3. Payments are due by the 10th of each month to avoid late fees.
4. Enroll in automatic payments, where your electric bill is automatically paid each month from your checking, savings or credit card account. Plus you'll receive a $1 monthly credit for paying automatically!
5. Your bill will be sent electronically to the email address you provided. By enrolling in e-bill you'll receive a $1 monthly credit!
6. Members who have been charged a $200 refundable deposit will be refunded with interest following 12 consecutive months of no late payments.
7. Save money with an electric water heater, an air-source heat pump, or a geothermal heating and cooling system instead of using gas as your energy source. You may also qualify for our discounted electric rate. Contact us for a detailed comparison of energy operating costs.
8. Our Community Connection Fund annually contributes more than $50,000 to area charitable causes such as food pantries, low-income programs, libraries, senior citizen centers, fire departments, and more. This comes from our Round-Up program, where your electric bill is rounded up to the next dollar, with the additional pennies deposited in the Connection Fund. 100 percent of funds are returned to our local communities. New members are automatically enrolled in Round-Up, but you may cancel at any time by contacting us.
9. As a Midwest Electric member, you will soon receive your first copy of Ohio Cooperative Living, a statewide magazine produced for all electric cooperative members in Ohio. Midwest Electric uses the center section of this magazine to provide local cooperative information. Look for the pages marked Midwest Electric Local Pages.
