Text Box: 1. Load profile is based on the average Winter - Summer split for each year. Individual load profiles may vary. (1998 & later does not have Winter - Summer rate split.) 2. 1999, 2000 & 2001 show as 2 separate entries, due to mid-year Commodity price adjustment. Annualized costs project the rate shown as if it were for the entire year. 3. Spreadsheet and graphs show historical pricing data, and may not necessarily be extrapolated for future years. 4. Compounded % Change Total Costs, includes Basic, Delivery and Commodity (1996 and later). 5. We believe this information to be correct, however Terasen Gas assumes no liability for errors or omissions.
