What happens if I am on the Budget or Average Monthly Plan (AMP) and I want to enroll in EZ Bill?

What is the Average Monthly Plan (AMP)?

The Average Monthly Payment Plan (AMP) is a payment plan designed so you can pay an amount equal to your monthly average, rather than the actual month’s usage.

You are billed an amount which is an average of the current month and the previous eleven months' total usage. Because it is a twelve-month rolling average, the amount due fluctuates somewhat from month to month.

What if I choose to leave the EZ Bill program prior to the 12-month contract?

If you terminate participation prior to the end of your 12-month contract, a $50 administrative fee may be applied to your account. In addition, you may be billed the difference if your actual usage under your standard rate is more than the EZ Bill amount. You will not receive a refund or credit if your actual usage under your standard rate is less than the EZ Bill amount.

What if my usage is too high?

You will be notified if your weather-adjusted usage is 15% or more than the expected monthly kWh usage. If your usage exceeds the threshold three times, you may be removed from the EZ Bill program and returned to your standard tariff and rate.

If I miss the deadline for enrollment, would I no longer be eligible for EZ Bill? Can I decide to enroll at a later date?

All Indiana customer accounts are reviewed annually for eligibility. If you are eligible, we will send you an email with your custom EZ Bill Offer.
