If your bill is estimated, this indicates we could not obtain a meter reading to determine your actual electric usage. This sometimes happens when your meter is being read during bad weather that affects communications equipment. If an actual reading cannot be obtained, UI estimates your electric usage based on your usage history. UI will adjust for any differences between the actual and estimated readings when the next meter reading is obtained (typically the following month).

Since deregulation, UI customer bills have changed. Many charges are now itemized so you can see the actual cost of the service or the product. Key line items are UI's delivery service charge and the cost of the electricity provided by UI. Other charges, mandated by the state of CT for a variety of programs, make up your entire monthly bill.

Learn more about your bill

The 1st step to understanding your bill is to identify the key components that make up your bill. Since deregulation, UI customer bills have changed and now, many charges are listed separately so you can see the actual cost of the different components that comprise your bill.
