Each month prior to your billing date, we generate a meter reading. When it is time to process your bill, we charge you for whatever electricity was used between the previous reading date and the current one. Since we cannot know in advance how much electricity will be used each month, we are not able to bill you for the usage until after it has already been used. The cooperative offers a PrePay Billing option, which allows members to make payments on their account to cover the cost of future energy use.
