What every charge on your Mon Power bill means
Mon Power is a bundled, regulated West Virginia utility — one bill covers both the electricity you used and delivering it, with no separate competitive supplier line. Charges appear under "Charges From Mon Power." Here's what each line means.
Base Charge
A fixed monthly charge that covers the cost of connecting your service to Mon Power's grid — the meter, billing, and basic account service — regardless of how much electricity you use. It's the same each month for a given rate class and doesn't change with your kWh.
Energy / consumption charge
The per-kWh cost of the electricity you actually used. Because West Virginia is a bundled, regulated market with no retail choice, this charge covers both generation (producing the power) and delivery (moving it over the wires) — there is no separate competitive supplier line on a Mon Power bill. It's calculated as your kWh used multiplied by the approved rate.
Environmental Control Charge
A per-kWh charge that recovers the cost of equipment and programs Mon Power uses to meet environmental and emission-control requirements at its generating plants. It is set through the West Virginia Public Service Commission and shows on most Mon Power bills.
Demand charge
On commercial General Service rate classes (such as MP-GSCF), Mon Power may bill for your peak demand — the highest rate of electricity draw during the period, measured in kilowatts (kW) — in addition to total energy. Residential and small accounts usually have no demand charge. UtilityBillReader captures peak demand in kW where it appears.
Local Tax Surcharge
A surcharge that passes through municipal or county taxes Mon Power collects on the energy delivered within certain jurisdictions. It is typically billed per kWh and varies by where the service address sits.
Local Tax / municipal B&O tax
A flat or percentage-based local tax — often a municipal business and occupation (B&O) tax — applied to the service. Unlike the surcharge above, this line is usually a fixed amount or a percentage of charges rather than a per-kWh rate.
Meter reads & read type (Bill Based On)
Not a charge, but the section that drives them. Mon Power shows your previous and current KWH readings, the KWH used, your average daily use, and a "Bill Based On" note stating whether the reading was Actual or Estimated. UtilityBillReader extracts the reads, the kWh used, and the read type so you can confirm what the charges were calculated from.
Final and estimated bills
When you close an account, Mon Power issues a final bill based on a final meter reading; when a meter can't be read, it issues an estimated bill that is trued up at the next actual read. UtilityBillReader records whether a bill is actual, estimated, or final so estimated periods don't quietly skew your usage history.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose my electricity supplier on a Mon Power bill?
No. West Virginia is a bundled, regulated market with no retail energy choice, so Mon Power (Monongahela Power Company) provides both the generation and the delivery on a single bill — there is no separate competitive supplier line to read. UtilityBillReader captures the bundled energy charge, base charge, and rate class as one consolidated statement.
What does "Bill Based On: Actual" or "Estimated" mean, and does UtilityBillReader capture it?
Mon Power notes whether each statement is based on an actual meter reading, an estimated reading (when the meter couldn't be read), or a final reading when an account closes. UtilityBillReader extracts that read type along with the previous and current KWH readings and the KWH used, so an estimated period won't quietly distort your usage history.
Mon Power is a FirstEnergy company — does UtilityBillReader read other FirstEnergy bills too?
Yes. Mon Power and Potomac Edison are FirstEnergy's West Virginia utilities, and the same bill conventions appear across the FirstEnergy family — Penelec, Met-Ed, West Penn Power, Penn Power, Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Company, Toledo Edison, and Jersey Central Power & Light. UtilityBillReader reads the shared FirstEnergy bill layout, so you can process bills from several of these utilities together.
Does UtilityBillReader capture how much electricity I used?
Yes — your total KWH used for the billing period, the previous and current meter readings, the average daily use where shown, and whether the read was actual or estimated. UtilityBillReader reports the period total as it appears on the bill.
What is the Environmental Control Charge on my Mon Power bill?
It's a per-kWh charge approved by the West Virginia Public Service Commission that recovers the cost of emission-control equipment and programs at Mon Power's generating plants. UtilityBillReader captures it as part of the full charge breakdown so you can see it separately from the base and energy charges.
I run a business — does UtilityBillReader handle demand charges and commercial General Service bills?
Yes. UtilityBillReader fully supports Mon Power commercial bills, including General Service rate classes like MP-GSCF, peak demand in kW, the rate class, and the full cost and billing breakdown. If a statement covers multiple meters or sites, each comes back as its own row.
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 and invoice number, addresses, billing period, usage, cost, and rate class — 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 (energy, demand, environmental control, individual taxes) 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 Mon Power costs in bulk.
How accurate is UtilityBillReader?
Every extraction returns a confidence score and flags anything worth a second look, such as an estimated read or 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 Mon Power 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 Mon Power 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 total, billing period, and charge breakdown straight into a CSV ready to import into Xero or QuickBooks, instead of keying Mon Power utility expenses by hand.
Multi-site retail & commercial
Businesses running several West Virginia locations on Mon Power can extract usage and cost per account and meter, producing a clean per-site breakdown for budgeting and cost allocation.
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 analysis
Compare total kWh, demand, and the cost breakdown across months to see how your usage and bill change over time — and to spot estimated reads that need truing up.
