(a) Includes the retail electric and firm natural gas sales of NSTAR beginning April 10, 2012.
Our Operating Revenues increased in 2012, as compared to 2011, due primarily to the addition of NSTAR, which included electric
distribution revenues of approximately $1.7 billion, transmission revenues of approximately $50 million, natural gas revenues of
approximately $200 million and other revenues of approximately $15 million, and the consolidation of CYAPC and YAEC revenues of
approximately $40 million. Excluding the impact of NSTAR's operations and the consolidation of CYAPC and YAEC, our Operating
Revenues decreased due to the following:
• Lower electric distribution segment revenues related to the portions that are included in regulatory commission approved
tracking mechanisms that recover certain incurred costs and do not impact earnings. The tracking mechanisms allow for rates
to be changed periodically with overcollections refunded to customers or undercollections recovered from customers in future
