Budget Billing

Would you like consistent Electric and Natural Gas Bills?

We all know the strain that the changing of the seasons can have on our pocketbooks due to our electric and natural gas bills. With many economic strategists predicting the ongoing increase in natural gas and electric rates over the next year, wouldn't it be easier to have your utility bill remain the same amount all year long?

If you would like to be able to plan your expenses each month and know in advance what your utility bill will be, then the budget billing makes sense for your household. The Energy Cooperative offers budget billing which allows your monthly utility costs to remain constant throughout the entire year.

Our budget billing sign-up will begin in August of this year and will begin with your statement that is mailed in September. An adjustment may be made to your budget in March depending on your yearly usage. You can sign up for budget billing by simply calling our Member Service Department at (800) 255-6815 by August 30th. If you are currently on budget billing, you need not do anything. We will automatically renew your account unless you tell us otherwise. Please note the following qualifications:

1. The account must be paid in full by the September due date.
2. We would prefer that you have 12 months consumption history but will work with you if you do not.
3. The budget accounts may be adjusted during the month of March. At this time your budget amount may be increased or decreased depending on your usage, the weather, market conditions.
