Docket No. M-2014-2399138

Response of PECO Energy Company To Dala Requests ofthe Bureau of Technical Utility Services

T U S - M :

In response 2(b)(i), a Pressure Adjuslmenl of 0.483% is provided. Please provide ihe step by step derivation of this value including all pertinent dala used in its calculation. Include definitions of any variables or terminology used in this process

Response:

PECO's Pressure/Temperature adjustment has been revised lo be 763.636 Mcf.1 based on the following calculation.

6.5inwc + U J 3 p s l

Metering Pressure + Atmoshperic Pressure _ 27.8 inwc/lb _ ^

Atmospheric Pressure 14.73 PSI

Pressure Adjustment: 1.016%

Meters Not Subject to a Pressure Factor: 449.150

Total Sendout: 94,956,881 Mcf

Amount of Sendout for Meters Not Subject to a Pressure Factor: 47,727,235 Mcf

To determine the amount of LUFG for the Temperature/Pressure Adjustment, multiply the Pressure Adjusiment times the Amount of Sendout for Meters Not Subject to a Pressure Factor. Then.

! Please note, this number was revised from the previously reported figure of 456.882 Mcf in the Company's September 30, 2014 Annua] UFG filing. The Company indicalcd in its December 30T 2014 response to the Commission's dala requests that it was reviewing this adjusiment and would revise it accordingly when iis review was complete. PECO was able to further refine its estimation by collecting dala on: 1) manufacturer pressure settings for meters and regulators installed; 2) the actual number of meters that are nol calibraied to account for differences in pressure settings between meters and regulators; and 3) ihe total amouni of annual sendout going through these meters.

Page 4: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

TUS-I-1 (Continued):

subtract oul the Amount of Sendout for Meters Not Subject lo a Pressure Factor.

(1.016 *47.727,235 Mcf) - 47.727,235 Mcf = 763,636 Mcf

The adjustment was calculated by applying the Pressure Adjusiment to the meters lhat are not calibrated to account for differences in pressure settings between meters and regulators.

Page 5: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission Investigation of

PECO Energy Company Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) Reporting - 2014

Docket No. M-2014-2399138

Response of PECO Energy Company To Data Requests ofthe Bureau of Technical Utility Services

mS-I-2:

In Response 2(a)(i), it is mentioned that the LNG Turbine start-up usage is calculated based on "engineering principles." Provide the specific principles and formulas used in these calculations, including the data used as inputs for these calculations. Provide a walk-through ofthe calculation done for PECO's 2014 UFG report as Dockcl No. M-2014-2399138, including definitions of any terms, acronyms, and variables used.

Response:

PECO uses the following calculation to determine the amouni of natural gas used to operate the LNG Turbine.

A. Start-Up Fuel

Assumptions

225 Inlet pressure of Turbine (PSIG) 0 Outlet Pressure (PSIG) 4 Pipe Diameter (Inches) 3 Number ol" Starts per year 60 Time of gas (low during start (seconds)

Equation Components

Q = Gas How in MCFH (Thousand Cubic Feet per Hour) D = Diameter of opening in inches Pi = Pressure in line in PSIA (Pounds per Square Inch Absolute)

Page 6: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

TUS-I-2 (Continued):

Equation

Q = D2P<

D *((Pinlet+ 14.73) - (Poutlet + 14.73))

4 *4* ((225 + 14.73)-(0+ 14.73)) = 3,600 Mcf per hour

Startup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour

3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl

60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf

180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage (Mcf)

Please note that this calculation includes a minor revision to the calculation provided in PECO's December 30, 2014 response to Commission data requests. PECO previously provided the following information for LNG Turbine Start Up Gas:

132 Mcf - Gas Lost per Start

The correct information is:

60 Mcf - Gas Lost per Start

B. LNG Process Usage

Process usage - 2,006.74 Mcf/day - assuming the LNG turbine ran 125 days during the reporting period.

Process Usage is 250,842 Mcf.

Total LNG Turbine fuel consumption is 251,022 Mcf

The totals for the LNG turbine fuels are tracked and reported on a monthly basis by PECO's Gas System Operators (GSO).

