About Our Old Bill
Our service bills are "unbundled," or itemized. Your total bill is broken out into separate line items for various services so you can see the costs for such services. The image of a 'sample' bill is shown below as an example with an explanation of the charges immediately following. To view current prices, please review Service Rates and Supply Costs. Any charges are only illustrative examples and are not a forecast of the market price.
Delivery Services
All customers are billed these charges even if they buy their electricity from an alternative energy supplier.
You can shop for an alternate supplier, for this portion of your service. View the most current list of energy suppliers in our Energy Choice section.
Charges shown in this area of the bill can be for our energy supply service (Standard Offer Service or Last Resort Service) or another supplier's charges in which utilize our billing services. In the later case, the bill will note your chosen supplier.
If you do not choose an energy supplier, we will continue to supply your energy until you select an energy supplier. To view our prices for supply service, visit Supply Costs.
