Why cant you just base my rebate on my actual consumption, instead of the average residential consumption?
Natural gas consumers know exactly how much energy they consume in a rebate monthnatural gas consumption is metered and is on consumers bills. But for propane, kerosene and heating oil consumers, actual consumption is more difficult to determine, because the fuel is not necessarily delivered or purchased each month. Using the annual rebate rate provides a basis for residential consumers of these fuels to receive a rebate based on an estimate of their consumption during the winter rebate months. These consumers can choose which method works best for them.
