Billing Info
BUDGET BILLING
You can pay the same amount for electricity next winter that you pay this summer if you participate in YVEA’s Budget Billing program. The budget bill plan is designed to provide you with eleven months of equal payments. The twelfth month is referred to as the “adjustment” month, whereby the account is caught up with over or under collections. YVEA will attempt to determine as closely as possible that the budget billing amount will come out even at the end of the twelfth month. Adverse weather conditions, rate adjustments, addition of new appliances or other factor may impact your adjustment month’s bill.
Any residential member in good standing, who has had continuous electric service for twelve months with YVEA at any location, is eligible to participate. If you are new to the area, you will have to wait until you have twelve months of history with the Association to qualify. Your meter will continue to be read on a monthly basis. You will continue to receive a monthly bill, as you have in the past. The bill will reflect your current kilowatt-hour consumption and your correct billing amount. The only difference is your payment amount will be your budget billing amount.
At your “adjustment” month, a letter will be included in your monthly bill telling you that you will pay the adjustment amount and what the new calculated monthly budget bill amount will be for the next eleven month.
To sign up for budget billing, contact Tom Connor at YVEA by calling 970-824-1466.
AUTOMATIC PAYMENT PLAN
YVEA’s recurring bank draft or recurring credit card payment is convenient and simple — no checks to write and no worries about late payments. Your account or credit card will be processed on the due date listed on your billing statement.
PAYMENT CENTERS
YVEA has payment drop boxes located in the front of both offices, one at the Craig City Market, Steamboat City Market and Hayden Merchantile.
ELECTRONIC BILLING
Starting February 1, 2007 Yampa Valley Electric will begin offering electronic billing or E-Bill to customers. Customers can choose if they want to receive paper bills, electronic bills or both. Once customers are signed up for E-Bill, they can view their billing information 24-hours a day and pay their bill online.
