PECO Installment Plan Receivables (Exelon and PECO)
PECO enters into payment agreements with certain delinquent customers, primarily residential, seeking to restore their service, as required by the PAPUC. Customers with past due balances that meet certain income criteria are provided the option to enter into an installment payment plan, some of which have terms greater than one year, to repay past due balances in addition to paying for their ongoing service on a current basis. The receivable balance for these payment agreement receivables is recorded in accounts receivable for the current portion and other deferred debits and other assets for the noncurrent portion. The net receivable balance for installment plans with terms greater than one year was $11 million and $9 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts reserve methodology and assessment of the credit quality of the installment plan receivables are consistent with the customer accounts receivable methodology discussed in Note 1Significant Accounting Policies of the Exelon 2016 Form 10-K. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance associated with these receivables at September 30, 2017 of $12 million consists of $3 million and $9 million for medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts balance at December 31, 2016 of $13 million consists of $1 million, $3 million and $9 million for low risk, medium risk and high risk segments, respectively. The balance of the payment agreement is billed to the customer in equal monthly installments over the term of the agreement. Installment receivables outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include balances not yet presented on the customer bill, accounts currently billed and an immaterial amount of past due receivables. When a customer defaults on its payment agreement, the terms of which are defined by plan type, the entire balance of the agreement becomes due and the balance is reclassified to current customer accounts receivable and reserved for in accordance with the methodology discussed in Note 1Significant Accounting Policies of the Exelon 2016 Form 10-K.
