A COSA is an extensive and complex study; how does PNGC facilitate understanding the results?
A. Wiedl: “PNGC staff is always ready to go through the COSA results in as much detail as is necessary for the cooperative management/staff and Board of Directors to become comfortable with the results. This is with an appreciation for the brief shelf life of a COSA. Good for a budget year or a just-completed audited year, and is a guideline for both the overall level of revenue change (increase or decrease) as well as the level of change for each class of service. The combination of revenue level and rate design change must always be taken in context and local circumstances.
