What is Budget Billing?
Same payment every month. No need to worry about unexpected high monthly bills. To manage your finances, use budget billing to make equal monthly payments.
How It Works
The amount you owe is determined by averaging your current location’s electrical usage over the previous 12 months. This number is then used to set your monthly payment.
Because usage tends to be lower in the summer and fall, your payments will build up a credit balance for the winter months, when usage is typically higher.
To stay on budget billing, you must pay your budget each month by the due date.
Every year, accounts will be reconciled and adjusted based on actual usage, with the intention of ending with a balance of zero.
How To Enroll
Call us at (360) 423-2210 or sign up on SmartHub.
What is AutoPay?
Enroll in AutoPay to guarantee timely payment receipt.
- Saves you money – no more late fees or stamps
- Saves you time – no more check writing and mailing
- reduces the risk of identity theft because no personal information is lost in the mail.
How It Works
Every month, we’ll automatically deduct the full amount due from the bank account, debit card, or credit card you’ve selected.
When your bill is prepared for review, you will be informed, and your payment’s due date will also be confirmed.
Through the SmartHub app, you can change or update your payment method whenever you want.
How To Enroll
Sign up for AutoPay on SmartHub. Download the SmartHub mobile app through your phone app store. Enter your payment information and choose AutoPay, or fill out the AutoPay Authorization Form (PDF) and send it to Cowlitz PUD.
What is PrePaid?
A pay-as-you-go alternative to purchasing electricity is PrePaid. Similar to buying gasoline, you purchase electricity before using it.
- Manage your usage through SmartHub
- Pay what you want, when you want
- No more late fees
- No account deposit required
- Use your current deposit to pay off debt
How It Works
Customers manage their accounts through the SmartHub app rather than receiving their monthly bills in the traditional manner.
Keep track of your usage, and when your pre-paid balance runs out, just send in a payment to top it off.
