Pre-Pay
You can now decide how often to purchase your electricity and how much you buy with each purchase. Be in control of both with Pre-Pay metering from Diverse Power Incorporated (DPI). This program allows you to make advance purchases of electricity in any dollar amount you wish, as often as you wish. As the kilowatt hours you have purchased are used, your balance will be reduced accordingly.
For those who have internet access, purchases can be made on a secure site that allows you to buy electricity, view current and past usage, and receive alerts when your purchased energy is close to being used up. For those who do not have access to the internet, purchases can be made in the DPI office and your alerts can be sent to your cell phone. Other benefits of Pre-Pay metering are no more bills and no more security deposits when signing up for new service. Click the Pre-pay agreement link to complete the form online or contact customer service for details.
Levelized Billing
Would you like a way to closely budget for your electric bill each month? DPI has a levelized billing option that bills you the average amount of the most recent 12 months, rather than the actual amount. Everyone’s electric bill varies each month due to factors such as weather, vacations, school breaks, appliance malfunctions, and lifestyle changes. Also, DPI’s winter and summer rates are different, resulting in variations in your electric bill depending on the time of year. The levelized billing option takes away the up-and-down dollar amounts of your electric bill by letting you pay the average each month. If you are a new member, you must wait 12 months before signing up for the program so that an accurate assessment of your bill amounts will help you in your decision to participate. Sign up today or call customer service (706.845.2000) for details. Terms and conditions apply.
Invoice Billing
Do you receive more than one electric bill from DPI each month? If so, you can choose invoice billing as an alternative to getting multiple billing statements in your mail. Each meter that you have on the DPI system is read monthly and then individually billed. For members who have more than one meter in their name, this results in separate bills being mailed to them in separate envelopes with return envelopes included. By having your bills combined on one statement, you receive one easy-to-read bill that still itemizes each account separately. Invoice billing makes your life easier, saves paper and the environment, and helps DPI keep its costs down. Contact customer service for details.
Paperless Billing (E-Bills)
Reduce the amount of all that mail you receive every month? You can take a step in that direction with Paperless Billing from DPI. By signing up for Paperless Billing, you will not receive a paper bill in the mail every month, instead your bill will come to you via the internet as an E-Bill. There are great advantages to E-Billing: you eliminate a paper bill – this helps the environment and helps DPI reduce costs; you receive your bill as soon as it is produced; you can view your bill from anywhere in the world that you can access your email; and, by eliminating the mail system, you give yourself a few extra days after receiving your bill before it is due. Get your bill electronically – contact us or call customer service (706.845.2000). Learn more >
