Payment Options
Most folks would agree that it’s easier to budget for something when you know what to expect. However, electric bills, due to the heating and cooling of homes, are prone to fluctuation and consequently are somewhat unpredictable.
Well, if that fluctuation is something you could do without, New-Mac offers a payment option which evens out the peaks and valleys of energy use. Through a process called Levelized Billing, each month your bill is based on an average of your electric bills over the previous 12 months.
Levelized Billing consists of 11 equal payments and one adjustment payment per year. Since household usage typically varies from year to year (due to weather, improvements, additions, etc.), the twelfth payment is used to make up the difference between the estimated and actual usage.
Most residential members with a good credit history are eligible for this program. Participants also must have at least 12 months of billing history at the location to be put on Levelized Billing.
For more information on Levelized Billing, call the billing department at 417-451-1515 or 800-322-3849. If you would like to apply for this program, click the button below to fill out the form and a billing clerk will contact you to let you know if you are eligible and the amount of your levelized payments.
