Payment Options

CEC members can choose easy and convenient ways to even out their monthly electricity bills and pay their bills through a mobile device or automatic deductions.

The SmartHub program enables you to view your information from practically anywhere, anytime. A nice feature of the new system is the availability of a free “App” you can put on your mobile device.

Through SmartHub there will be opportunities to:

  • Report outages
  • Communicate with CEC staff
  • View usage history
  • Pay bills

Many people like to know, within a few dollars, what their electricity bill will run each month in order to keep within their budget.

Levelized Billing is a way to even out your monthly payments in order to minimize those high spikes that can sometimes occur during peak usage months.

No Surprises

Levelized billing:

  • Prevents drastic changes in your bill, even during the coldest or hottest months of the year
  • Averages the previous 11 monthly bills and the current month’s bill for a service address

No Settleup

Because the levelized billing amount is recalculated each month based on a rolling average, the need to settle up balances annually is eliminated.

Reconciliation of your account will be necessary only if you move or decide to stop participating in the program.
