Pay As You Go
Pay for electricity as you use it. Start with a positive account balance of $50. Then daily energy consumption is calculated and deducted from the credit balance available in your account.
- You decide when and how much to pay.
- No deposit, only an initial $50 payment to start a positive balance.
- No late fees.
- No disconnect or reconnect fees.
- Energy use information at your fingertips.
When the funds run low, payment reminder notifications are sent by text or email. To maintain service, a positive balance must be achieved, with payments of at least $5 or greater.
When funds are depleted and no payment is made, service goes off at 9am. To restore service, a positive balance must be achieved, with payments of at least $5 or greater. No reconnect fees and you won’t lose your deposit.

View Your Bill BreakdownAnswers to Common Questions
-
What is the Facilities Charge?
The facilities charge is a flat, monthly fee charged per meter. It is not dependent on how much energy you use. All our members need a reliable energy grid, so each member shares in the costs of building and maintaining the grid.
-
What is the Peak Demand Charge?
Peak demand occurs when you use the most electrical devices at your disposal simultaneously. Think of it as the highest amount of energy you demand from us all at once.
To lower your monthly Peak Demand Charge, spread your use of electricity throughout the day, as opposed to using energy all at once.
You can find your peak demand listed in the usage comparison chart on your printed bill. Look for the green circles at the top to show your highest kW and find ‘Power Peak’ to see the exact date and time of your highest electrical consumption during the billing cycle.
Through your online account in the app or your preferred web browser, you can use the Usage Explorer to view your peak demand. Navigate to My Usage and select Usage Explorer, then select a date range, under Usage Type click Demand (kW). Your daily peak demand appears as a yellow line. Look for peaks to identify days on which your demand was high and use the tips above to help spread your energy use throughout the day.
