Curtailable industrial customers, by definition, possess the ability to reduce or eliminate their gas consumption during periods of peak system stress or supply constraints, thereby providing operational flexibility and system reliability benefits to all ratepayers. Explain why the proposed rate design does not include a discount on the usage charge to reflect this load flexibility, and the corresponding value curtailable customers provide to the system. 31.

Refer to the confidential workpaper file “Navitas COSSvFinal (Confidential),” tab “Alloc-Income.” a. Provide a plain-language explanation of how Unbilled Revenue is incorporated into the determination of the revenue requirement increase reflected in the cost of service study, including a step-by-step description of the calculation and its directional effect on the revenue requirement. b.

Refer to the confidential workpaper file “Navitas COSSvFinal (Confidential),” tab “Allocation.” The cost of service study appears to include the following accounts within the O&M Less A&G allocator: Property Insurance, Rents, and Maintenance of General Plant.

Provide a detailed explanation of how agricultural customers use natural gas, including: (1) The primary end uses for which agricultural customers consume natural gas (e.g., irrigation pump engines, grain drying, greenhouse heating, or other applications) (2) The seasonal nature of agricultural gas consumption, including the months or periods during which agricultural customers are actively consuming gas and the months or periods during which consumption is negligible or zero. (3) The typical daily load profile of agricultural customers, including whether their gas consumption is concentrated during daytime hours, warmer weather periods, or other operational windows. b. Agricultural operations are generally understood to be seasonal in nature and to consume gas predominantly during warmer months — typically on days where the ambient temperature exceeds the cooling design temperature threshold — rather than during the cold-weather peak demand periods that drive system design day conditions. Explain whether Navitas KY agrees with this characterization of agricultural customer load behavior if not, provide data, studies, or analyses that support a different characterization of agricultural customer usage patterns. c. Explain how Navitas KY accounted for the off-peak, counter-seasonal load characteristics of agricultural customers when developing the Design Day Allocator.
