Glossary of Billing Rate Terms
Availability Charge – This is the monthly charge for having electric service available. This is also the minimum monthly bill if no kWh is used. This charge includes investment related costs including poles, wire, transformers and meters at the service location. In addition, expense related costs such as maintenance of investment, billing, collections and customer information are included.
Demand Charge – Some meters are equipped to measure the amount of electricity (kW) demanded at any point in time. The maximum demand during the billing period determines the billing demand for that period. The kW demand times the rate equals the demand charge. The demand rate includes demand costs Ozark Electric pays to its power supplier (KAMO Electric).
Energy Charge – All the meters we use are equipped to measure the kWh consumed during the billing period. The kWh times the rate equals the energy charge. The energy rate includes
kW (kilowatt) – 1,000 watts of energy. For example, a 100 watt light bulb demands 100 watts of energy (0.1 kW) when the switch is turned on.
kWh (kilowatt hour) – 1,000 watts of energy used over a time period of one hour. For example, a 100 watt light bulb burns for 10 hours equals 1 kWh.
