Find Balance with Budget Billing
Plan Ahead with Predictable Monthly Payments
Budget Billing helps you plan ahead with predictable monthly payments. This isn’t a rate plan — it’s a free budgeting program that evens out the highs and lows of your energy bills. We average your recent energy bills to determine your monthly Budget Billing payment, so you pay about the same each month, even during the summer and winter.

Budget Billing 101
How it Works
Budget Billing balances the highs and lows of your monthly bills throughout the year to create a predictable payment amount that’s about the same every month.
Your monthly Budget Billing payment will be an average of your recent energy bills. Payments may vary slightly to cover the cost of your actual usage, but this won’t occur more than once per quarter.
- If your Budget Billing amount is $100, but your actual charges for the month are $75, you’d have a credit of $25.
- If your Budget Billing amount is $100, but your actual charges are $125, you’d have a debit of $25.
You would continue to pay your set Budget Billing amount of $100 each month. If your debit or credit becomes too large, we will adjust your Budget Billing payment.
If you unenroll in Budget Billing, your debit or credit balance will be added to your next bill, which will be adjusted to reflect this change.
Am I eligible for Budget Billing?
To qualify for Budget Billing:
- Your account must be current without any past-due balances.
- Your account cannot be enrolled in a Payment Arrangement.
- Accounts with Green Choice, solar plans, landlord agreements or non-metered services are not eligible.
- There is no minimum billing history required for residential customers. However, the more history you have (up to 12 months), the more accurate your average monthly payment will be. Business customers must have at least three months of billing history to qualify.
How to Enroll
