Street/Security Lighting
Like every other business, we understand the importance of
effectively managing the rising costs of doing business.
Every day, we work hard to identify ways to be more efficient
and improve our productivity to keep our costs fair and
reasonable without sacrificing the safety and reliability
of the electric service your community needs.
Your bill separates and identifies all components of
your electricity costs and helps you see exactly where
your charges come from. Our step-by-step guide
can walk you through a sample bill of itemized charges to
pinpoint items that affect your energy costs.
The delivery charges on your bill are for costs associated
with the services WMECo provides to you, including delivering
the electricity to your home across our poles and wires,
maintenance and operations of the distribution system,
billing, meter reading, and customer support
and service. The tariff for your
rate class will provide a
full itemization of these charges.
As a result of restructuring, electricity is
purchased as a commodity on the competitive market.
WMECo incurs these costs from the providers of service
and passes them on to customers.
The Supplier Service Detail section indicates the entity
from whom you have chosen to purchase your electricity and
the charges from this supplier (assuming you do not receive
a separate bill from your supplier). If you have chosen
WMECo, the provision of electricity is called Basic Service,
and the rate is shown in the Summary of Electric Rates
(PDF:19KB). Basic Service can be a
fixed rate for six months or vary from month-to-month.
You can choose either option. If you do not choose, you
receive the fixed rate.
