Account Type

Traditional Billing

Butte Electric members are subject to a $350 deposit. We will accept a "Letter of Credit" from your most recent utility provider to determine if a minimum deposit of $350 is required. Deposits are refunded when you leave our service territory. The $350 deposit will be added to your first electric bill.

Prepaid Account

Butte Electric Cooperative offers a prepaid billing option for members who would like an alternative to the traditional method of billing. Prepaid allows members to pay for their power up front with the funds being withdrawn from their account as they use energy. A member enrolled in prepaid billing will have money withdrawn from their account every day following a daily bill calculation. The funds that are withdrawn will cover the energy and flat costs associated with providing electricity to that member along with any additional taxes and fees. An fee of $50 is required to start a prepaid accounts. This fee will go towards energy usage.
