You will receive your energy bill on or near the 20th of each month.

Payment of your monthly energy bill is due on the 5th of the month.  You may pay your bill in person at RLEC during office hours, use the 24-hour drive-up drop box located next to the RLEC office, by Auto Pay, or by mail.  Payment must be in the office, drop box, Auto Pay, or in the mail, as evidenced by the postmark, by the 5th day of the following month to avoid a late payment charge.  A 1-1/2% monthly late payment charge will be computed on delinquent energy bills, the minimum late payment charge will be $1.00.

If your payment is not received by the 15th of the month, a final notice of disconnection statement will be included on your following bill.  The final notice statement will notify you when your electric service will be disconnected if the delinquent amount remains unpaid.  If an employee is sent to disconnect your electric service, a $50 collection fee will be charged to your account, even if you pay the collector.

To have a disconnected service reconnected, all amounts owing, a $50 reconnection fee, and a security deposit must be paid.  If the service must be reconnected after normal working hours, a $100 reconnection fee must be paid.

BAD CHECKS

A $15 charge will be levied each time a check is returned because of nonsufficient funds, account being closed or payment stopped.
