(1) Our exposure to credit losses for certain regulated utility customers is mitigated by regulatory mechanisms we have in place. Specifically, rates related to all of the customers in our Illinois segment, as well as the residential rates of WE, WPS, and WG in our Wisconsin segment, include riders or other mechanisms for cost recovery or refund of uncollectible expense based on the difference between the actual provision for credit losses and the amounts recovered in rates. As a result, at June 30, 2025, $911.9 million, or 60.9%, of our net accounts receivable and unbilled revenues balance had regulatory protections in place to mitigate the exposure to credit losses. See Note 23, Regulatory Environment, for more information on PGL and NSG's UEA rider for cost recovery or refund of uncollectible expense based on the difference between actual uncollectible write-offs and amounts recovered in rates.

A roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses by reportable segment is included below:

On a consolidated basis, there was a $20.6 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2025, compared to January 1, 2025. This decrease is largely driven by customer write-offs in Wisconsin in addition to a decrease in past due account balances that we believe was related to a continued focus on collection efforts and the lower energy bills typically seen in the spring and summer months, enabling customers to pay down their arrears.

On a consolidated basis, there was a $26.6 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024, compared to January 1, 2024, largely driven by customer write-offs related to the winter moratorium months ending. After a customer is disconnected for a period of time without payment on their account, we will write off that customer balance. Also contributing to the decrease in the allowance for credit losses were lower required reserve percentages at many of our regulated utilities as a result of an improvement in loss rates. We also believe that the lower energy costs that customers were seeing, which were driven by warmer than normal weather conditions and low average natural gas prices, contributed to a reduction in past due accounts receivable balances and a related decrease in the allowance for credit losses.
