How is the Efficiency Long Island charge on my bill calculated?
Each year, the Trustees establish the rate, in cents per kilowatt-hour, and on each bill you will be charged that rate times the number of kilowatt-hours on that bill. How much you pay depends on how much you use, but the charge is very small for the typical residential user. This year we are proposing an increase from 0.48 per kWh to 0.58 per kWh in 2011. For the typical residential customer that uses 775 kilowatt-hours per month, the ELI charge would be less than $4.50 per month.
