Does CenterPoint Energy simply adjust the number of days to make sure that the total usage is elevated to a higher tier cost?
CenterPoint Energy attempts to read customer meters so that the billing period is as close to 30 days as practical. However, due to holidays, weekends and sometimes inclement weather billing periods may be longer or shorter than 30 days. For these reasons, a bill period from 25 to 35 days is not uncommon.
