Average Payment Plan
We offer an Average Payment Plan (APP) option as a convenience to Mon Power and Potomac Edison residential customers who wish to level out their bill payments. This plan gives you more control of your monthly household budget.
If your budget gets "bent out of shape" every winter and summer during peak heating and cooling periods, why not level it out with our Average Payment Plan. Under the Average Payment Plan, your annual electric bill will be divided into 12 monthly payments that will round off those peaks and make it easier to pay.
Level Out Your Monthly Payments

How Does it Work?
When you sign up for the Average Payment Plan, we average your electric usage for the previous 12 months and calculate your monthly payment as 1/12 of that yearly amount. Then, every time a new bill is issued, your monthly amount is updated to reflect a new 12-month period. That way, your bill is always representative of your actual electric usage. The amount of your payment may vary slightly from month to month, but will not climb significantly in the winter and summer when heating and cooling equipment is used the most. The Average Payment Plan costs nothing extra. You pay only for the actual amount of electricity you use.

What if I'm a New Customer?
If you are a new customer, we will need at least one 30-day bill to occur in order to estimate your annual usage. The amount initially calculated will be based on the estimated annual usage, and will be adjusted monthly based on your actual usage. After one year, your actual annual consumption will be used to calculate future monthly payments.

How is Average Payment Plan Shown on My Bill?
Under the Account Summary section, your electric bill will show the kilowatt-hours you've used between meter readings. It will also show your account balance and your Payment Plan Amount, which is the amount you pay.
Your bill also has a section, Average Payment Plan (APP) Summary, that shows:
Actual Charges Billed During 12 APP Months
APP Amount During 12 APP Months
Difference Between Actual Charges and APP Amount -
How Can I Enroll?
The Average Payment Plan (APP) is optional, and you can discontinue it at any time. In order to be enrolled in APP, your monthly payments must be paid on time. Failure to make payments by the bill due date will add a late charge onto your bill and may require your account to return to standard billing.

How Do I Cancel?
If you would like to uneroll from Average Payment Plan, click on the button below. If you are not logged in, you will be prompted to do so.
Once you unenroll from APP, we need to bring your account up to date since the amount due will be now based on your monthly usage and not the budgeted amount. The difference between your actual charges and your budget payments will be applied to your next bill. Please note you do not have to wait until your next bill to make the catch-up payment. It can be made at any time.
