    Explanation of Billing Terms

    • Customer Charge: The fixed monthly basic distribution charge to partially cover costs for billing, meter reading, service line maintenance and equipment.
    • Delivery Charge: Charges to recover various costs associated with electric operations, equipment, and Ohio energy-related programs.
    • Estimated Reading (EST or E): On the months we do not read your meter, we calculate your bill based on your past usage. Adjustments may be needed later when we take an actual meter reading. If you would like to read your own meter to avoid estimated bills, call the AES Ohio customer service number on the front of the bill with your meter reading.
    • Kilowatt-Hour (kWh): The unit measure of electricity. For example, you use one kilowatt-hour of electricity to light a 100-watt bulb for 10 hours.
    • Late Payment Charge: A 1.5% late charge added to the overdue amount if you do not pay your bill by the due date for prompt payment.
    • Price-to-Compare: The price for an electric supplier to beat in order for you to save money. You can use this amount to compare prices offered by suppliers. The value on your bill is shown for one month; you should consider and evaluate your usage and charges over a 12 month period.
    • Supply Charge: Charges associated with the generation of electricity including market-based transmission and ancillary services.
