What is the NYSEG budget billing program and how does it work?

The NYSEG budget billing program is designed to help customers manage their energy bill by spreading their yearly energy costs evenly over 12 months. Instead of paying varying amounts seasonally, customers on budget billing pay a fixed monthly amount that is calculated based on their previous energy usage. At the end of the budget year, NYSEG reviews the account and adjusts the monthly amount if necessary. This program provides predictability and helps customers budget for their energy expenses. It is available for residential and small commercial customers in good standing who have at least 12 months of usage history at their current location. To enroll, customers can contact NYSEG's customer service or sign up through their online account.
