Class A utilities are those having an annual electric operating revenue of $2.5 million or more. Class B utilities are those with an annual electric operating revenue of $1 million or more, but less than $2.5 million. The information on electric utility net generation which pertains to the entire electric utility industry is compiled from monthly reports of electricity generation filed with the EIA by all electric utilities operating generating facilities. By the end of 1979, there were 205 Classes A and B companies in operation; in 1978, there were 210 Classes A and B companies in operation. The tabulated schedules contained in this report include balance sheets; income and retained earnings statements; statements of changes in financial position; 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; and advertising and sales expense. A section detailing environmental protection facilities and actual expenses incurred is included for the fourth time in 1979. The schedules of this report are based upon the statement accounts and other statistics submitted by the companies in their reports to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These schedules present the accounts of individual companies only. The accounts of parent and subsidiary companies are not consolidated.
