Members can choose a levelized billing program that might be just the answer. Levelized billing prevents drastic changes in your bill, even in the coldest or hottest months of the year. This can help you budget your finances more consistently each month.
No surprises
Levelized billing is based on a rolling 12-month average by using the previous 11 months’ electricity billing and the current month’s billing for the service address. Since the current month’s billing is calculated into the average, the levelized amount will fluctuate, but only a small amount……usually a couple of dollars per month.
No settle-up. No guessing.
Because the levelized billing amount is recalculated each month based on a rolling average, the need to settle up balances annually is eliminated. Reconciliation of your account will be necessary only if you move or decide to cancel your participation in the program.
Join anytime
If you have one year of billing history to help us set your initial levelized billing amount, you are eligible to participate in levelized billing and you can join the program at any time. We’ll simply calculate your levelized payment based on the average billing for your home during the last year.
