We maintain an allowance for credit losses based on the estimated ability to collect accounts receivable. The allowance for credit losses is increased by recording an expense for the provision for bad debts for retail customers, and through decreases to revenue at the time of billing for wholesale customers. The allowance is decreased when customer accounts are written off, or when customers are given credits.

The provision for bad debts was $11 million and $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Approximately $603 million and $440 million of credits related to customers are included in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.

In accordance with ASC 326, we performed calculations to estimate expected credit losses, utilizing rates that are consistent with our write offs (net of recoveries) because such events affect the entity’s loss given default experience.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows:
