Budget Billing

We average your 12 previous bills and calculate the projected cost of energy for the next 12 months, then divide your predicted energy use into 12 equal payments.

You will only be asked to pay your Budget Billing amount plus any non-budget charges, such as the Amount Due. However your bill will show the energy you used and all actual charges for the billing period.

Additionally, your billing statement includes a Budget Billing summary of actual usage charges and payments over the last 13 months to help you stay informed of your true account balance.

Your monthly budget amount will be reviewed periodically throughout the year to determine if a recalculation is needed. If an adjustment is necessary, you will receive a communication explaining the adjustment.

A payment amount under the Amount Due on your monthly billing statement could result in a late payment charge of $10 or 1.5%, whichever is greater. You may also be removed from Budget Billing or your service could be disconnected.
