My gas bill is in Therms. A conversion factor (close to 1) is used to convert the meter reading (units unspecified), minus the previous meter reading, to Therms.
The utility, in this case, is PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric). My electricity is supplied by Roseville Electric, a publicly-owned municipal utility. The bill is part of a larger bill for Roseville utilities and services, including garbage collection, water, sewage, street sweeping, etc. The electricity portion is, indeed, in kW.h.
