Billing and Meter Reading

All Flathead Electric members receive a bill monthly on one of six monthly billing cycles. Bills go out on the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th of each month; due dates for these respective cycles are the 20th, 25th, 1st, 5th, 10th and 15th of the following month.

Flathead Electric reads meters monthly. Meter readers read some accounts. The Cooperative has about 60,000 automated meters, and the reading is taken via computer from the office. The Cooperative is gradually phasing-in automated meters to all accounts.

If you have questions about your bill, call the Kalispell office at (406) 751-4483 or toll-free at 1-800-735-8489, call (406) 293-7122 in Libby.

Levelized Billing

Flathead Electric has available a levelized billing plan for any members who wish to average their electric payments. Under this plan, the member's last twelve months usage is averaged. The monthly bill may vary slightly based on seasonal usage.
