Informational Bills Continue
As November
comes to a close it is a good time to again discuss the matter of the coming
change in the way our electric rates work.
During the
last couple of weeks all EPB electric customers should have gotten an
informational paper bill which was sent out separately from the regular
billing. This paper bill represented a comparison to the actual billing each
customer got for their October usage. The bill used actual October usage for
each customer and provided information about how their October bill would have
looked under the new 2106 rates.
Nothing about
this informational bill should be seen as a fixed result. The information was
for October consumption, and most folks who saw an increase in the bill
compared to the actual bill can change that by simply trying to reduce their
usage during the monthly peak hour (coincident peak demand). Everyone will not
be able to save money using this tactic, but many can.
Over the next
few weeks everyone will get another informational bill which uses the new rates
applied to November electric power usage. We plan to do this again for December
consumption as well. In this fashion, everyone will get three informational
bills which will provide comparison bills for October, November, and December.
It is our hope that these examples will help all EPB electric customers become
familiar with this new way of purchasing energy.
If the
informational bills do not answer all questions, then there are other ways to
do so. We created www.infotricity.net just for the purpose of answering
questions on the new rate. We also created the Infotricity Energy Portal https://portal.glasgow-ky.com/ so that every single electric meter
in Glasgow can be monitored by the account holder in real time so long as they
have internet access. In fact, the portal has a bill comparison feature that
will allow customers to compare their bills under the new rate to their bills
under the old rate for a full year. The very best customized information for
all of our electric customers can be obtained by signing up for the Infotricity
Energy Portal site and visiting it often.
