Levelized Billing helps you know what to expect on your electric bill. If you experience extreme fluctuations due to seasonal usage, Levelized Billing can smooth out those peaks and your bill.

Calculated based on your 12-month usage average, which always rolls forward and adjusts based on your month-to-month usage, levelized billing helps you avoid severe spikes on your bill due to high seasonal usage.

Each month, your bill amount will adjust, but will be around the same month after month — even throughout peak cooling and heating periods. It does not reduce your electric bills, but it will help smooth out your bill, allowing you to budget more effectively. 

The purpose of this program is to help make your electric service costs easier to budget because you receive approximately the same monthly bill. This plan is especially valuable for anyone on a budget or limited income.

Members who wish to be enrolled in Levelized Billing must meet the following requirements:

  • Applicants must be members for at least one year at their current address.

  • Available for residential services only.

  • The current bill must be paid to a zero balance.

  • Monthly payments are required and must be made in accordance with the DEMCO Standard Terms and Conditions for Electric Service. Failure to do so will result in the member's removal from the program.

  • Should the Member terminate service or elect to be removed from the Levelized Billing program, any outstanding account balance will be due and payable on the next due date, and/or any accrued credit will be due and payable on the next due date.

Please note: Any overpayment to the monthly bill account will be applied to pay down the deferred balance.
