INVENTORIES (2022-24)

Overall inventories crept up from June 2024 at 45% to September 2024 at 46% of total budgeted projected capital spend. Total inventory, as a percentage of capital spend, has risen from 30% at the beginning of 2022 to 46% as of September 30, 2024. If September 2024 inventory was 30% and the difference deployed, on projected capital spend of $336,219,090, that would represent $55M less in the warehouse and deployed for ratepayer’s benefit.
