This number can vary year-to-year In late 2018, a new billing system was implemented. The prior system counted customers using a different method of aggregating multiple-meter accounts, resulting in increased customer counts after the software implementation. In 2022 and 2023, billing began at the account-level versus the meter-level, providing a more consistent customer count and smoothing out the graph. In mid-2024 fiscal year, the new and current rate structure was implemented. This resulted in a number of customers being reclassified to an alternative rate that was more appropriate for their electric usage. Due to the reclassifications, the customers were rebilled, which may slightly inflate the customer counts for fiscal year 2024. Fiscal year 2025 will be the first full year on the rate structure implemented mid-2023. 2025 graphs should show a normalized trend, without the fluctuations of changes in billing systems, rate structures, and customer reclassifications. 8 Page 23 of 23
