Levelized Payment Program

Levelized bills are calculated as the average of the current and previous eleven (11) month’s energy usage (kWh) multiplied by the current CEMC residential rate plus the current TVA Fuel Cost Adjustment amount. Any applicable additional charges will be added to this averaged amount to calculate the total amount due. To enroll in the program, a member must have had continuous service at the home for at least twelve (12) months with no returned checks and/or not more than one (1) late payment. For more information, contact our Member Services Department at 800-987-2362.

Rates have seasonal energy components —that is, metered kilowatt-hours will have a different cost associated with summer, winter and transition (spring-fall) months.

Whether you have to pay a deposit depends on:
• Your payment record, if you have had service with CEMC.
• Your credit check, if you have not previously had service with us. CEMC uses Online Credit Exchange to provide a credit evaluation unique to utilities, the deposit decision is based on the risk evaluation. It is a “soft” inquiry and does not affect your credit score.
• The amount will be two times the average bill at the location or $250 dollars if there is no billing history at the location.
• May be paid over the phone with credit/debit card
• May be paid in the District office with cash, money order or check payable to CEMC, or credit/debit card .

Refund of Deposit: On residential services the security deposit is refunded after 36 months with no late payments or refunded on the final bill if the member moves out of our service area. On commercial and industrial services the security deposit is held until the account is closed.

If I move do I have to pay another deposit? We will transfer your deposit to your new location provided service can be disconnected within 3 days at the former location. Past due balances must be paid upon transfer.

We have implemented a redesigned electric bill format. The design incorporates new, more detailed information such as average daily use and presents existing electric bill information in a more streamlined manner. View an explanation of your electric bill here.

Credit / Debit Card by Phone:  Pay your bill by phone using your credit card or debit card. There is no fee for this service.

District offices:  You may make a payment at our district offices M-F 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (except holidays). For your convenience each district office is equipped with a payment Kiosk station that accepts credit/debit card or cash 24/7. (Kiosk is unable to provide change on cash payment. Any overage is credited to the account.)
Other Billing Questions

The due date noted on the bill is 15 days after the bill was mailed from CEMC. If the bill is not paid by the due date, it is subject to disconnection after 5 business days.

CEMC does not extend the Disconnect Date or offer payment arrangements. Members may choose to enroll in Pre-Paid Meter (PPM) Billing or be directed to contact a local Energy Assistance Agency for help paying a delinquent bill. Members may also apply for Medical Hardship status where applicable.
