Blue Ridge Energy provides usage visibility through its free Usage Tracker tool in the portal and mobile app. Daily kWh is shown with hourly drill-down on any selected day, alongside high/low temperature context. Standardized interval downloads at 15- or 30-minute granularity are not exposed to customers.

Blue Ridge separates each demand-billed C&I rate into distribution service and wholesale power supply components, each carrying its own demand and tiered energy charges. Schedule GS (non-demand) is best for small commercial loads under 25 kW, while Schedule LP captures most mid-size C&I members above 25 kW. Larger industrial loads move to Schedule I, with specialty schedules for EV charging (LP-CEV), growth zones (GZP), and textile manufacturing (IEDT).
