OUR ELECTRIC BILL'S MOST IMPORTANT CONTENT ITEM....

"The average price you paid for electric service this month", expressed as a cents per kilowatt-hour amount rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one cent, is this new content item. 

This exact worded statement is now required for all residential and small business monthly electricity bill statements.  Find the statement and highlight the number.  Compare it to your kWh rate charge.  You may be surprised. 

Computation of the average price figure is standardized by the PUC and the rule is applicable to all REPS.  All costs for your service are included, less taxes.  This new rule is an outstanding consumer protection measure.
