We Offer Flexible Payment Options

April 1, 2024

For your convenience, Trico has a number of ways that you can pay your bill. Budget Billing and Pay As You Go are two easy bill pay options that we provide.

Budget Billing

Want to know what your bill will be each month? Budget Billing is an optional Trico payment plan that allows you to pay for your electric use in equal monthly installments. We offer two options: Levelized Budget and Fixed Budget.

Variable Budget

With this option, the amount you owe is recalculated every month based on the last eleven (11) months’ kilowatt-hour usage plus the number of kilowatt-hours used in the current month. Though the Variable Budget option helps make your payments more even, the amount you pay is not the same every month.

Fixed Budget

With this option, your payment is the same every month. The amount is calculated once a year based on the last eleven (11) months’ kilowatt-hour usage plus the number of kilowatt-hours used in the current month. Every May the account is evaluated, and adjustments are made if necessary.

If you meet the requirements for our billing plans and would like to apply, fill out the form on our website. For questions, contact Member Services at 520-744-2944.

Pay As You Go

If you prefer to pay for electricity in advance, our Pay As You Go program is a good option for you. Pay As You Go is a self-managed program. You purchase electricity before you use it. Payments can be made when you want – online, over the phone, on the SmartHub app or in person at Trico’s office. When your account runs low, you will get an alert by email, text or phone call.
