Not according to Mary Neal from Michigan in post number six, where she strongly advises that one should correct their current bill and not wait. For example, what if you use 800KWH in Jan and 800KWH in Feb but get a bill (on Feb 1) that you used 1200KWH in Jan. If you wait until the next bill to correct, it will show you used 400KWH in Feb and will bill you for that. The issue is that if you use over 1000 KWH per month you pay an additional 18% for per KWH than the first 1000KWH. The Feb bill will not make that correction, according to Ms. Neal.
