Pre-Authorized Payment        

You can authorize Maritime Electric to receive your monthly payment directly from your bank account. Maritime Electric will automatically debit your account each month for the amount owed. No postage fees, no standing in line at the bank, and no worrying. We do all the work. We will also provide notice on your monthly statement when your payment will be debited. There is no charge to the customer for using the Pre-Authorized Plan and Residential customers can use this plan in conjunction with the Equalized Payment Plan. Contact your nearest Maritime Electric office for more information.


Equalized Payment Plan       

Maritime Electric offers the Equalized Payment Plan designed to allow customers to make their monthly payment in equal amounts for eleven months of the year with an adjustment being made in the twelfth or anniversary month. This will avoid the late payment charge on your bill by having the payment come due at the first of each month.

If you are interested in joining the plan, please contact the nearest Maritime Electric office.

• Who is eligible? All Maritime Electric year-round customers.
  
  
• How does the Plan work? The monthly amount will be based on one-twelfth of the previous twelve months consumption and the estimated average rates for the ensuing year. This is the amount you pay each month for eleven months.
  
  
• New Customer Payment Amount - If a record of the preceding twelve months is not available, a mutually acceptable monthly amount may be agreed upon by the Company and the customer.    
  
• Anniversary Month - In the anniversary month, any outstanding balance will be due and payable. Any credit balance may be applied to future bills at your request.
  
  
• Due Date Payments - Under the Equalized Payment Plan, payment must be made on or before the 5th of each month.
  
  
• Prior Outstanding Account Balances - To qualify for the Equalized Payment Plan, all prior account balances must be paid in full.
  
  
• Late Payment of Equalized Amounts - Late payments are subject to the Company's normal procedures regarding penalties and collection.
  
  The Equalized Payment may be cancelled by the Company if the account is not paid regularly each month.
  
  
• Billing Procedures - Monthly bills are issued as usual showing the consumption and charges for the current period. The bill will show the accumulated credits and or debits as well as the equalized amount for you to pay. Payments may be made by pre-authorized payments, direct debit, postdated cheques or monthly cash.

There is no extra charge to the customer for using the Equalized Payment Plan. Contact your nearest Maritime Electric office listed on our CONTACT US page if you wish to join this plan.
