Meeting Follow-up
- June 8, 2026 Large Group SAG Meeting Attendee List and Notes
- Question from Zach Ross, E Source: Does Guidehouse remove distributors or trade allies from their NTG samples when they are in disadvantaged areas?
- Response from Guidehouse: For ComEd, with the exception of the Commercial Instant Discounts program, Trade Allies/Distributors are removed when in DACs. Because of the small sample size available for the Instant Discounts program, removing them prevents statistically valid results, so the Trade Allies/Distributors are not removed. For IL GAS, similarly, Trade Allies are not removed when there is a small sample.
