not the case. The nickname strawberry moon has been attributed to Algonquin peoples, a Native American tribe, according to Old Farmer's Almanac. The June full moon is called the strawberry moon to mark the ripening of June-bearing strawberries that are ready to be harvested and eaten. July's full moon, the buck moon, will peak on July 10, 2025, per Griffith Observatory. This article originally appeared on Akron Beacon Journal: When and how to see June's full moon in Ohio
