Type A programs adjust billings for weather abnormalities, broad external factors, or demand-side management; Type B programs award incentives for achieving objectives such as cost reduction or improved service. Revenue is recognized once the triggering events are complete if the program arises from a regulatory order allowing automatic rate adjustment, the amount is objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and collection occurs within 24 months after the end of the annual period of recognition (605-980-25-4).","concepts":["alternative revenue program","type a and type b programs","automatic

Type A programs adjust billings for weather abnormalities, broad external factors, or demand-side management; Type B programs award incentives for achieving objectives such as cost reduction or improved service. Revenue is recognized once the triggering events are complete if the program arises from a regulatory order allowing automatic rate adjustment, the amount is objectively determinable and probable of recovery, and collection occurs within 24 months after the end of the annual period of recognition (605-980-25-4).","key_points":["Alternative revenue programs fall into Type A (adjust billings for weather abnormalities, broad external factors, or demand-side management initiatives) and Type B (incentive awards for achieving objectives such as cost reduction, milestones, or improved customer service) (605-980-25-2).","After the specific events permitting billing are complete, additional revenue is recognized only if all three conditions in 605-980-25-4 are met: a regulatory commission order allowing automatic adjustment of future rates, an objectively determinable amount that is probable of recovery, and collection within 24 months following the end of the annual period of recognition.","Regulator verification of the future rate adjustment does not prevent the adjustment from being considered automatic (605-980-25-4(a)).","Long-term power supply contracts within the scope of Topic 842 on leases are excluded from this Subtopic (605-980-15-3); the guidance does apply to nonutility generators (605-980-15-2).","When a regulated entity bills requested rate increases before the regulator rules, the loss contingency criteria in 450-20-25-2 determine whether a provision for estimated refunds is accrued; a wide range of possible refund that cannot be reasonably estimated may call into question whether the provisional revenue should be recognized at all (605-980-30-2).","A recorded provision for estimated refunds must be adjusted subsequently as the estimate changes (605-980-35-1, referencing 980-405-25-1(a)).","Alternative revenue program revenue must be presented separately from revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of Topic 606 in the statement of comprehensive income (605-980-45-1), and material refunds recognized in a period other than the period of the related revenue must be disclosed with the years in which the revenue was recognized (605-980-50-1)."],"categories":["Revenue","Recognition","Presentation","Industry-specific"],"audience_level":"intermediate","student_note":"Most of Topic 605 was superseded by ASU 2014-09, but this Subtopic survives because alternative revenue program revenue is not revenue from a contract with a customer — the counterparty right arises from the regulator's order, not the customer contract.
