Meter Readings

Warren Electric Cooperative relies on self-reported meter readings. The readings can be put on the stub of the monthly bill, called into the office or submitted electronically through SmartHub. The meter can be read anytime after the bill is received but must be in the office no later than the 20th of the month. If you do not furnish a meter reading for three consecutive months, the Cooperative will read your meter and bill you a $30.00 meter reading fee.

Consumer Deposits

A $150.00 consumer deposit may be collected from all new members. If a member can obtain a good credit reference from the Credit Agency, the deposit maybe waived or reduced. Any member who has been disconnected for non-payment will be required to carry a deposit of $200.00. Deposits will be applied against the final bill and any left over amount will be refunded.

Extensions

We understand that life doesn’t always go as planned, and sometimes you may need a little extra time to pay your electric bill. If that happens, we're here to help.

To request a payment extension, please call our office at (800) 364-8640. When you call, be ready to provide: Your name, Account number, amount due , and the date you expect to make your payment

Most reasonable extension requests are approved, but it's important to contact us before your due date. If your payment is late and no extension has been arranged, your account may be subject to disconnection—so please don’t wait to reach out.
