G-LtE™: Shocked in Tanner - First Energy Corporation
Dear Editor,
I am a senior citizen on a fixed income as are many residents of Gilmer County. In fact, our county isn’t getting any younger. I’m having a problem with our “newest” utility company, First Energy Corporation.
It seems that since taking over from Mon Power in April 2012, that they have been unable or unwilling to read meters in Gilmer County. My last actual reading in March 2012 resulted in a credit on my April 2012 bill. This was used by First Energy Corp. to compute my bills for one year until my next actual reading in March 2013. This reading resulted in a bill of $908.01. This, I am sure, has happened to others in Gilmer County.
In talking to customer service, I was told that this formulation has not caused any problems. When I mentioned that others have complained, I was told that they have no way to address this concern because they can only see my account. (How convenient!)
Of course, I asked to speak to her supervisor, and I was told that “she’ll just say the same thing.”
I’m asking you to print this letter so that anyone with health concerns or elderly will not be so shocked when they receive their bill for next month’s estimated reading; they might require medical attention. You see, my April 2013 bill was for $729.33, estimated
On Friday, a customer service supervisor called. After explaining my concerns on the formulation of estimates, she acknowledged that “there might be a flaw” in these calculations. She will have someone, a supervisor, from the meter reading department call me. You see, that is the department that formulates the estimated readings.
Still waiting…..

Ms. Williams,
A little known fact is that an estimated bill is just that and legally you can not be made to pay it. Again a little known fact.
The utilities, not just here but in all states, have been utilizing this practice for many years in an effort to save money in the reading of the meters. Those rules are set by each state’s Public Service Commission. In order to allow the practice the PCS has required the utilities to provide the customer with the ability to read their own meter.
I would suggest the following if your meter is only being read once per year.
Do not sign up for their automated payments - these are based upon formulations involving average daily temperatures, your house’s square footage and possibly your past use of the utility. It does not take into account your usage, the fact you may be gone, installed a new a/c, furnace, etc. Since you already are seeing an over-estimation then something is off there.
Make your own reading on the meter, or get someone you trust to do so if that is more than you can do. It is not hard. On the reverse of your bill you will find the process of how to read the meter and also a phone number you can call and give the Representative your actual reading and they will issue a new bill.
If reading once a month is too much, then don’t pay the estimated bill one month and then take an actual reading. They can’t shut your utilities off for not paying for estimated usage that you didn’t use. Just make sure to put the money away for the month you don’t pay.
Eventually two things will occur. They will change your formula based upon the actual readings you provide and they will send a meter reader to confirm your readings are correct. Neither will take a year.
They are not really trying to pull one over on you although it may seem that way. (Now their practices when they had you on the phone were not the best, as if you were upset they should have looked at the formulation, especially based upon the large overpayment.) However they are operating as our PCS has allowed them to based upon their arguments and the PCS Commission’s approval. Since remedies are made available to read your own meter and they are not permitted to cut off someone not paying an estimated bill, it has been a permitted practice for a number of years.

I too am having a problem with the power company not reading meters. Meters are supposed to be read every other month. I live on Rt. 5 West and my electric meter has been read 3 times since March 2012 by the power company. We have read the meter ourselves three times during this period of time, so we will not get huge bills all at one time because of them not doing their jobs. I waited 25 minutes on hold one time I tried to call them to give them the readings. The point is…the meters are NOT being read every other month by the power company. We are not being paid to read our own meters. If we have to read our own meters, then the power company needs to reduce our prices of electric. Some people have told me their meters are only being read 1 time a year and the rest of the time estimated. This is not right. If our bills are underestimated which has happened to many that I have talked to, then when they finally read it the bills are out of sight such as Mrs. Williams. As she said a lot of people live on fixed incomes and cannot afford bills like she got. I tried to avoid this from happening to us and therefore that is why we called ours in three times. I asked them how they would like it if I “estimated” how much I was going to send. Something needs done.
By Margaret Collins on 05.02.2013
As I stated a few days ago, after two years I received an electric bill for $327.00 after calling it in myself. Waited over half hour twice and finally talked with someone to give my reading third call wait of 15 minutes. Well, that was last month. Just received our Energy Power bill for May and now its up to $418.00. Yep, thats right. The bill shows the $327.00 payment, as ‘estimated’.......after I called it in. Now they are showing an ‘estimated’ bill of $418.00. They may be able to produce electric, but they can’t produce a correct billing. Anyone else having problems like this?
Wonder if I will have to call three times to the utility commission to get this resolved?
By Sand Fork resident on 05.04.2013
To: Sand Fork Resident
Even when you call your own meter reading in it will still show as estimated on your next bill. The bill says it should show C for customer reading but it does not. It still shows as estimated unless they come read it. We have read ours three times and it never shows customer. I hate to think what ours would have been if we had not read it. I to had difficulty getting thru to a LIVE person to give the readings. Finally I called the Public Service Commission and told the lady about what was going on and she said give me the reading and I will guarantee I will get it to them. She did. She was very nice and helpful. I suggest you and any one else having the same problem to call the number below and report it to them. Maybe if enough people complain something will be done. Enough is enough.

