These standards include regular meter readings, billing transparency, maintaining customer billing records, and limiting estimated billing to six consecutive periods. The division must consider existing utility tariffs and advanced metering technology when setting these standards. The bill also allows utilities to seek a waiver for billing beyond two months after using estimated bills for six months.
