Credit Card Payments Using Paymentus

Pay your bill online using Paymentus Corporation with Mastercard or VISA. Paymentus Corporation is an independent company and charges a convenience fee to pay your bill using their service, however, E.L.K. Energy does not retain any portion of the convenience fee.

To pay by credit card, you may phone 1-877-479-3227, or pay online through Paymentus Corporation.

Budget Billing Plan

If knowing your monthly payment in advance works better for your budget, then our Budget Billing Plans will work best for you.  We estimate your monthly bill amount based on the previous 12 months of usage.  Every October is our reconciliation month where your actual usage and estimated usage are reviewed and you will receive a credit or debit balance, depending on whether you used more or less electricity than the estimated amount.

Budget Billing is available through our Customer Service staff. Your account balance must be current before you can be set up on Budget Billing. Please contact the office at 519-776-5291 to find out what your Budget Billing amount would be. You can monitor your consumption and balance in your MyE.L.K.Account. If you notice you are in a debit balance, you can increase your payment at any time by calling the office to avoid a debit balance withdrawal during reconciliation month.
