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.

常見問題

FAQ

我們會將您過去 12 個月用電費用總額相加，再除以 11。 這會決定您的預算帳單方案金額，也就是您接下來 11 個月每月應支付的金額。 

At Month 12, you will receive a settlement statement showing either a payment due or a credit balance. This is based on the difference between the actual amount of electricity you used throughout the year and the total amount paid so far. After settling your account, your first year of participating in the Budget Billing Plan is complete.

每月未繳的任何金額都將結轉至下個月，並列為逾期款項。

我們會在第 3、6 及 9 個月審查您的用電量。 若有重大變動，我們可能會調整您的預算帳單方案金額，並反映在您的下一期帳單上。 您也可以隨時要求審查並重新調整您的金額。

預算計費方案的登記將在最初的 12 個月期滿後自動續約。您將重新從第 1 個月開始計算，並視需要重新計算應繳金額。

您可隨時致電 1-800-434-2365，取消或重新加入預算帳單計畫。
