average billing program
To manage high winter or summer bills, ask us about our Bill Averaging Program This allows our customer the option of changing from our regular billing to a rolling twelve-month average, which will be adjusted monthly to reflect the average of the last twelve months.
Why does my bill card look different?
On your bill card you will notice the words Actual Bill, AMP Bill, and AMP Reserve.
- Actual Bill - is your actual usage and the actual cost of that usage.
- AMP Bill - is the rolling twelve-month average produced by our Average Billing Program.
- AMP Reserve - This figure shows you how much debt is left in your AMP account or how much of a credit you have collected.
Why is my AMP Bill more than my Actual Bill?
- Depending on your individual usage pattern your AMP Bill will be either more or less than your Actual Bill. At times of high usage your AMP Bill will be less than your Actual Bill and the excess debt will be placed in your AMP Reserve account. At times of low usage your AMP Bill will be more than your Actual Bill and the excess monies will begin paying on your AMP Reserve debt. This allows our customers to budget for an average utility payment each month without the irregularities experienced with normal billing.
