Electricity billing refers to the process by which utility companies charge customers for their electricity usage. Each month, a meter measures the amount of electricity consumed, usually in kilowatt-hours (kWh). The utility company then calculates the total cost based on the rate per kWh, which can vary depending on the time of day or season. Customers receive a bill that details their usage, the rate applied, and any additional fees or taxes. Understanding electricity rates and billing cycles can help consumers manage their energy costs more effectively and identify ways to reduce their consumption.
