How can I keep my electric bill roughly the same every month?

Levelized Billing gives you the ability to predict your bill each month. If you've been our customer at your current location for at least a year, we can calculate your monthly bill based on a "rolling average" of your power usage over the last 12 months. That means your bill won't fluctuate very much month to month – and you won’t have to settle up any difference at the end of the year.

To sign up for Levelized Billing, please call us at 423-648-1372.

Can I have a friend or family member receive my bills?

Our Third-Party Notification program helps you avoid service disconnections by having another person, such as a friend or family member, receive copies of bills and other important notices such as disconnect notices.

To designate a person for this notification, please call us at 423-648-1372.
