Is there a budget billing option available for my electricity bill?

Georgia Power offers a budget billing option designed to help customers manage their monthly electricity bills by averaging their usage over a year. This program allows customers to pay a consistent monthly amount instead of fluctuating bills due to seasonal changes in energy consumption. Typically, the budget billing plan calculates an estimated monthly payment based on the customer’s history of energy use, adjusting it periodically to reflect any significant changes in usage or costs. To enroll in this option, customers usually need to meet specific eligibility criteria, such as having a good payment history and a minimum period of residency at their current address. Additionally, it is important to note that any balance remaining at the end of the budget plan may either be settled by a one-time payment or factored into the next year's budget billing calculation. For the most accurate and current information regarding budget billing, including enrollment steps and requirements, it is recommended to visit the official Georgia Power website or check their specific budget billing page.
