Monthly credits on your electric bill
- The Meter Department collects meter/interval data with a special recording meter.
- Once a control date occurs, the date and time are entered, and the credit demand for the month is calculated. If there are no controls, then no report is issued.
- The average weekday billing demand for non-control days is calculated for each 15-minute period of the day.
- The 15-minute period is subtracted from the non-control period. The difference, if greater than zero, is the amount of transferred load.
- Credit demand is calculated by adding transferred kilowatts for each 15 minute period during the control and dividing the number of periods (less than two periods for each control.
- A validation report also checks the data for accuracy.
- You earn credits whether or not there are controls during a business cycle.
- If a billing cycle has one or more controls, credit demand for the month is averaged with the customer’s previous 11-month credit history. The customer receives $3.50 credit per averaged kilowatt on the next bill.
- If there are no controls during a billing cycle, the customers billing credit is the average of the past 12 months credit history.
