      Good Afternoon Richard, We are aware of a delay in billing that has impacted our customers. This was caused by a technical system issue. While data from customer meters is being gathered as usual, a technical system issue has made the data temporarily unavailable. Impacted customers will receive bills with their actual amounts due next month. When you receive this bill, if you need a due date extension or help paying this bill, please read more under http://www.pplelectric.com/paybill. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

      I am now being billed on a 61 day billing cycle instead of the usual 30 day billing cycle. Why????? Called customer service and was on hold for an HOUR and still no service rep on the line and couldn’t wait any longer. Why is billing cycle changed from 30 days to 60 days???

    My electric usage doubled in January…I find this very hard to believe. Something is wrong here. Never have I seen a complete doubling of electricity usage…..anyone else noticing this?

    your rates are out of line. I live alone and am away most of the day and my bill is over 400.00 for three months now. Why?

    I just had a phone conversation about my auto pay date. I offered to take the survey after the call. The call went fairly well, but I instead of the survey I got a message of an error and the call ended. I am curious if the agent was uncomfortable with the call if they could have caused the survey not to come on. BTW, the issue was I asked for the autopay to occur on the 1st of the month (after my annuity deposit of the end of the proceeding month). Sometime the pay occurs before the first – and this month causing an overdraft. No harm, but a bit of a nuisance. Thanks
