How To Read Your Meter

Cornhusker Power customers live over a widely scattered area and it is not economically possible for an employee to read each rural meter. To keep operating expenses to a minimum, we ask that each customer read their meter the first of every month. However, Cornhusker employees read meters where there is a large concentration of homes (see notation on your bill) and for some industrial and commercial customers.

Bills are mailed at the end of every month. After reading your meter on the FIRST of the month, you can:

  1. Mail - Accurately record the reading on the bill stub and return the stub with the reading to the office with payment of the previous month's bill.
  2. E-mail - Submit meter reading on-line (above). The meter reading that you submit is used to compute the next bill for service.
  3. Phone - Phone the meter reading to Cornhusker Power Billing department at (402) 564-2821 or (800) 955-2773. Please have your account number ready when reporting the reading by phone.

Prompt reading of your meter will prevent inconsistent or estimated billings. When a reading is not received by the 12th of the month, an estimate is based on the past three months' usage. After three months of estimating, a Cornhusker Power employee must drive to the meter and read it. A fee of $20 is then added to the following month's bill.

Read your meter on the first of every month. Here's how:

Cylometer - This meter has actual numbers in the squares. Simply enter the numbers exactly as you see them on the meter.

Dial Meter - This meter reads the dials from left to right. On each dial, read the lowest number to which the dial hand points. For example, if the pointer is between 6 and 7, read 6; if between 0 and 1, read 0; if between 9 and 0, read 9.
