Lower Your Water Heating Costs

Service Charge

 

WHAT IS THE "SERVICE AVAILABILITY CHARGE" ON YOUR BILL?

 

The Service Availability Charge is billed each month as a flat fee and does not vary with electric usage. Service Availability Charges are sometimes called service charges, minimum charges, facility charges, base charges or customer charges.

This fixed charge is necessary because GCEA incurs costs regardless of whether any electricity is sold or not. In other words, even if you do not consume any electricity during your billing period, GCEA still has to pay costs associated with meter reading, billing, customer service, property taxes, insurance and in keeping your facilities in place and maintained, ready to serve 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
