Switch on your Bill Forecast Alert

Bill Forecast Alerts can be sent after the first week of your billing cycle and may be received as late as two days before your billing cycle ends. They're triggered if your current energy use is projected to exceed the bill amount you specified. Alerts are sent once during each billing cycle and provide the opportunity to adjust your energy use if needed.

Make the most of your Bill Forecast Alert

  1. To help reduce your energy bill, set an alert amount slightly lower than your normal energy bill. For example, set your monthly bill alert amount 15% LESS than your average bill and receive an alert when you're projected to exceed that amount during your billing cycle.
  2. Choose to receive Bill Forecast Alerts via email, text or a phone call.
  3. You can enter a total of four contacts to receive an alert.
  4. Be sure to save your changes.
