Other loan receivables and applicable off-balance sheet commitments utilize a discounted cash flow methodology which calculates the current expected credit losses based on historical default probability rates associated with the credit rating of the counterparty and the related term of the loan or commitment, adjusted for forward-looking information and management expectations. Trade receivables and unbilled revenues are presented net of allowance for expected credit losses of $119 million and $100 million as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.NATURAL GAS IMBALANCESThe Consolidated Statements of Financial Position include balances as a result of differences in gas volumes received from, and delivered for, customers.
