With regular billing, your energy bill goes up during high-usage months and down in low-usage months. Instead, Average Billing allows you to pay a rolling average monthly amount, spreading your energy costs throughout the year and making it more manageable. Watch this video to learn more about Average Billing. This is how we calculate your Average Billing amount: We add up your monthly bills for 12 months (or the number of monthly bills available, if fewer than 12). We then take that total and divide the amount by 12 or by the total months available for your service address (if fewer than 12). Finally, we add or subtract 1/12 of your deferred balance, which is the cumulative difference between your monthly Average Billing amount and your actual usage charges. And don't worry, with Average Billing, you can still sign up for Auto Pay through your bank or make payments through your Online Account, mail, or phone.
