For Residential Accounts
The Budget Payment Plan (BPP) program is a voluntary program that allows a residential customer to pay equal monthly payments for electric service. The monthly budget amount will be calculated based on the most recent 12 months of billing history at the service address. BPP is a great program for smoothing out seasonal variances and making it easier manage your monthly budget.
Eligibility is based on the following conditions:
- Service must be residential.
- Service cannot include Solar (Net Energy Metering, Photovoltaic).
- Your account must be paid in full (no past due account balance).
- If 12 months of billing history are not available at the service address (ex. new build), customers will not be eligible to participate until a full 12 months of usage data has been accrued.
How it Works:
Once approved, the BPP program will commence with the next bill following confirmation of the request. Each billing statement will include the actual charges incurred during the billing period, the monthly budget payment due, and any deferred balance that may be accruing on the account. Any required deposits and/or fees will appear as separate line items on your bill and will be included in the total amount due.
The BPP amount the customer pays each month is based on the service location’s billing history. The amount will be adjusted for the following conditions:
- Annually the BPP Amount is recalculated to include any accrued balance, rate and/or consumption changes.
- The customer’s monthly budget amount does not align with their actual electricity usage, resulting in either a significant credit or a large outstanding balance.
