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.
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.
If you are looking for ways to simplify your life, consider Auto Pay for your electric bill. The amount of the bill will be deducted automatically from your designated bank account on your billing due date. You will still receive your bill in the mail indicating the total amount deducted. If you are interested, please complete the Recurring Payment Information Form through our eBill site, you'll find it located under "Sign Up for Bank Draft" after you login.
You can pay your monthly bill with Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit or debit cards. We can even set up the transactions to automatically pay from your credit card every month by filling out the above Auto Pay Options form.
You can call 751-1839 and pay your bill by phone. Just call the PAY-BY-PHONE number, have your account number ready, and follow the voice prompts. You can pay your bill weekdays, after hours, or even on the weekends. If you are making a payment from your checking account, you will be required to give us the last four digits of your social security number for security purposes. For members in Libby and outside Flathead Valley, call 800-735-8489 and select option #2 for voice prompts. Visa, Mastercard and Discover accepted.
