Bank Draft or Recurring Credit/Debit Card

Looking for a hassle-free way to pay your bill each month? Sign up to have your payment automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card. To sign up, call 855-939-3738 press option 4 and follow the instructions on the line. You can also sign up through SmartHub.

Your payment will be debited from your account or credit card each month on the 15th. If the 15th falls on a holiday or weekend, it will be deducted on the next business day. You will still receive a bill each month and it will read "Do Not Pay - Paid by Bank Draft" or "Do Not Pay - Paid by Credit Card." You can stop payment of any entry by notifying the cooperative four (4) business days before the payment is scheduled to be deducted.

A $30 fee may be charged for a Bank Draft or Recurring Credit/Debit Card that is declined for any reason.

Terms & Conditions

Budget Billing

Budget billing is a program that offers members to pay a fixed billing amount each month and evenly spread the cost of electricity throughout the year.

The fixed amount is calculated based on your average usage for the 12 months.

Each May and November, the budget billing amount is evaluated according to your actual usage. The monthly fixed amount may increase, decrease or remain the same. You will be notified of any change on your statements in May and November. Any change will go into effect the following month.

There is no “catch up” month. Any credits or balances at the end of the year roll into the following year.

You may request to be removed from the budget billing plan at any time, but will be responsible for the bill in full at that time. Once you sign up for the budget billing plan, you must keep your account current in order to stay on the plan. If you become delinquent, you will go back to the regular method of being billing.

Contact us for more information.
