Average Billing
We help you take the guess work out of your monthly bill with Average Billing. This program smooths out your seasonally high and low electricity bills by making your payments similar month to month. This helps you predict, and manage, your budget better.
How does it work?
- Each month we average the usage of your current month plus the previous 11 months.
- Next, we multiply the average usage by the rate that you signed up for.
- Lastly, we add or subtract 1/12th of the accumulated difference between your average bills and your actual bills. This difference will fluctuate over time as your actual usage differs from the average amount you will be billed.
We're here to help you keep your budget even keel. You got this.
Call us at (866) 469-2464 for more information or to enroll in Average Billing. If there is no previous billing in your name at the service address, or you do not have 11 months bill amounts at the service address, we will take the previous usage at that service address (if available) and apply your current price to calculate your average monthly amount.
Care to Share Fund
Is your heart as big as Texas? We created the Care to Share Fund, a customer-funded bill payment assistance program that helps pay an electricity bill for residential customers who have hit a bump in the road and qualify for this program. You can contribute to the fund each month by checking the box on your payment form, and include this tax-deductible amount with your payment. And from those who will receive assistance, thank you. You're awesome.
