Appendix

We support the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and have committed to work toward implementation. Governance of this work is managed by the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability, & Safety Committee of the Board of Directors (CRS&S) and is included in its Committee Charter. This committee also provides governance for the Company’s efforts for the broader ESG strategies and commitments. Atmos Energy's deliberate, integrated, enterprise-wide approach to TCFD recommendations underscores our commitment to meaningful implementation and continual improvement. We encourage you to read more about our Governance and Risk Management under the Corporate Governance heading. Additionally, we make disclosures based on the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) frameworks and include relevant key performance indicators (KPIs) where possible. Atmos Energy has opted not to use the CDP framework because it is not tailored to the natural gas utility business. Each report section will include Atmos Energy’s overall approach to managing the topic, available performance data, recent highlights, and any forward-looking statements/goals that can be disclosed.

IF-GU-000.C Length of gas (1) transmission and (2) distribution pipelines At September 30, 2021, in our distribution segment, we owned an aggregate of 71,921 miles (115,745 km) of underground distribution and transmission mains throughout our distribution systems. These mains are located on easements or rights-of-way. We maintain our mains through a program of continuous inspection and repair and believe that our system of mains is in good condition. Through our pipeline and storage segment we also owned 5,699 miles (9,171 km) of gas transmission lines.
Energy Affordability
IF-GU-240a.1 Average retail gas rate for (1) residential, (2) commercial, (3) industrial customers, and (4) transportation services only Historical information is available in the Atmos Energy Corporation Statistical Summary, which is available on the Atmos Energy Website.
IF-GU-240a.2 Typical monthly gas bill for residential customers for (1) 50 MMBtu and (2) 100 MMBtu of gas delivered per year

For residential customers using 50 MMBtu per year the average bill is  $52.95

For residential customers using 100 MMBtu per year the average bill is  $85.84

IF-GU-240a.3 Number of residential customer gas disconnections for non-payment, percentage reconnected within 30 days

This is a metric that we do not publicly disclose. However, we proactively work with customers to provide them with solutions should they experience financial hardship. We are able to provide our customers with financial assistance should the need arise through programs like Sharing the Warmth and LiHEAP. More information about our Energy Assistance Programs can be found in Helping Our Communities Stay Warm.

IF-GU-240a.4 Discussion of impact of external factors on customer affordability of gas, including the economic conditions of the service territory Atmos Energy's natural gas bills are some of the lowest recurring household expenses for our customers in the jurisdictions where we operate. We provide a comparison of our monthly gas bill in our monthly investor report along with providing a detailed chart of our bills historical growth and factors that impact customer bills.
End-Use Efficiency
IF-GU-420a.1 Percentage of gas utility revenues from rate structures that (1) are decoupled or (2) contain a lost revenue adjustment mechanism (LRAM) In our distribution segment, we have weather normalization of Weather Normalization Adjustment (WNA) mechanisms in all states, except for Colorado. This substantially mitigates the adverse effects of warmer-than-normal weather for meters in those service areas. We have one formal lost revenue adjustment mechanism called the DSM in Colorado. We also have formula rate mechanisms in place in four states that provide for an annual rate review and adjustment to rates. In our pipeline and storage segment, approximately 80% of this segment’s revenues are earned from delivery services to local distribution companies (including our Mid-Tex Division) under a straight/fixed variable rate design.   
IF-GU-420a.2 Customer gas savings from efficiency measures by market

Gas savings efficiency measures are only permissible in jurisdictions where it is allowed by our regulators. Currently we have four energy efficiency programs in our service areas.

Colorado (Tariff Sheet 8a)
Gas Demand-Side Management Cost Adjustment (G-DSMCA) All sales rate schedules for natural gas service are subject to a Gas Demand-Side Management Adjustment (“G-DSMCA”) Designed to prospectively recover prudently incurred costs of Demand-Side Management Programs (“DSM Programs”) in accordance with Gas Demand-Side Management Rules 4750 through 4760 of the Commission’s Rules Regulating Gas Utilities and Pipeline Operators, 4 Code of Colorado Regulations 723- 4 (“Gas DSM Rules”). The G-DSMCA Factor shall be separately calculated and applied to the Company’s base rates schedules for residential, small commercial and commercial customers. The Company shall recover the annual expenditures projected for that year over a one-year period with the G-DSMCA Factor.

Mississippi (Energy Efficiency Rider Tariff)
The purpose of the Energy Efficiency Cost Recovery (EECR) Rider is to establish the EECR Rate(s) by which the Company will recover its energy efficiency Quick Start Plan program costs approved by the Mississippi Public Service Commission (“Commission”), including (1) the incremental energy efficiency program costs (“Incremental Program Costs”) and (2) lost contribution to fixed cost (“LCFC”) (collectively, the “Recoverable Costs”), all as described in Rule 29, “Conservation and Energy Efficiency Programs,” of the Commission’s Rules and Regulations Governing Public Utility Service, and as approved by the Commission in Docket 2010-AD-2 on July 11, 2013. Recovery of Incremental Program Costs is limited to the incremental costs which represent the direct program costs that are not already included in the then current rates of the Company.

