Responses to Commission’s First Set of Data Requests
Issued October 8, 2014
Supplemental
PUC 2014-13
Request:
Please provide an aging of accounts receivable, including customer counts for each gas and
electric customer class.
Response:
Please see Attachment PUC 2014-13 Supp., which provides an aging of accounts receivable,
including customer counts, broken down by the residential rate classes and the non-residential
customer class.
The information reflected in Attachment PUC 2014-13 Supp. reflects only those accounts having
a balance due at October 31, 2014. Therefore, any account that has a zero balance is not
reflected in the customer count shown.