Gilmer County Commission Special Meeting Report – 04.17.12
The special meeting of the Gilmer County Commission was called to order by Commission President Brian Kennedy.
Commissioners Dave Hess and Darrell Ramsey as well as the County Clerk Jean Butcher and the County Administrator Tim Farmer were present.
Public Comments:
After Pledge of Allegiance, in the Public Comment section of the meeting, G. Dave Ramezan from The Gilmer Free Press and Dendra Miller from Glenville Democrat questioned the Commissioners about the Gilmer County Schools project proposals to West Virginia Schools Building Authority (WV SBA).
• Commissioners were asked about the funding proposals and the local funding portion of the project:
Commissioner Brian Kennedy said at times the county has helped with some projects and if it can be done he would be for it.
Commissioner Darrell Ramsey, looking at the financial report, indicated the county does not have any money to allocate for anything and Commissioner Dave Hess agreed with him.
• They were then asked whether they would support any type of Bond for this project like they did for the college dorm project:
Commissioner Ramsey said the county is already maxed out and they cannot do it even if they wanted to.
• The next question was about the commission’s position regarding the two new schools projects, whether it was OK for Troy students to go to Lewis County and Rosedale area student to Braxton County:
Commissioner Kennedy was against fixing the current schools and noted eventually all the county lines will be dissolved and therefore he did not see any problem. Commissioner Ramsey did not agree with Commissioner Kennedy and thought more study is needed. Commissioner Ramsey said, the Troy students can go to Glenville Elementary like they did at the beginning of the year. He said the school can support the number of students and there will be less loss of jobs. Commissioner Ramsey said he prefers that over the proposed Linn School.
• Tax issues and funding was the next question:
Commissioners said the Gilmer County taxes will stay the same when the students go to other counties even though the other counties get the funding for the students.
• After Commissioner Kennedy said the education of kids was important to him and it did not matter to him whether Rosedale area went to Braxton County, Troy area went to Lewis County, Tanner area went to Calhoun County, or some went to Ritchie County; Commissioners were asked whether it was good for Gilmer Counties Economic Development since the school situation is a loss for Gilmer County and gain for other counties. They were asked why they think it was OK for Gilmer County to keep losing to other counties:
The answer was simply a look!
Extension Office – Toiletry Supplies:
Since the County Extension Office is forced to move to Gilmer County Recreation Center, the extension office asked about the Toiletry Supplies since it was not in their budget. The supplies were provided at Courthouse Annex by the county.
The County Commission by law has to provide the space for Extension Office. The Extension office thanked the County Commission for having done more than it is required by law. The County Commission thanked the Extension Service for doing all they do for the County.
After extensive discussion the Commissioners voted to provide the Toiletry Supplies for the Extension office at the Recreation Center.
Sexual Assault Proclamation:
After a presentation by Kayla Smith, the Commission signed a proclamation to call April Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Gilmer County Office of Emergency Services - EMPG Grant:
Suzie Kirkpatrick, the GCOES director, presented the Commissioner with recently approved grants and the matching portion of the grant to be paid by the county.
Commission approved the grant. However, they noted the GCOES must include the entire grant in their budget since the County has to pay for it before the matching portion is obtained.
Budget Revisions/Control Report:
Reports were presented by the County Bookkeeper for approval of some revisions in the budget. Reports were approved.
Approval of the minutes of the County Commission:
The previous minutes were approved without any change.
Policy for Picking up Dogs:
The current policy for City of Glenville is if the dog which is not on leash and is caught, the fee is $20.00 and $5.00 per day.
However, there is no policy for county for any dog which is not on leash. But if the dog owners want to get rid of their dog the fee approved by the Commission is one time $50.00.
Establishing a Building Commission:
John Isenhart and Cindy Wilson were approved for the 911 building project.
Support for Litter Clean-Up:
It was approved to provide a dumpster for county clean-up
The Computer and Electronic cleanup is from 9:00 AM- 4:00 PM on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at the lot adjacent to Glenville Inn.
Lay the Fire/EMS Levy:
Proposed rates were approved by the state.
Special County Meeting:
A meeting is planned for Friday, May 18, 2012 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM to discuss various County issues.
All public is invited to attend.
Commission President Brian Kennedy said the main food is provided and everyone is asked to bring a covered dish.
More information about the meeting will be provided at a later time.
Finally, the Commissioners discussed the upcoming election and the additional cost associated with it to the county as the result of redistricting.
Now the county has to have different ballots for different parts of the county.
In addition they have to provide the staff for two additional precincts as well as having to purchase additional voting machines and all other equipment needed for these precincts.
In particular it was mentioned that publishing the ballots in newspaper costs $16,399.62. Overall the redistricting will cost the county an additional ~$30,000.00.
