AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Horizon Power's system cannot
retrospectively provide this information; therefore, answers to parts (a)–(f) are not available.
As at 27 November 2018, 7 252
customers were in arrears and 1 580 customers were on payment plans. The number
of customers in arrears include those on payment plans.
(2) The
arrears figures—anything past the due date—for residential and
business customers are below. Residential-only figures are not available for
previous periods without reporting changes. The following figures represent
combined residential and business debt.
The rest of the
answer is in tabular form and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard .
Leave granted.
The
following material was incorporated —
(a) $14,875,250.00
(b) $14,196,168.00
(c) $14,099,529.00
(d) $16,240,122.00
(e) $14,174,465.00
(f) $13,394,843.00
As at the 27th of November 2018:
Current residential outstanding debt: $4,506,392.85
