What every charge on your AES Ohio bill means

AES Ohio bills separate delivery — what AES Ohio charges to move electricity over its wires — from supply/generation, the cost of the energy itself, which may come from AES Ohio's Standard Service Offer or from a Certified Retail Electric Supplier you chose. Here's what each line means.

Customer Charge
A fixed monthly delivery charge that covers the cost of connecting your service to AES Ohio's grid — the meter, billing, and basic account service — regardless of how much electricity you use. It appears under the AES Ohio Delivery Charges section of the bill.
Distribution Charge
The per-kWh (and, on demand-metered commercial accounts, per-kW) cost of moving electricity over AES Ohio's local poles, wires, and transformers to your location. This is part of delivery, which AES Ohio always provides and bills even when a competitive supplier generates your power.
Delivery riders (DIR, infrastructure)
A set of rate riders approved by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) that recover specific delivery-side costs — for example the Distribution Investment Rider (DIR) and grid infrastructure programs. They sit within the AES Ohio Delivery Charges total rather than the supply side.
Supply / Generation charges
The cost of the electricity you actually used, billed per kWh. If you take AES Ohio's default service this is the Standard Service Offer (SSO) price; if you signed up with a Certified Retail Electric Supplier (CRES) through Ohio's retail-choice program, that supplier's rate appears here instead. Either way it is shown apart from delivery as Supply Total Billed This Month.
KW Demand charges
On commercial and industrial accounts, AES Ohio meters your peak demand in kilowatts (kW), not just energy. The bill shows Current KW Demand (this period's measured peak) and Billed KW Demand (the value used for billing, sometimes ratcheted from prior months), and applies a $/kW demand charge on the delivery side.
Ohio kWh tax
A state excise tax on electricity distribution, charged per kilowatt-hour and tiered by monthly usage. It is a pass-through collected by AES Ohio on behalf of the State of Ohio and appears as its own line on the bill.
Meter reads & historical usage
Not a charge, but the section listing your meter number, previous and current reads, the resulting kWh, and an historical average usage figure for comparison. This is where the meter reads UtilityBillReader extracts come from.

Frequently asked questions

Is AES Ohio the same as Dayton Power & Light (DP&L)?

Yes. AES Ohio is the current name of the utility formerly known as Dayton Power & Light (DP&L), serving the Dayton and Miami Valley region of Ohio. Older bills may still carry the DP&L name and layout — UtilityBillReader reads both the current AES Ohio format and legacy DP&L bills.

My AES Ohio bill splits delivery charges from supply charges — does UtilityBillReader read both?

Yes. AES Ohio shows AES Ohio Delivery Charges (Customer Charge, distribution, riders) separately from Supply/Generation charges, with a Delivery Total Billed This Month and a Supply Total Billed This Month. UtilityBillReader captures both sides plus the overall Amount Due, so the split is preserved in your CSV.

I buy my electricity from a competitive supplier (CRES) — does that confuse the extraction?

No. Under Ohio's retail-choice program (Energy Choice Ohio), your generation can come from a Certified Retail Electric Supplier while AES Ohio still bills delivery. UtilityBillReader reads the consolidated bill as a whole, capturing the supplier name, the supply rate, and the AES Ohio delivery charges so nothing is lost.

What is the difference between Current KW Demand and Billed KW Demand?

Current KW Demand is the peak kilowatt demand AES Ohio measured this billing period; Billed KW Demand is the value actually used to calculate your demand charge, which on some rates is ratcheted from a prior month's peak. UtilityBillReader captures the demand value present on the bill so commercial demand charges reconcile.

I run a business — does UtilityBillReader handle KW demand and commercial bills?

Yes. UtilityBillReader fully supports AES Ohio commercial bills, including peak demand in kW, the commercial rate and service class, the delivery-versus-supply split, and the full cost and billing breakdown.

Does UtilityBillReader capture how much electricity I used?

Yes — your total usage for the billing period in kWh, the previous and current meter reads, and whether the read was actual or estimated. It also captures the historical average usage figure AES Ohio prints for comparison.

What format do I get back?

Two downloads off the same extraction. A base CSV gives you one row per meter or service with a column for every field — utility, account, addresses, billing period, usage, demand, delivery and supply cost, and rate — and opens directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any accounting tool. An advanced Excel (.xlsx) workbook adds a second sheet of per-line charge detail (delivery riders, supplier splits, the Ohio kWh tax) keyed back to the first sheet so you can reconcile or pivot without losing structure.

Can I convert several bills at once?

Yes. Upload multiple bills — a year of statements, or bills across several properties — and get them back in one structured file, one row per meter. This is the common workflow for bookkeepers and property managers reconciling utility costs in bulk.

How accurate is UtilityBillReader?

Every extraction returns a confidence score and flags anything worth a second look, such as a bill covering multiple meters. UtilityBillReader lays each field out next to a clear label so it's quick to check the output against your original AES Ohio bill, and the confidence score tells you where to look first.

Do I need an account, and is UtilityBillReader really free?

You can convert your first 5 pages every day with no account — just upload and download. Paid plans add higher volumes for regular or bulk use, but there's no signup wall to try UtilityBillReader or handle a one-off AES Ohio bill.

Does UtilityBillReader work on my phone?

Yes. UtilityBillReader works in your phone's browser, so you can convert a bill from a photo or PDF without being at a computer.

What file types can I upload, and is my data secure?

PDF bills, digital or scanned, including multi-page bills in a single upload. Files uploaded without an account are deleted within 24 hours rather than stored indefinitely; account uploads follow your plan's retention window.

Use cases

Bookkeeping & accounting

Pull the Amount Due, billing period, and the delivery-versus-supply charge breakdown straight into a CSV ready to import into Xero or QuickBooks, instead of keying utility expenses by hand.

Tenant rebilling

Property managers splitting a master AES Ohio bill across tenants can extract usage and cost per meter and produce a clean per-tenant breakdown for cost recovery.

ESG & Scope 2 reporting

Extract actual kWh as activity data for greenhouse-gas accounting under the GHG Protocol — more accurate than estimating emissions from the dollar amount alone.

Usage & demand analysis

Compare total kWh and Billed KW demand across months to track how your usage, peak demand, and supply rate change over time — useful when shopping CRES supplier offers.
