Levelized Billing Program
No Surprises
Levelized billing is based on a rolling 12-month average. A levelized bill is based on the average of the previous 11 months electricity billing and the current month's billing for the service address. Levelized billing prevents drastic changes in your bill, even in the coldest or hottest months of the year. See below for examples of how levelized bills are calculated.
No Settleup
Because the levelized billing amount is recalculated each month based on a rolling average, the need to settle up balances annually is eliminated. Reconciliation of your account will be necessary only if you move or decide to cancel your participation in the program.

Examples
To arrive at your levelized amount, NOVEC adds your current month's use to your previous 11 months, then divides the total by 12. It is then rounded to the nearest dollar. Example 1 is a sample levelized bill for July, and Example 2 is a sample for August.
