Meter
Reading Info & Schedules
BGE is
responsible for reading the customer's meter. In the event an
actual meter reading cannot be obtained, BGE shall estimate the
customer's consumption for billing purposes for the applicable
period in accordance with the
BGE Retail Electric Service Tariff and
with PSC regulations. BGE will normally provide the electricity
supplier with actual or estimated meter read data within 72 hours of
the Meter Read Date via Commission approved standards.
For informational purposes, BGE will perform an off-cycle
meter read for a fee in accordance with Schedule 1 of the
BGE Electricity Supplier Coordination Tariff. However, this meter read is for
informational purposes only and will not impact the meters' regular
bill schedule or a customer's switch.
The following occurrences may result in delays or changes
to meter read dates and/or the conveyance of meter information.
-
Account Terminations -
If a customer
account is terminated, the meter read date may be adjusted. In such
cases, the meter read data will normally be sent within 72 hours of
the actual meter read date.
-
Customer Requests -
Whenever
possible, BGE accommodates customer requests that they not be billed
based on estimated meter reads. In such cases, meter read data will
normally be provided within 72 hours of the first available actual
meter read.
BGE has made the following meter reading schedules available for
review by clicking on the links below. These schedules are
provided to assist
electricity
suppliers in determining when a customer enrollment or drop will be
effective for an individual account.
In order to determine an account's Meter Bill Group, a
secured area of
this web site (CDWeb Access) has been created for accessing restricted customer and BGE information. A user ID and a password are needed to gain access
to this area. Additional information about this secured area can
be found by going to the
Customer Consumption Data section of this web site.
Please be aware that BGE may
periodically change an account's Meter Bill Group in order to improve
the effectiveness of gathering meter readings. It is strongly
recommended that
electricity
suppliers obtain the most current Meter Bill Group
for an account before sending BGE an enrollment or drop.
