| Each meter has a
unique meter number. The current meter reading
minus the previous reading times the multiplier equals kilowatt-hour
usage. The multiplier relates to the calibration of the
meter as it is configured for your particular electrical service requirement. Demand
metered customers are billed for the highest average kilowatt use over
any 15-minute period during the billing cycle. |
If our meter reader
wasn't able to access your meter, an estimate of your usage is made based
on prior average use. Some large commercial services include a power factor
to measure reactive power, which creates the magnetic fields used in engines and lighting
ballasts. This is another component of electricity that requires additional cost that
must be passed along to customers. |