PECO Energy Company Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) Reporting-2014

Docket No. M-2014-2399138

Response of PECO Energy Company To Data Requests of the Bureau of Technical Utility Services

TUS-I-3:

In Response 2(a)(ii), PECO avers that the number of "stuck" meters is based on usage data. Please explain in detail how usage data is correlated to the quantity of stuck meters. Also, provide the monthly data for account status and meter usage data, and a walk through of the calculation done for PECO's 2014 UFG report at Docket No. M-2014-2399138.

Response:

PECO determined the amouni of UFG for stuck meters by pulling the amouni of meters from Ihe billing syslem for each monlh and multiplying those amounls by the annual average monthly usage per customer. The total is then divided by the Historical Retail Sendout (Retail Sendout excludes transportation sendout for large customers) to determine the annual factor of UFG attributable to stuck meters. Then, the factor is applied to 2014 Retail Sendout. Please see Altachment TUS-I-3 for the data used to calculate this adjustment.

Il should be noted lhal PECO used 2012 assessment resulls in the Company's 2014 Annual UFG Report. The 2012 assessment incorporated data between 2009 and 2011 to smooth out the impacl that weather can have on stuck meters.

The Meter Maintenance Adjustment is composed ofthe Zero Registration Residential and Zero Registration Commercial drivers (stuck meters) contained in Attachment TUS-I-3. The number of meters associated with these drivers (each month) are multiplied by the Annual Residential & Commercial Monthly Usage amounts (see response to TUS-I-5 below) and also include the assumptions contained in Attachment TUS-I-3. The results are divided by total retail sendout.

Note, the numbers below have already had the Annual Residential & Commercial Monthly Usage amounts (from TUS-I-5 below) applied to them.

147,492 Mcf+ 428,931 Mcf = 576.423 Mcf

576.423 Mcf759.323.416 Mcf = 0.00971661

Page 8: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

TUS-I-3 (Continued):

The meter maintenance factor of .9717% is applied to the 2014 Retail Send oul number of 66,168.854 Mcf.

Thus, for stuck meters the adjustment is 642,937 Mcf.

Page 9: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

Docket No. M-2014-2399138

Response of PECO Energy Company To Data Requests of the Bureau of Technical Utility Services

TUS-M:

In reference to Response 2(b)(i), provide a walkthrough ofthe calculation done for "% LUFG," using the values used in PECO's 2014 UFG report at Docket M-2014-2399138. Also, explain how this value is imputed to be representative of the amount of theft in PECO's distribution system.

Response:

See Attachment TUS-I-3, which contains the supporting data and principles used to calculate the components of the % LUFG. Attachment TUS-I-3 contains the following UFG drivers, which are considered lo be components of theft:

1) Consumption of Inactive Meters ("CIM") - This driver is composed of customers who are using natural gas without a contract or account.

2) Reported Theft - This driver is based on an analysis of possible meter tampering.

3) Orphan - This driver includes meters that are communicating with PECO on the network but are not associated with any account.

4) Lost Meters - This driver includes meters lhat are not in the billing system and are not being heard on the network.

5) Unmetered Service - This driver includes gas service that has been created wilhout a meter to bill the associated consumption.

6) Vacant - This driver includes properties thai are coded as being vacant in the billing system and should have no usage. However, there could be a broken meter.

7) Seasonal - This driver includes properties lhat are coded as being seasonal in the billing system and should have no usage. However, there could be a broken meter.

Page 10: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

T U S - M (Continued):

The % LUFG is imputed to be representative ofthe amount of theft in the following manner.

Il should be noted that PECO used 2012 assessment results in tlie Company's 2014 Annual UFG Report. The 2012 assessment incorporated data from 2011.

The Theft of Service Adjustment is composed ofthe sum of the remaining drivers in Exhibit A divided by retail sendout which sums up to 0.290973%.

41.286 Mcf + 25.856 Mcf + 871 Mcf + 1 ;786 Mcf + 22.063 Mcf + 5,932 Mcf + 5,932 Met' + 43,782 Mcf + 25,106 Mcf = 172,614 Mcf

172,614 Mcf/59,323,416 Mcf = 0.00290973

This factor is applied to the 2014 Retail Send out number of 66,168,854 Mcf.

0. 00290973 x 66,168,854 = 192,533 Mcf.

Thus, for theft of service the adjustment is 192,533.

