Each household has an energy meter. A representative of the company visits the house and records the usage total on it. The previous amount on the meter is deducted from the new one, to give the usage since the last check. This value is then multiplied by the unit cost for the electricity and any extras are added (late fees, administration/billing costs, outstanding debts or credits, etc.). The bill is then sent to the appropriate household.
