How We Track Electricity Usage
About once a month, AEP Ohio reads your meter to track your electricity usage and calculate your bill amount. If we're unable to read your meter, perhaps due to bad weather, a meter that's locked inside, or an angry pet, we estimate that month's usage based on seasonal data and your usage history. We then readjust your bill amount at the next actual reading.

You, too, can track your energy usage throughout the month. View the fact sheet below to learn how to read your meter and calculate the number of kilowatt hours you've used over a period of time.
