By report year MWh and shares of Washington retail sales including losses; not generation, not a compliance finding

Each year as Commerce's fuel-mix system holds it: MWh and shares of the utility's Washington retail sales including line losses, never generation and never a compliance finding. Years before CY2018 are Commerce's restatement under the 2019 method, not the disclosure published for the year; no change is taken across that break.

Before CY2018: restatedCommerce's current system run over what utilities reported for a year before CY2018. The disclosure published for that year followed the old law, which required Commerce to assign fuel shares to unspecified power; this run keeps unspecified power as its own Market category, and Commerce's statewide totals for these years differ from the statutory reports.

Customer programmes

EIA-861 Schedule 6, as filed

Programme results as each utility filed them, by customer class and report year, each in its own unit. Classes are never added into a total, years are never added into a period, and savings are never divided by sales. The one ratio shown, enrolled demand-response customers against the utility's own EIA-861 customer count for the same state, class and year, carries both counts.

Energy efficiency EIA-861 Schedule 6 Part A

A long-form filer with no Schedule 6 row: either no programme, or a separate administrator reports it.

Demand response EIA-861 Schedule 6 Part B

A long-form filer with no Schedule 6 row: either no programme, or a separate administrator reports it.

Population: organizations of this release with EIA-861 rows in the core states. A short-form respondent has no figures to file; a long-form respondent without a row may have no programmes or may have a nonutility administrator reporting for it. Years without a row are listed against the table's span, not against the years this utility filed the form.
