About
Reading Municipal Light Department, known as RMLD, is a public power utility serving homes and businesses in Reading and surrounding communities. It describes its role as powering not just homes and businesses but its communities. Customers can pay bills online through Invoice Cloud, track their energy use through the RMLD portal and start or stop service with a simple form, and recordings of Board of Commissioners meetings can be watched online.
RMLD runs a wide set of programs meant to cut energy costs, including rebates for residents and businesses, Connected Homes bill credits, peak alerts and a commercial Peak Demand Response program that offers bill credits to businesses. Its Shred the Peak campaign encourages customers to trim demand during peak times to keep rates low. An optional Renewable Choice program lets customers add more renewable energy to their mix.
