What is a non-recurring fee?
Non-recurring fees are charges from your local distribution utility, or Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP), such as AEP, and may include such items as a new service initiation fee, a connection fee, a disconnection fee, or a meter-reading fee if you requested that your meter be read outside of your normal billing cycle. These charges are not from CPL but because we are your Retail Electric Provider, we are required to pass these charges through to you. These will be listed separately from the electricity charges on your monthly electric bill. Typical fees and charges may include: A Late Payment Charge of 5%, assessed one time on each delinquent electric service bill. This charge does not apply to the bills of qualified customers receiving a low-income discount or customers in the Southwest Power Pool region.
