What is the Budget Billing Plan?

The Budget Billing Plan makes energy bills more predictable by spreading estimated annual costs across 11 equal monthly payments, followed by a settlement in Month 12. This plan does not reduce the amount of your bill — you are still responsible for paying the full cost of the energy you use.  

Eligibility depends on your rate, account status and other program enrollment.
