BILLING & PAYMENT OPTIONS

Do you offer averaged billing?
Yes, our Budget Billing program is a 12-month plan to help you even out monthly electricity bills. You simply pay an average amount based on your past electricity use. We will send you a bill that shows how much electricity you’ve actually used during the month, but you will pay your budgeted amount. You will still pay for all the electricity you use, but you will avoid large fluctuations in your electricity bill throughout the year.

  • You are still required to pay for all of the electricity you use.


  • Green Mountain Energy Company may adjust your budget amount at any time if your usage is not in line with your budget amount.


  • Your accrued variance will be applied as a charge or credit to your account at least once every 12 months and will be due on the due date of your next invoice.

To sign up for Budget Billing, please call us at 1-866-785-4668. Our Energy Account Specialists are available to help Monday — Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CST.
