Budget Billing

Knowing what your monthly expenses are going to be can help you meet financial obligations month to month. If you have an ECI REC usage history of less than 3,000 kWh, the Cooperative offers member-consumers a budget billing option to level monthly electricity payments. Your monthly payment is based on yours, or the past occupants 12-month usage history of the service location.

ECI REC reviews your account periodically to ensure that payments are on track with the actual usage so that you do not face a large debit or credit at the end of the year. Member-consumers will pay for the electricity used. Your bill will always indicate your current charges during the month in addition to your budget amount.

You can enroll one of three ways:

  1. Complete the Budget Billing form and mail it to the Urbana office.

  2. Call our toll-free number: 877-850-4343.

  3. Visit our headquarters building in Urbana.

Your account must be paid in full before you are able to enroll or cancel your participation.
