Budget Billing
This special billing plan may help you fit your electric bill into your monthly budget. It is most beneficial if you experience extreme seasonal highs and lows in your electric use.
Once you are approved for this plan, we will determine your average monthly kilowatt-hour use based on your most recent 12-month history. You will be billed that amount every month. At the end of the year, we will determine your actual use, compare it with your budget-billing amount and adjust your bill accordingly. Contact us to apply for budget billing.
