 and Analysis

The increase in industrial usage is primarily due to an increase in demand from large industrial customers, primarily in the chlor-alkali, petroleum refining, and industrial gases industries.

The retail electric price variance is primarily due to an increase in formula rate plan revenues, including an increase in the distribution recovery mechanism, effective September 2024.  See Note 2 to the financial statements herein and in the Form 10-K for discussion of the 2023 formula rate plan proceeding.
