Budget Billing

With Budget Billing, our residential customers have an opportunity to spread their costs over a year, and know what the monthly bill is before it comes in the mail. 
How does it Work?

  • Budget billing is your monthly average use based on the prior 12-month electrical billing cycle, and it includes a 10% increase from your average monthly bill. 
  • By signing up for CPP’s Budget Billing you can alleviate higher bill payments during seasonal changes
  • Enrollment is now open

Eligibility Requirements

  • Open to Residential customers only
  • Your bill must be current
  • You must have 12 months of consumption history on your account

Guidelines

  • You may cancel Budget Billing at any time by contacting our Customer Information Center (216-664-4600)
  • Enrollment will be automatically renewed each year unless you cancel your Budget Billing
  • Your Cleveland Public Power bill will now show your Budget
  • Billing amount; it will continue to show actual read, consumption, residential electric charge, state taxes (ORC), and the actual cost of purchasing electricity (Energy Adj. Charge).
  • If you move to another residence serviced by CPP while on Budget Billing, this plan can transfer; but your budgeted amount may increase or decrease due to your actual usage in your new location.
  • On the final month of Budget Billing, you may have a debit or credit.
  • If there is any amount owed (debit), payment is due in full by the due date printed on the bill
  • If there is an overpayment (credit) you will start your new Budget Billing year with a credit balance
  • The following month, your new Budget Billing year will begin with a possible adjustment to your budgeted amount

Defaulting on your monthly budget payment plan for two (2) consecutive months, will cause your removal from Budget Billing.