Page 11: Exelon - PA.GovStartup time = 60 seconds or one 60111 of an hour 3,600 Mcf per hour/60 = 60 Mcf per slarl 60 Md'/starl * 3 starts per year = 180 Mcf 180 Annual Turbine Start Up Usage

Response of PECO Energy Company To Data Requests oflhe Bureau of Technical Utility Services

TUS-I-5:

In Response 2(b)(i), it is mentioned that the "Annual Residential Customer Monthly Usage1' is weather normalized. Describe in detail how this is done, and provide a walkthrough ofthe computation of this weather normalization performed for PECO's 2014 UFG report at Docket No. M-2014-2399138, including the raw data used to do this calculation.

Response:

Weather normalization in the Annual Residential Customer Monthly Usage calculation means that the same usage amouni (per customer) was used in each month of the year, regardless of whether it was a winter or summer month. The table below contains the raw data used to calculate the Average Residential and Commercial Customer Monthly Usage amounts (used in the % LUFG calculation in TUS-I-4 above). The results below are applied to the Meter Maintenance and Theft of Service data contained in Attachment TUS-I-3.

For adjustments within the "Other" category, provide a definition for each individual sub-category. For example, if there are three different adjustments included under "Other,"provide separate definitions and rationales for each of these three items.

1. Pressure/Temperature Adjustments - A pressure adjuslmenl is taken lo account for pressure differences between regulator and meter capacity settings. Because ofthe difference in settings, there wilt be naturally recurring LUFG.

2. Distribution System Leak Rate - adjustment laken for the amouni of loss associated wilh naturally occurring syslem leaks. The Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") estimate of methane emissions calculation is used to quantify the amount of physical leakage on PECO's system. Natural gas is composed primarily of methane, which is a greenhouse gas that impacts global warming. As such, the EPA has an inleresl in quantifying and controlling "fugitive emissions" (unintentional leaks of natural gas from sealed surfaces) of nalural gas. The EPA calculates leak rates per type of pipe according to the following calculation: Miles of Main Type x Leak Rale = Amouni of Mains Loss.

3. Company Use - adjustment for operational use of natural gas at PECO facilities. This adjustment is used lo accouni for the use of LNG liquefaction turbine starting fuel, propane vaporizer fuel, and gate station pre-heater fuel. This represents gas that is nol unaccounted for. but utilized for the purpose of providing reliable supply to our ratepayers. Also included in this adjustment is the use of gas by PECO facilities for building heating purposes.

4. Theft of Service - potential loss associated with unbilled gas usage due to consumption on inactive meters, lost meters, properties that were reported as vacanl or seasonal, but actually were not. gas meter/module tampering, etc. Although PECO uses analytics lo idcnlify and address theft, il is nol practically achievable to identify and eliminate all potential theft of services due lo customer behavior.

5. Meter Maintenance - adjustment for loss associated with defective meters (e.g. zero registration - stuck meters) not accurately measuring gas usage, which can be highly variable and dependent on weather. Cold weather can increase the amount of broken meters as well as the average usage for each meter.

6. Purging - When new gas services are constructed/installed or when existing pipes are replaced, repaired or otherwise returned to service after interruption, it is necessary to purge the lines of air. This is done with vented gas, which displaces air in the pipes to ensure safe operation after inslallalion. repair or replacement. The gas loss associated with purging is unmetered and accounted for through a calculation, which includes the estimated instances of purging per year.

pipe diameter, gas pressure utilized lo vent the air, and amount of time required to complete purging. A Purging adjustment is taken to account for the loss associated with these activities.

7. Unmetered Gas Station Use - adjustment for unmetered use by pneumatic equipmeni al PECO gate stations. This represents gas lhat is not unaccounted for, but utilized for the purpose of providing reliable supply to our ratepayers. Calculations are based on manufacturer speci fications.

8. Meter Read Cycle Adjustments - A Meter Read Cycle adjustment is required to convert usage based on a billing cycle lo usage based on a calendar cycle. The Gas Received included in the line loss calculation is based on a calendar cycle. Thus, for comparability, the Gas Delivered included in the line loss calculation should include: 1) gas billed by the Company on a calendar cycle. 2) an estimate of gas used by customers on a calendar cycle (for which the Company has not yet billed); and 3) gas used by customers in a previous calendar cycle (for which the Company has billed in the current calendar cycle).

