Budget Billing
Keep your bills consistent throughout the year by enrolling in Budget Billing. To calculate your Budget Billing amount, we take an average of the last 12 months billing. This 12 month average amount is then increased by 10%. This adjustment should help assure that even if the weather is colder or hotter than normal your budget amount should cover your electric bill. This is the amount you would pay for the next 11 months. On the 12th month, the balance between what you paid and what you used is settled. At this time a new Budget Billing amount would be recalculated for the following year. You must be on VEC service for at least one year with good standing credit at VEC to qualify and sign up for budget billing.
Other Third Party Payment Options
Many other payment options may be available for you to use. If not using a payment method listed above, it may take several days for us to receive the funds and may cause your payment to be received late. Other third party payment options may also charge you fees you would not otherwise pay.
