Usually a certain amount, called fees or something is paid before, but the actual usage amount is paid after.

normally, electricity and other fuels are bought....as if in the stock exchange...someone brokers the deals for the companies and then the purchases are made. this is why - for example - wind energy is cheaper - sometimes - than is coal energy. other times - that is not the case. so, for example, green mtn. energy is low sometimes and other times it is higher - supply. then, of course, there is demand. so with wind suppliers weather is a big deal...as is the number of companies buying their energy....demand for all fuels is usually - these days - pretty good. it is the supply that is an issue and why we are looking for alternative fuel sources.
does that make sense?
