Bring More Stability to Your Monthly Budget with Budget Billing

Monday | January 26, 2026
All News

Weather plays a big role in how much electricity we all use. When temperatures swing, your bill can too, which may make monthly budgeting a little harder. To help you stay on track, we offer Budget Billing to keep your payments steady throughout the year.

What Is Budget Billing?

Budget Billing gives you one consistent bill amount each month, helping you avoid unexpected increases during high-use seasons.

To determine your monthly amount, we review your previous 12 months of energy use and calculate an average. This predictable monthly payment can make planning ahead much easier.

Is Budget Billing a Good Fit for You?

You may find Budget Billing helpful if:

✔ You appreciate steady monthly expenses

Knowing your bill ahead of time can simplify your budgeting.

✔ Extreme weather impacts your energy use

Hot summers and cold winters can cause your bill to rise. Budget Billing smooths out these seasonal changes.

✔ You’re working with a fixed or tight budget

A consistent payment each month can help reduce financial stress.

✔ Your energy use stays fairly steady throughout the year

If your usage doesn’t vary dramatically, this program may work especially well for you.

✔ You’re comfortable with a yearly review

Because the program is based on average usage, your bill may adjust once a year to keep things accurate.

We're Here to Support You

Every home is different, and choosing Budget Billing depends on what works best for you. Our team is always available to explain the program, answer your questions, and help you decide if it fits your needs.

We value your trust and appreciate the opportunity to serve you. If you need assistance or have questions about your bill, please reach out, we’re here to help and committed to supporting our community every step of the way
