Want to smooth out most of the fluctuation in the amount you pay for your monthly electric bill and not worry about a settle-up month? If so, sign up for Levelized Billing. Start by filling out the form below. You qualify if you have been a CEC residential customer for at least 12 months and have a good payment history.
No Surprises
Levelized billing prevents drastic changes in your bill, even during the coldest or hottest months of the year. A levelized bill averages the previous 11 monthly bills and the current month's bill for a service address. See below for examples of how levelized bills are calculated.
No Settleup
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 stop participating in the program.
Join Anytime
If CEC has been providing electricity to your service address for at least one year and your account is current, you are eligible to participate in levelized billing. We will simply calculate your levelized payment based on the average billing for your home. Fill out the form below to get signed up!
Examples
To arrive at your levelized amount, CEC adds your current month's use to your previous 11 months, then divides the total by 12. It is then rounded to the nearest dollar.
