Variable Billing

Variable Billing

Your Budget Made Easy

 


 

VARIABLE BILLING

You can even out your energy costs by choosing our Variable Billing program. With Variable Billing, your monthly payment is calculated using an initial base average amount. That amount is then recalculated each month offering levelized billing throughout the year. Your budget amount could increase or decrease depending on your actual energy use. Each month, you are responsible for the budgeted variable billing amount and not the actual AR balance. If necessary, once a year, the actual AR balance is due during a catch-up month. However, since your monthly payment is recalculated each month, a catch-up month is generally not needed.

You can pay by traditional means or sign up for the Auto Pay program to fully automate your payments.

You must have received service from the co-op for at least six months and have a good credit history to qualify for Variable Billing. When you first sign up, your initial base average is calculated on your average usage over the previous 12 months.

If you would like to register for this program, please call Member Services at 979-543-6271.
