Electricity Bill
An electricity bill is a statement you receive monthly from your electricity provider, showing how much you have to pay for the electricity you use. The bill reflects the amount of electricity you have used (measured in kilowatt-hours, kWh), the rate you are charged per unit of electricity, and some additional charges such as taxes. In this you are given a due date, you have to pay your bill before that date so that you can avoid late fees.
