Levelized Billing
Levelized Billing is a program offered by Southwestern Electric to help members avoid substantial changes in the amount of the their electric bill from one month to the next. When you sign up for levelized billing, your bill is based on a "rolling 12 month average." In other words, to calculate your bill, the cooperative averages your electric usage for the last 12 months. Levelized Billing effectively flattens out the peaks and valleys that come with seasonal changes in your electric usage, making it easier for you to forecast your bills and plan your budget.
Requirements for Levelized Billing:
Member must be on line for at least 12 months at their current account and have a "0" balance before starting this program.
Member must have a good credit history showing history of consistently paying on time.
The levelized amount due each month is based on a rolling 12 month average. The amount due will vary each month within a few dollars.
For the Levelized Billing Program to work properly, all monthly payments must be made by their due date. Only one late payment per year is allowed. The consumer will be removed from the program if payments are not timely.
If for any reason the consumer decides to discontinue Levelized Billing or if the account is disconnected, the actual account balance will be payable in full on the due date of their next bill.
The "Prior Balance" line (Listed under Current Bill Information) reflects how far ahead or how far behind a consumer was on their last month's bill.
