• Liberty’s new electric bill design features a “meter bar.” The meter bar includes the current and previous meter reading, and a usage total. Below the meter bar is a section titled Current Charges.In the meter bar, the difference between current and previous reads determines the usage that is displayed in this section of the bill. Current Charges uses AMI interval data to calculate charges.The usage displayed in Current Charges may not be an exact match to usage presented in the meter data section. This is referred to as a rounding variance. The usage data we receive from your AMI meter is rounded to three decimal places. This rounding process can introduce small variances in the recorded consumption.For Time-of-Use customers: The usage we use to calculate your bill comes from interval data. There are 2,880 intervals each day. In a small number of instances, the interval read is not available. When this occurs, the system completes and estimate using the existing data before and after that interval. When these intervals are moved to their time-of-use buckets and totaled for billing purposes, small variances can occur.Please know you are only ever charged for the electricity that you use.
