Understanding your bill | Wyoming dual fuel

Your due date and the amount due are located at the top of the front page, along with your account number and service address.

Easily compare this month’s usage to the same time last year and view reasons why your bill may have changed since last month. Electric and natural gas usage is shown separately.

The billing summary breaks down your charges into five categories that are displayed in a simple, easy-to-read chart.

• Gas delivery: Costs to bring natural gas to your address. This includes the customer fee, which helps to cover the costs of pipelines, technology and equipment required to deliver natural gas service.
• Electric delivery: Costs to bring electricity to your address. This helps to cover the cost of powerlines, technology and equipment required to deliver electric service.
• Electric supply: Market cost of electricity. 
• Gas supply: Market cost of natural gas.
• Taxes: Local and state taxes and fees.
• Other: Credits, adjustments and other charges included in your bill.

In this section you’ll find useful safety information and specific tips to help you save energy and money. 

If paying your bill by mail, detach the bottom of the front page and include this with your check in an envelope.
