Amounts included in notes below are in thousands
(1) Megawatt hours are presented on a segment basis only. The sum of segment megawatt hours is not presented as it includes intersegment activity and would not properly reflect total megawatt hours for the consolidated Company.
(2) The Company completed its acquisition of TNP Enterprises, Inc. (“TNP”) and its principal subsidiaries, TNMP and First Choice, on June 6, 2005. For comparative purposes, the seven months ended July 31, 2005 include pre-acquisition data.
(3) Altura completed its acquisition of Twin Oaks on April 18, 2006. Wholesale Long Term includes 229 MWh and 721 MWh for Altura for the month and seven months ended July 31, 2006, respectively. No comparative data is presented for 2005.
(4) Energy Sales previously furnished in Current Reports on Form 8-K for January through June 2006 incorrectly reflected an immaterial amount of MWh related to the line loss of energy. The MWh for the month of July 2006 excludes the line loss of energy. Year to date through July MWh have been corrected by a reduction of 11 MWh related to the line loss of energy.
Heating Degree Day (“HDD”) values and Cooling Degree Day (“CDD”) values represent the accumulation in degrees that the daily mean temperature was below or above, respectively, 65 degrees Fahrenheit during a period of time, typically corresponding to a calendar month.
Statistics on HDD and CDD are taken from the service territories of the service provider. PNM’s HDD and CDD statistics are based on weather in Albuquerque, New Mexico. TNMP’s HDD and CDD statistics are based on data from Waco, Houston, Wink, Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas and Alamogordo and Deming, New Mexico. HDD and CDD statistics for First Choice are based on data from Waco, Houston, Wink, Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas.
