Want to Save on Your Electric Bill? Start with These 2 Numbers

At APG&E, we believe energy should be simple, affordable, and on your terms. That’s why we’re sharing a quick tip to help you take control of your energy costs by understanding just two key numbers on your electric bill. 

Your Energy Usage (kWh)

Your electricity usage is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh), and this number shows how much energy you actually used during your billing cycle. The more kWh you use, the higher your bill will be. 

Knowing your usage gives you a clear baseline. From there, you can: 

• Spot trends, like spikes during the summer when your A/C is running 

• Make small changes, such as adjusting your thermostat or switching to LED bulbs 

• Track your savings from month to month 

 Tip: You can log in to your APG&E account to review your monthly usage and see how your habits affect your bill. 

Your Price per kWh

This is the rate you're charged for each unit of electricity. If you’re on a fixed-rate plan, that price stays the same throughout your contract. If you're on a variable plan, the rate can change based on the market. 

Understanding your price per kWh helps you: 

• Compare your current rate to other available plans 

• Decide whether now is a good time to lock in a long-term plan 

• Estimate your monthly bill based on your usage
