Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) Horizon Power's system cannot retrospectively provide this information; therefore, answers to parts (a)–(f) are not available.

As at 27 November 2018, 7 252 customers were in arrears and 1 580 customers were on payment plans. The number of customers in arrears include those on payment plans.

(2) The arrears figures—anything past the due date—for residential and business customers are below. Residential-only figures are not available for previous periods without reporting changes. The following figures represent combined residential and business debt.

The rest of the answer is in tabular form and I seek leave to have it incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.

The following material was incorporated —

(a) $14,875,250.00

(b) $14,196,168.00

(c) $14,099,529.00

(d) $16,240,122.00

(e) $14,174,465.00

(f) $13,394,843.00

As at the 27th of November 2018:

Current residential outstanding debt: $4,506,392.85
