The main idea of a passage is the central thought. The other sentences in the passage provide details (like the high bill amount, past bill range, request for service representative, customer loyalty etc.) that support the main idea. The sentence "I am writing regarding a problem with my electric bill" introduces the overall topic which all the other details revolve around.