Additionally, PECO sets its Company Use equipment according to manufacturer specifications. PECO also employs manufacturer estimations for the quantity of gas required to operate the equipment. The loss associated wilh using this equipment is not tracked. Instead. PECO uses the manufacturer specifications and estimations to develop calculations, which determine the amount of loss.

Finally, the PECO Gas Planl conducts winter readiness tests on its vaporizers to ensure proper operations, and secondary tuning/emission tests for environmental purposes. The loss associated with these tests is not tracked.

LNG Turbine:

PECO uses the following calculations to determi nc the amount of nalural gas used to operate the LNG Turbine.

A. Start-Up Fuel

Assumptions

225 Inlet pressure of Turbine (PSIG) 0 Outlet Pressure (PSIG) 4 Pipe Diameter (Inches) 3 Number of Starts per year 60 Time of gas How during start (seconds)

Equation Components

Q = Gas How in MCFH (Thousand Cubic Feet per Hour) D = Diameter of opening in inches Pi ^ Pressure in line in PSIA (Pounds per Square Inch Absolute)

Equation

Q = D2P,

D* D *((Pinlel+ 14.73) - (Poutlet + 14.73))

4 H * ((225 + 14.73) - (0 + 14.73)) = 3,600 Mcf per hour

Accordingly, PECO must take temperature and pressure variations into consideration at each gate station. Preheaters keep the temperature of gas above freezing at all (imes. While gas is used to fuel the preheaters, PECO does not track its preheater fuel usage with meters. Instead, Pre-heater fuel usage is determined by utilizing a factor of 0.12% ofthe station throughput. This is an in-house calculation (hal was reviewed and verified by a third party engineering firm. There are some upstream pressure changes lhat occur at individual stations lhat impact the factor but not enough to change the factor per station. The factor variance is 0.02%.

b. Describe in detail the methodology and calculations used to arrive at the final value for the adjustment, including but not limited to:

i . The formula(s) used in the calculation, including definitions and explanations for all values and variables used in the calculation.

PECO used the following formula for both theft of service and meter maintenance3:

% LUFG = (((estimated number of residential meters each month) x (average residential monthly usage)) + ((estimated number of commercial meters each month) x (average commercial monthly usage)))/sendout Estimated number of residential/commercial meters each month:

Theft of Service - the amount of theft (such as consumption on inactive meters) is identified in CIMS via meter usage data on meters without a cusiomer of record. Additional types of theft are estimated based on historical experience on gas theft cases, ll is practically impossible lo have a precise account for all potential theft of service.

Meter Maintenance - broken meters are identified via CIMS and meter dala analytics to delerminc the volume of broken meters.

Annual residential customer monthly usage = Annual residential customer usage divided by total number of residential customers; the number is then weather normalized4

and annualized.

PECO is providing a more detailed and revised calculation than what was previously provided in its December 30, 2014 responses to Commission data requests.

PECO's Revised Responses to Commission Data Requests - February 26, 2015

Annual commercial customer monthly usage = Annual commercial customer usage divided by total number of commercial customers; the number is then weather normalized* and annualized.

Total Sendout = measurement of all volumes in Mcl" that were received into the Company's distribution syslem.

Please see Exhibit A, which contains the monthly dala used to calculate the % LUFG formula and iis components. Additionally, it should be noted thai PECO used 2012 assessment results in the Company's 2014 Annual UFG Report. The 2012 assessment incorporated dala between 2009 and 2011 to smooth out the impact that weather can have on stuck meters.

The Meter Maintenance Adjustment is composed of the Zero Registration Residential and Zero Registration Commercial drivers (stuck meters) contained in Exhibit A. The number of meters associated with these drivers (each month) arc multiplied by the Annual Residential & Commercial Monthly Usage amounts and also include the assumptions contained in Exhibit A:

Residential 2011

Commercial 2011

Total Usage (Mmcf) 35,506 18,300

Total Customers 448,623 40,980 Annual UPC

(Mmcf) 0.08 0.45

Annual UPC (Ccf) 791 4,466

Monthly UPC (Ccf) 66 372

The results are divic ed by total retail sendoul.

