Budget Billing

Budget Billing is an option for members who wish to pay the same amount each month.

Your monthly payment is figured by an average of your previous 12 months. Each June the budget billed amount will be recalculated and any balance accrued will be due (or any credit accrued will be applied).

Do I qualify to be set up

 for a budget bill?

To qualify for budget billing, you must meet the following guidelines:

• Must be current on your account.
• No Large Power or Annual Billed accounts are eligible
• At least 12 months of service at the current location
• No late payments for the past 12 months
• No returned checks or insufficient ACH payments for the past 12 months

You may be

disconnected if:

• The budget amount is not paid, even if the account has a credit balance.
• The account has a returned check or insufficient ACH payment.

• The account will be removed from the Budget Billing program if it is disconnected for non-payment or at the discretion of the Member Services Department.
• Members may also participate in the automatic bank draft or credit/debit card draft option with the Budget Billing program. With these options, the same amount would be electronically transferred from your bank account or credit card account each month.
• To return to traditional monthly billing contact any SWEC office. If a balance has accrued on the account it will be due with the current month's bill.
