Section Puc 2203.02 - Request for Usage Information from Utilities
(a) A committee may request aggregated usage information for all electric customers located within the applicable municipality or county from each utility serving such customers by making an electronic mail or written request for such data to each such utility with a copy provided to the commission consistent with the requirements of Puc 202.06 and to the office of the consumer advocate and the department of energy.
(b) Within 30 calendar days following the date of a request made pursuant to (a) above, each utility shall provide the following load information in machine-readable format for the customers it serves in the municipality or county:
(1) The most recent 24 months of monthly usage data if available, or 12 months otherwise, for each customer rate class, aggregated and sorted by whether the customers were taking competitive electric power service or utility default service for each such month;
(2) Counts of customers in each rate class for each month, sorted by whether the customers were taking competitive electric power service or utility default service for each such month;
(3) Current counts of customers that participate in net energy metering in each rate class, sorted by whether the customers are taking competitive electric power service or utility default service, to the extent such data is readily available;
(4) Current counts of residential customers that participate in the electric assistance program, sorted by whether the customers were taking competitive electric power service or utility default service for each such month;
(5) Until such time as the utility offers a commission approved purchase of receivables program pursuant to RSA 53-E:9, revenues billed, actual receipts, and past due accounts receivable for utility default service for each rate class or by small customer group and large customer group for each of the most recent 12 months available, if readily available, and if not, then the utility shall provide such information on a system-wide basis for a recent 12-month period; and
(c) Each customer rate class shall mean, as a minimum, each rate class or group of rate classes for which the utility publicly provides class average load shapes.
(d) All customer usage data provided by the utility shall include consumption power delivered to customers and exports to the grid from customer generatorsin kWh for each reported interval.
(e) No individual customer data, as defined in RSA 363:37, I, shall be provided to a committee in response to a request made pursuant to (a) above.
(f) With respect to the monthly usage data required to be provided pursuant to (b)(1) above and as determined over the most recent 12-month period:
(1) If there are fewer than 4 distinct customers or any one customer comprises 50% or more of the total usage in any one non-residential customer rate class reporting group, such usage data shall be combined with that of the most similar rate class or classes and shall be reported as the combined rate classes, provided that the overall reporting group contains at least 4 distinct customers and no one customer comprises 50 percent or more of the total usage for the reporting group;
(2) If there are fewer than 10 distinct customers in any one residential customer rate class reporting group, such load data shall be combined with the usage of the most similar rate class or classes and shall be reported as the combined rate classes, provided that the overall reporting group contains at least 10 distinct customers;
(3) If there are fewer than 4 distinct non-residential customers or fewer than 10 distinct residential customers, such usage data shall be reported together without identifying the type of customer, provided that the overall group contains at least 10 distinct customers and no one customer constitutes more than 25% of the total usage over the most recent 12- month period; and
(4) If the criteria in subparagraph (3) above are not met and there are at least 4 distinct customers, the total annual usage of all such customers, rather than monthly, shall be provided for the most recent 12-month period available without identifying the number of such customers, other than "less than 10 customers," and if not, than no usage or customer counts shall be provided, other than "less than 4 customers."
(g) A committee may request to have the data provided by the utility updated to the most recent month available, but not more frequently than once every 6 months after the initial request.
