Check your CMLP bill to see the type of commercial customer you are, which is based on the maximum electric demand at that service address:

  • Small commercial customers (G1) demand up to 20 kW every month
  • Medium commercial customers (G2) demand from 20 to 200 kW per month
  • Large commercial customers (G3) demand more than 200 kW at least one month of the year
