FORECASTS USING ALTERNATIVE SECTOR DEFINITIONS

Utilities required to provide forecasts by category of consumption under part 7610.0310 , item A, may request in writing that the department accept alternative definitions for one or more of the categories defined in part 7610.0310 , item A. A utility must provide the alternative definition or definitions in writing. This must be filed with each subsequent forecast following approval by the department. If the department concludes that a previously accepted alternative definition is no longer acceptable, the department must inform the utility in writing at least six months before the reporting date for the next annual forecast.
