Call (800) 555-3133 for locations. You’ll need the following information to make your payment:

• Your Veteran Energy account number
• Receive Code: 14212

Depending on your plan, your monthly bill may include five kinds of charges:

• Energy charge, which covers the cost of the electricity itself.
  • Depending on the plan you’ve chosen, this may be split between a flat base charge and one or more per unit (per kWh) charges.
• Service fee, which helps cover Veteran Energy’s costs to maintain your account.
  • Depending on your plan, your service charge may apply to every bill or only to months where your usage is above or below a certain threshold.
• Delivery and transmission charges from your Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU), which cover the cost of delivering your electricity and maintaining the poles and wires.
  • If you’ve selected a bundled plan, your energy charge includes these charges; otherwise, these charges are passed through to you separately.
• TDU metering and customer charges, which help cover your utility’s cost of metering your service and maintaining your account
  • If you’ve selected a bundled plan, your energy charge includes these charges.
• Taxes, including the PUC Assessment.

While Veteran Energy supplies the electricity you use, your TDU owns your meter and the electricity lines. They physically turn meters on and off and perform all maintenance on the meters and electricity lines in your area.

If your plan includes pass-through TDU charges, they will appear as two line items on your bill, and you may notice them changing from time to time.

TDU charges include your local utility’s customer charges, metering charges and delivery charges. They represent the cost of maintaining the poles and wires, transporting the electricity to your home or business, storm restoration and related charges.

The PUC sets these charges, which pass through to you without markup. Because each line reflects regulated charges that can change based on the utility’s approved tariff and other factors such as the cost of providing service, the flat TDU Metering and Customer Charges and the per-kWh Delivery and Transmission Charges may vary from month to month.

We’ll automatically refund your deposit and any applicable interest after 12 months of on-time payments. Once your account qualifies, we’ll apply this amount as a credit on your account within 60 days.

Otherwise, we’ll return your deposit to you within four to six weeks of the date that you discontinue service with Veteran Energy, provided the account doesn’t have an outstanding balance.

Our business customers may have different requirements. Please let us know if we can answer any questions about your account.

We’ve created guides on “How to Read Your Bill” for all our billing options. Click below to learn more.

• Standard Bill
• Budget Bill

Under a tiered plan, each tier corresponds with a price per kWh. Your EFL will detail your tiers and charges, but here’s an example of how a three-tiered plan would work:

• Tier 1: 0 to 500 kWh
• Tier 2: 501 to 1,000 kWh
• Tier 3: 1,001 kWh and over

Under this pricing system, if you use 400 kWh, your usage falls only within tier 1, so you’d be billed for the tier 1 price for all of your usage.

If you use 800 kWh, you’ve exceeded the tier 1 limit, so you’dhave some charges on tier 2 as well. In this case, your first 500 kWh would be billed at the tier 1 price, and then the remaining 300 kWh would be billed on tier 2.

If you use 1,200 kWh, your usage now covers all three tiers. So you’d be billed for 500 kWh on tier 1 and 500 kWh on tier 2, and the remaining 200 kWh would be billed on your tier 3 price.

Keep in mind some plans have a base charge as well as tiers.

If you’re past due and need a little extra time, call us at (800) 578-7070. In most cases, we can schedule a payment arrangement with you.

Under the arrangement, you’ll need to pay the past due balance by an agreed-upon date—failure to do so could keep us from being able to make similar arrangements in the future.
