What Is the Service Availability Charge on My Bill?
The Service Availability charge is a monthly fee charged per meter and is not dependent on how much energy you use. It is designed to pay for the transformers, poles, lines, breakers, vegetation management and maintenance/repair cost associated with having electricity available to you. This is your minimum bill before you ever use one kWh of electricity.
