For many members, the COVID-19 pandemic is not just a public health crisis – it is a growing economic crisis as well. The suspension of disconnects kept power flowing to homes and businesses across Northeastern Indiana during the first several months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many members even contributed to our neighbor-aid program to help others pay their electric bills. The generosity of our members is something we don’t take for granted.
Now, as many businesses reopen and more and more people are headed back to work, we wanted to shift our focus to giving you as many options as you need to get your electric bill back on track. The temporary suspension of disconnects, was not a bill waiver, and we understand the difficulty in getting caught up on any bill after falling behind. This is why our team has come up with some creative options for you to choose from.
The most important thing you can do is talk to us. Please don’t feel embarrassed if you need to discuss payment options. We understand that COVID-19 has caused circumstances out of everyone’s control. We’re here to help and are committed to continuing to power life’s moments for you and all of our members.
Additional financial resources are available or learn about our prepay plan.
In order to keep delivering the excellent reliability of your electric system, it is critical for Northeastern REMC to have a healthy workplace for key personnel available for emergency situations and power restoration.
The lobby has re-opened as of Monday, February 22. We ask members to wear a mask and stay socially distanced while in the lobby.
You can also pay your bill and manage your account online or utilize the drive-thru and dropbox.
Thanks for helping us keep our employees and members safe!
