Budget Billing is a billing method that helps residential members avoid the wide changes in monthly bills brought about by use of electric heat and air conditioning. The program spreads the cost out across the year so monthly bills don’t vary drastically. To qualify you must:

• receive service at the specific location for 12 months
• have a good credit history
• use more than 930 kilowatt hours a month

Monthly electric bills can be paid by bank draft. Under this program you give your bank permission to pay your bill from your checking account each month. The bill you receive from Magnolia Electric Power is marked paid. Ask for a payment by bank draft application from Magnolia Electric Power Billing Department.

A residential rate and a residential all-electric rate are available. A winter adjustment to both residential rates reduces the cost above 1,000 kilowatt hours during the heating season. Other rates apply to farm, commercial and industrial consumers.

• A 911 address

You will also need to provide a meter pole per Magnolia Electric's specifications. In addition, if a line must be built across someone else’s property to serve you, you will be asked to obtain easements (written permission to cross the property and remove trees and shrubbery.)