Mid-Tex (Conservation and Energy Efficiency Rider)
Atmos Energy Corporation’s Mid-Tex Division provides a Conservation and Energy Efficiency program which offers assistance to residential and commercial customers to encourage reductions in energy consumption and lower energy utility bills. The proposal is one where Atmos Energy shareholders will fund a half of the allowable expenses incurred annually, with a customer rate component providing the remainder of the funding. The programs offered under Rate Schedule CEE will be consistent with similar conservation and energy efficiency programs offered by other gas utilities and may include, but not limited to residential and commercial customer rebates for high efficiency appliances and equipment, as well as a low income customer weatherization assistance program.

Louisiana (Energy Efficiency Rider Tariff)
The purpose of the Energy Efficiency Rider (“EER”) is to establish the EER Rate(s) used by Atmos Energy Corporation (“Atmos Energy” or the “Company”) to recover energy efficiency costs approved by the Louisiana Public Service Commission (“LPSC”) in its General Order in Docket R-31106, as revised and amended February 1, 2019 (the “General Order”). The energy efficiency costs include (1) the incremental direct Projected Energy Efficiency Program Costs (“PEEC”) and (2) the Lost Contribution to Fixed Costs (“LCFC”) described and approved by the LPSC in Section VI of the LPSC’s Energy Efficiency Rules attached to the General Order (“Rules”), collectively the “Recoverable Costs.” Recovery of the PEEC is limited to the incremental costs representing the direct program costs not included in the then-current rates of Atmos Energy, including those costs identified in Section VI of the Rules. The EER Rates will be calculated to recover Atmos Energy’s Recoverable Costs over the period in which the EER Rates will be in effect. The tariff becomes effective February 1, 2022.

Integrity of Gas Delivery Infrastructure
IF-GU-540a.1 Number of (1) reportable pipeline incidents, (2) Corrective Action Orders (CAO), and (3) Notices of Probable Violation (NOPV) Reportable Pipeline Orders - 6
Corrective Action Orders - 0
Notices or Probable Violation (NOPV) - 0
IF-GU-540a.2 Percentage of distribution pipeline that is (1) cast and/or wrought iron and (2) unprotected steel We publish this information in our annual DOT Report Filings. Additionally the data is made available on our website, in our annual Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report and in our monthly Investor Updates. As of December 31, 2020 we had approximately 6,700 miles of unprotected steel, which represents approximately 9% of our distribution pipeline. All remaining cast-iron pipe was replaced in calendar year 2021.
IF-GU-540a.3 Percentage of gas (1) transmission and (2) distribution pipelines inspected 

In fiscal year 2021, we inspected approximately 13% or 740.9 miles of the 5,737 total transmission miles for APT.

Atmos Energy surveys the approximately 77,000 miles of our distribution and transmission pipelines at rates and frequencies that meet and often exceed state and federal guidelines. Monitoring frequency of pipelines is determined by federal and state pipeline safety codes, accepted industry standards and internal Atmos Energy practices and procedures.

IF-GU-540a.4 Description of efforts to manage the integrity of gas delivery infrastructure, including risks related to safety and emissions

Atmos Energy is committed to being the safest provider of natural gas. That's why we invest approximately $2.0 billion a year to modernize our pipeline infrastructure.

Our system includes more than 77,000 miles of distribution and transmission pipelines, as well as smaller “service” pipelines that connect directly to homes and businesses. We bury much of our pipe underground, where it is away from weather and activities that commonly cause damage and leaks. Atmos Energy has always had processes and procedures in place to ensure the safety of our distribution and transmission network. During fiscal year 2019, we adopted a Pipeline Safety Management System (PSMS), which formally documents our processes and procedures under a systematic and structured framework that builds on our established pipeline safety programs. PSMS was developed by the American Petroleum Institute and is a recommended practice for the pipeline industry. All Atmos Energy employees play a role in our PSMS through identification, prevention, and remediation of operational safety risks.

Additionally, because third party damage represents one of the greatest threats to distribution systems, Atmos Energy administers a Damage Prevention Ambassador Program that empowers team members to identify and prevent potential digging accidents in the field. In fiscal year 2021, ambassadors inspected more than 37,000 excavation sites helping to prevent many potentially dangerous and costly accidents. Additionally we operate an emergency hotline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to respond and investigate reports of natural gas leaks.

Atmos Energy is committed to practices that reduce methane emissions from our transmission and distribution systems, including infrastructure renewal programs to replace aging steel and cast iron distribution pipelines. Atmos Energy utilizes a number of practices in its day-to-day operations to prevent or reduce methane emissions. Some of the practices include but are not limited to the following:

  • Drawing down transmission line pressure when repairing or working on the pipelines to reduce natural gas released to the atmosphere.
  • Rerouting gas to minimize or prevent venting or blowdowns.
  • Installing pipeline stopples and bypass as necessary to maintain operations and minimize extent of blowdown.
  • Utilizing flares to combust methane instead of releasing methane to the atmosphere.
