Budget Payment Plan
Simplify Your Bills with Our Budget Payment Plan.
Enjoy the convenience of paying the same budget amount each month with our Budget Payment Plan. We calculate your budget monthly payment by averaging your energy bills from the last 12 months at your current address. This makes budgeting easier.
What You Should Know About the Budget Payment Plan:
Regular Review: To keep your payments aligned with your actual energy use, we’ll re-evaluate your account every March and September.
Potential Payment Adjustment: If there’s a balance or a credit on your account during these reviews, your monthly payment amount will be adjusted accordingly.
Notification of Change: You’ll see a message on your March and September billing statements with your new Budget Plan payment amount. This revised amount will start the following month.
Monthly Payment Obligation: The Budget Payment amount is required each month to remain on the plan. Missing payments may lead to removal from the Budget Payment Plan.
Please remember that the Budget Plan is designed to even out your payments throughout the year for ease of budgeting. It’s not a discount or a way to save on your energy costs. We read your meter monthly and bill for the energy you use, your billing statement will show your actual balance or credit each month.
Final Account Balance: If you close your account or transfer your service, the final balance due will be charged. If there’s a credit on your account, it will be refunded to you.
Our Budget Payment Plan can be particularly beneficial for those on a fixed income, such as seniors and disabled individuals, as well as college students managing expenses and snowbirds who have seasonal usage. Knowing you’ll pay the same budget amount each month can provide greater peace of mind and make financial planning easier.
