Equal Monthly Payment Plan

Residential and small Commercial/Industrial customers of Espanola Regional Hydro are eligible to participate in the Monthly Equal Payment Plan. The amount will be based on your average billing for the last twelve-month period, so for that reason, the Equal Payment Plan is ideally suited for customers with at least twelve months of history with Espanola Regional Hydro. If twelve months of billing history is not available, the amount will be determined by one of our Customer Accounts Specialists. Your account will be reviewed at least twice per year to ensure that your monthly equal payment amount remains reasonable. You will be advised on your regular bill if the amount has been re-assessed. June is the reconciliation month when your bill will reflect the monthly budget amount, plus or minus any adjustments for overpayment or underpayment. To participate in the Equal Monthly Payment Plan, please contact our Customer Service department at customerservice@erhydro.com or 705-869-2771.

Pay from the comfort of your home, using the internet or telephone banking services of your financial institution. Both are easy to set up, just ask your bank or financial institution for details. You will need your Espanola Regional Hydro account number to ensure your payments are received and posted to your account on time. If your bank requires 13 digits, add two zero's before your new account number. Espanola Regional Hydro usually receives the payment advice within two business days to apply to your account.
