To avoid the seasonal unpredictability
of energy bills that can be caused by hot or cold weather extremes, Budget
Billing spreads your electric and natural gas bill payments evenly over 12 months (rather than our usual
every-other-month billing plan.) Your monthly budget payments will be uniform for 11 months, based on your usage
history. The bill for the 12th month will include a
plus-or-minus adjustment to reflect the actual usage and
price for the year. Click here to request budget billing.
Pay your bill online using your Visa, Discover, Mastercard, or Debit Card. This is a fast, secure & easy way to pay your bill. Please note that there is a Convenience Fee paid to a Third Party Payment Processor for using this method
of payment.

Time-of-Use is an optional billing method for residential customers to purchase their electricity based on when the actual use of electricity occurs. Time-of-Use pricing charges customers lower prices for electricity used during periods of low overall electric demand (off-peak hours) and higher prices during periods of higher electric demand (on-peak hours). By shifting the consumption of electricity to periods of lower demand, customers can take advantage of lower-cost energy. For more information on Time-of-Use Billing click here.
