This graph is an example of a gas bill with level payments on budget billing

Budget Billing evens out your energy costs by dividing your annual electric and gas usage into 12 level monthly payments — alleviating spikes in high usage months.

Benefits

• Avoid seasonal bill spikes
• Make household budgeting easier
• Know how much your bill will be each month

How It Works

• Your initial monthly payment is based on your past 6 or 12 months of energy use and current rates
• Your budget amount is reviewed every 3 months and adjusted if needed
• Your amount will be reviewed on your 12th month and you will be automatically re-enrolled each year unless you opt out
• Your 12th-month bill shows any remaining debit or credit balance

Eligibility

You can enroll if:

• You've had electric or gas heating service at your current address for at least 12 months
• You've had non-heating gas service at your current address for at least 6 months
• Your account is in good standing (not in collections or past due)
• Yes, you can enroll if you have a different electric supplier

After you enroll, Budget Billing will begin with your next bill.
