Levelized Billing is designed to help households manage their electricity expenses by smoothing out the fluctuations in monthly bills that can occur due to varying usage.
Key Features of Levelized Billing
- Average Billing: Your monthly bill is calculated based on the average electricity usage and costs from the previous twelve months, reducing the impact of seasonal variations.
- Monthly Adjustments: Although your bills will be close to the same amount each month, you may see adjustments based on your actual usage. If you exceed or fall below your average usage in a given month, the excess or deficit will be factored into subsequent bills.
- Financial Planning: This billing method is particularly beneficial for households that experience significant fluctuations in energy bills, as it allows for more predictable monthly expenses.
To qualify for Levelized Billing, customers typically must meet the following criteria:
- Good Credit History: You must have a history of timely payments.
- Timely Payments: You must pay your bills by the due date consistently to remain eligible for Levelized Billing.
- Residential Consumers: This program is available only to residential customers.
