Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6674001
This publication presents, for the 40th consecutive year, comprehensive financial and operating information on all the large privately owned electric utility companies operating in the United States. The information has been taken from the annual reports of classes A and B electric utilities to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the year 1976. Class A utilities are those having annual electric operating revenues of $2.5 million or more. Class B utilities are those with annual electric operating revenues of $1 million or more but less than $2.5 million. This data is based on information tabulated from FPC Form No. 5, monthly reports filed with the Commission by 194 privately owned electric utilities each having electric operating revenues in excess of $2.5 million annually. These monthly reports contain the results of operations and are based on unaudited operating and financial information and may include estimates. Over or under estimates are ajusted, in general, in December each year. The operating revenues reported are approximately 99% of the total operating revenues of the 212 classes A and B jurisdictional companies reporting to the Commission. The schedules contained in this report include balance sheets, income and retained earnings statements, statements of changes in financial position, capital stock and long-term debt, electric operating revenues, customers and sales by classes of service, electric operation and maintenance expenses, utility plant, physical quantities, rates of return on electric utility rate base, rates of return on common equity, interest coverage and capitalization ratios, advertising and sales expense, and sales of firm power for resale. Included for the first time in 1976 is a section detailing environmental protection facilities and actual expenses incurred.