Note, the numbers below have already had the Annual Residential & Commercial Monthly Usage amounts (from the above table) applied lo them.

147,492 Mcf+ 428,931 Mcf = 576,423 Mcf

576,423 Mcf/59,323.416 Mcf = 0.00971661

The meter maintenance factor of .9717% is applied to the 2014 Retail Send out number of 66,168,854 Mcf.

Thus, for stuck meters the adjustment is 642,937 Mcf.

The Theft of Service Adjustment is composed ofthe sum ofthe remaining drivers in Exhibit A divided by retail sendoul which sums up to 0.290973%.

41.286 Mcf + 25.856 Mcf + 871 Mcf + 1,786 Mcf + 22,063 Mcf + 5,932 Mcf + 5,932 Mcf+ 43,782 Mcf + 25,106 Mcf = 172,614 Mcf

172,614 Mcf/59.323.416 Mcf = 0.00290973

This factor is applied to the 2014 Retail Send out number of 66,168.854 Mcf.

0.00290973 x 66,168,854 = 192,533 Mcf.

Thus, for theft of service the adjustment is 192,533.

. provide a reference to the source of this formula.

The formula is an in-house methodology used to estimate revenue loss. Using account and usage information to monitor the possibility of broken meters and consumption on inactive meters is commonly used in the utility industry. While all reported theft cases are addressed immediately, theft cannot be fully prevented or predicted and therefore unreported theft remains a driver for which the impact to LUFG cannot be fully determined or reduced.

b. Describe in detail the methodology and calculations used to anive at the final value for the adjustment, including but not limited to:

i . The formula(s) used in the calculation, including definitions and explanations for all values and variables used in the calculation.

The Purging adjustment was calculated assuming 600 instances of purging due lo new construction. Each instance assumes 2" vent pipe, 5 minutes of purging, and 10 psig inlet pressure going to atmosphere. The algebraic formula is as follows:

Q = D2* i\ Q = Gas flow in Mcf/h (Thousand Cubic Feet per Hour) D = Diameter of opening in inches !\ = Pressure in line in PSIA (Pounds per Square Inch Absolute) Absolute inlet pressure = 74.73 Absolute Outlet Pressure = 14.73 Q = Gas f low per hour (mcf/h) = 240 Mcf/h

Multiplying Q by Number of events and Average Purge Time the total calculation is:

Q total = 2 4 0 ^ x 600 events/Year x 300 seconds 13600 seconds per hour

Q total = 12.000 Mcf/Year

Gas loss per v a n t (Mcf) = 20 purse v

Please note that this calculation corrected a prior mistake in PECO's Annual LUFG Report submitted in September 2014. PECO previously attributed 6,000 Mcf to purging activities. Upon review of this figure, PECO determined that it inadvertently swilched the Number of Purges and the Time of Gas Flow During Venting figures in that calculation. PECO has corrected this discrepancy, which changes the previously reported amouni of loss associated with purging to 12,000 Mcf/'

The Meter Read Cycle Adjustment is calculated by taking the estimated usage from August 2014 that will be billed in September 2014 and subtracting from it the estimated usage from August 2013 that was billed in September 2013. As the usage included in the unadjusted Gas Delivered number represents usage

PECO's Revised Responses to Commission Data Requests - February 26, 2015

billed from September 2013 to August 2014, the Meter Read Cycle Adjustment converts the annual billed usage to annual calendar usage.

The adjustment amouni is based on unbilled usage, which is calculated monthly and recorded in the books and records of the Company. The process to calculate unbilled usage each month is as follows:

1) Sendout (in Mcl") is obtained from metering performed at PECO's gale stations.

2) Adjusted Calendar Sales are calculated starting with the entire month's Sendout (in Mcf). which is adjusted for a historical rolling 24-month line loss factor (Sales as a percentage of Sendoul).

3) Billed Sales are obtained from CIMS

4) Unbilled Sales = Adjusted Calendar Sales - Billed Sales + Prior Month

ii . The empirical or legal justification for the use of this formula. For example, is this a formula derived in-house by the company, and if so how was this done? If the formula is provided by another source (i.e.. an industry standards group, federal or state agency, academic study, etc.), provide a reference to (he source of this formula.

The Company must include usage (and revenue) for the calendar cycle on its books in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
