We all struggle sometimes. CEMC works with local assistance agencies across our service area that help with utility payments. See below for a complete list.
We also offer several programs to help you navigate paying your bill, from levelized payments and prepaid billing to picking your due date.

Project Help
CEMC, in cooperation with local energy assistance agencies, offers the Project Help program. The program allows members to contribute an additional $1.00 on their electric bills each month to help pay the utility bills of the elderly, disabled and/or those who are not economically self-sufficient. Project Help is a voluntary program. All money collected from Project Help goes to energy assistance agencies in our communities that determine how these special funds are distributed.
