Key Trends
In FY 2019-20, the DEC produced 55,258 MWh less than in FY 2018-19. This resulted in approximately $24.7
Million less in revenues and $1.5 Million more in total expenses as compared to FY 2018-19. The decreased
revenue was due to the unseasonably warm weather in the summer months. As of September 30, 2020,
expenditures exceeded revenues by $12.0 Million. The FY 2019-20 Preliminary Actuals for fuel cost were
$3.4 Million less than in FY 2018-19 as a result of fewer run hours. The FY 2019-20 Preliminary Actuals for
Insurance were $625,000 higher than in FY 2018-19 as a result of an increase in the cost of DEC property
insurance and the acquisition of outage insurance. The debt service in FY 2019-20 was $3.7 Million more
than in FY 2018-19.
The DEC Gross Margin for FY 2019-20 was $9.0 Million which is $21.3 Million less than in FY 2018-19 (Gross
Margin = DEC Revenue –Fuel Cost –Variable Operating & Maintenance Cost). Again, this is due to
unseasonably cooler weather in July and August. FY 2019-20 year-end preliminary actuals show $(11.98)
Million in Net Income compared to $14.22 Million in Net Income for FY 2018-19.
