Rule 515-7-2-.08 - Monthly and Quarterly Informational Filing Requirements

(1) The Utility shall file monthly with the Commission information that demonstrates whether its actual monthly Purchased Gas Costs were incurred in accordance with a Gas Supply Plan which had become effective in accordance with the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 46-226.5. This monthly report to the Commission will show these data for the most recent month with not more than a three month lag, each individual previous month of the Recovery Year, and year-to-date totals. The format of such filings will be as set forth in Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the Appendix to this Rule, or in a similar format if it contains substantially the same information. Purchased Gas Costs will be documented by reporting monthly rates and prices for supplies and services purchased, and by reporting monthly billing units and gas supplies volumes. (Rates/prices applied to billing units/volumes should equal monthly costs.)

(2) Each Utility shall also file monthly with the Commission the most current data available showing over-recoveries or under-recoveries of actual Purchased Gas Costs resulting nol application of its Purchased Gas Adjustment Rate. Such data will be reported for the current month, for each individual previous month of the Recovery Year, and year-to-date (see Table 6 in the Appendix to this Rule).

(3) Whenever the Utility enters into a new firm contract, or renews, cancels or materially amends an existing contract to purchase gas supply, transportation or underground storage, or any other service authorized in its Gas Supply Plan, it shall notify the Commission by an informational filing within 30 days of the change to the contract's status.

(4) The Utility shall include in its Supply Plan monthly projections between the conclusion of the twelve month actual historical period and the Recovery Year. These interim data will be provided in a similar format to the monthly reconciliation filings, comparing actual volumes, revenues and Purchased Gas Costs with projections (see Tables 1-5 in the Appendix to lids Rule). These projected data will assist in the determination of the final under-recovery (or over-recovery) of Purchased Gas Costs that will be allowed in the Adjustment Factors for the upcoming Recovery Year.
