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 have a $0 balance
•    You must have 12 months of consumption history on your account
•    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 CPP 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 (Power Supply Recovery Charge).
•    If you move to another residence serviced by CPP while on Budget Billing, this plan can transfer. However, your Budget Billing amount may increase or decrease based on the historical usage tracked in our system for that location.
•    On the final month of Budget Billing, you may have a balance owed or an overpayment on your account. 
•    If there is any balance owed, payment is due in full by the due date printed on the bill.
•    If there is an overpayment, you will start your new Budget Billing year with a credit balance.
•    Overpayments and balances owed are reflected on the customer’s monthly bill. 
•    The following month, your new Budget Billing year will begin with a possible adjustment to your budgeted amount.
•    Failure to pay on your monthly budget payment plan for two (2) consecutive months will automatically remove you from Budget Billing.
