Fitchburg Gas and Electric d/b/a Unitil has filed revised Standard Complete Billing Percentages (purchase of receivables [POR] discount rates), to be effective December 1
The new residential POR discount rate of 3.38% is over 50% higher than the current rate of 2.25%

Fitchburg Gas and Electric's updated Standard Complete Billing Percentages to be effective December 1, 2019 are as follows:
The new rates remains subject to DPU approval
Fitchburg Gas and Electric noted that, per a prior DPU order, "the
Company made an adjustment of $325,000 to normalize the amount of write-offs
used to calculate the proposed UP [Uncollectible
Percentage] for effect December 1, 2018. In 2017, the
Company delayed recording write-offs while implementing a new billing system in
July, resulting in a lower level of write-offs. The Company adjusted the UP by the estimated write-off amount that would have occurred in 2017 in order to provide a
better estimated rate and avoid a large undercollection in the reconciliation for
December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019. The adjustment has been
reversed out of 2018 actual data in this filing. For Schedule 3, the actual
(unadjusted) 2018 write-off percentage was used for determining the Prior Period
Reconciliation Percentage."
For comparison, Fitchburg Gas and Electric's current Standard Complete Billing Percentages are as follows:
