Statistics of publicly owned electric utilities in the United States, 1976

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6352005
This publication, issued annually since 1946, presents financial and operating information about publicly owned electric utilities operating in the United States. The statistics are compiled from annual reports that utilities file with the Energy Information Administration. Because of inconsistencies and variations in the number of municipals filing reports, there were distortions in comparing financial and operating data from year-to-year. Therefore, a new series of composite tables have been prepared showing major municipal electric utilities who have filed annual reports consistantly and whose electric operating revenues equaled or exceeded $5,000,000 annually during 1976. Data are available for the years 1974 through 1976. Also, composite tables are included for 79 Federal projects reporting in 1976. Detailed data are presented for each municipal electric utility and Federal project having annual electric operating revenue of $1,000,000 or more; this includes Puerto Rico Water Resources for the first time. Municipal wholesalers, 25 utilities, are those publicly owned elctric utilities whose revenues from sales for resale are 51% or more of the total electric operating revenues. Municipal retailers, 456 utilities, are those publicly owned electric utilities whose revenues from sale for resale are 50% or less of the total electric operating revenues. This edition includes an index listing the name of each reporting publicly owned utility, the state or states in which it operates, and the department operating the Federal project.A summary for all utilities includes the balance sheet, income account, electric operating revenues, electric utility plant, electric operation and maintenance expense, energy account, and physical quantities.
