Section 285.5130 - Schedule E-8: Bill Frequency Data - Electric and Gas UtilitiesEach electric and gas utility with $20 million or more in total jurisdictional annual revenue shall provide the following bill frequency data for each of the utility's rate classes for the historical year as defined in 83 Ill. Adm. Code 287.100(a) (If the historical year bill frequency data does not accurately reflect test year bill frequency data for an individual rate class, then the utility shall provide test year bill frequency data for that class under proposed rate classes.):
