light bill
Power company statement
A light bill is the monthly statement for electricity usage, though it covers all electrical consumption, not just lighting.
The term persists from when electric lighting was the primary household use of electricity.
More common in American Southern and informal speech than "electric bill" or "power bill": I can barely afford the light bill this summer.
