A meter reading will occur at least once each day to determine your electric usage. The kWh consumed, as determined by the meter reading, is multiplied by the kWh rates, including the Power Cost Adjustment (Schedule PCA). This amount is added to other applicable daily usage charges to determine the cost of the electric service used by you that day. A pro-rated amount for monthly charges, such as the Facility Fee, and applicable taxes are then added to the cost of electric service used by you that day, resulting in the total amount of your electric bill for that day. This daily total amount will then be withdrawn from the balance in your Prepaid Billing account.
At the end of each billing cycle, total monthly charges shall be calculated as if the Member were served on the standard residential schedule. Any difference in the standard residential schedule charges and the cumulative prepaid daily charges shall be reconciled and added to or deducted from the Prepayment Balance at the next Account Calculation.
In the event a daily meter reading is not available for one or more days due to communications issues with the AMI system, communications issues with your AMI meter, or other reasons beyond the control of the Cooperative, no bill will be generated for that day or days, but instead, a cumulative bill will be generated for the period that daily meter readings were not available in the manner described above, and the amount of this cumulative bill will then be withdrawn from the balance of your Prepaid Billing account.
Prepaid Billing is subject to all charges applicable to the conventional billing, except that there are no late or disconnect charges for Prepaid Billing accounts.
