Energy consumption is correlated with the prevailing temperatures. Therefore, in the new bill, KE has included the average monthly temperature of the current month (e.g. March 2018), previous month (e.g. Feb 2018) and the same month last year (e.g. March 2017) along with the units consumed to help consumers track and manage their consumption better.

In the revamped bill, KE includes unit-wise energy consumption for:

  • Previous month
  • Same month in the Previous year
  • Previous 13 months

Knowing your historical energy consumption will allow you to anticipate and manage your energy usage better. It will also allow you to interpret your bill according to your consumption.

The Billing Charge Mode (BCM) states whether the consumer has been charged on actual meter reading or on estimation. There are 4 billing charge modes, namely: Normal, Average, Detection and Adjustment. The BCM is mentioned at the back of the bill under ‘Your Current Bill Calculation’ along with Meter Number and Meter Reading Date. Please refer to Section 12 of Important Guidelines for Customers at the back of the bill for BCM.

The Account number is the single most important reference number for consumers and needs to be provided as a prerequisite for all interactions with KE. Through this number, we can access your customer account details and thus provide faster, personalised service. The Contract number and Consumer number are relevant for internal use only by K-Electric and its vendors.

It stands for Meter Multiplying Factor and is specific for large industrial customers only. The meters used for such consumers also include Current Transformer (CT). When the meter ratio is different from CT ratio, then both are divided to arrive at MMF which is multiplied by the meter reading to record the actual consumption.

It stands for Maximum Demand Indicator which means the maximum energy utilisation in the given month. Where applicable, it states the maximum load that is obtained in any month measured over intervals of 30 minutes each.

The billing statement acts as a reconciliation statement from previous to current amount payable. It shows customers their outstanding dues (if any), their recent transactions including any payments made, amount for their current month’s consumption and the total payment due.
