  • Why is my bill so high?

    There are a number of factors that influence the total due on your power bill. Here are the first things to check:

    • What was your kilowatt use this time last year compared to this year? You can check last year’s use by accessing My Account.
    • Are the days of use the same? Are there more days between readings than on your previous bills?
    • Are there other charges beyond electric service on this bill? Have past-due amounts been added to the total?
    • Are there miscellaneous charges added to the bill? Any outdoor lighting or surge protection charges?
    • Have any of the large power users in your home been running more than normal? (For example, the air conditioner in hot weather, the heating system in cold weather, the water heater when you have extra dishes, laundry, baths and showers.)

    If you still have questions about your bill, contact a member service representative at (251) 989-6247 or (800) 837-3374.

  • Why am I being charged an additional deposit?

    Additional deposits are charged to existing accounts that have been cut off for non-payment in the last 12 months, bounced two checks in the last 12 months, or appeared on the cutoff list twice in the past 12 months. The Deposit Upgrade Policy prevents Baldwin EMC from having to raise the rates of members who maintain an acceptable payment history with the cooperative. For more information, please view the Deposit Upgrade Policy.
