Sometimes knowing what your monthly expenses are going to be is a big step toward meeting your monthly financial obligations. 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. We calculate your monthly payment based on your 12-month usage history or the usage history of the past occupants of your residence.

ECI REC reviews your account periodically to ensure that payments are on track with 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.
