Auto Pay – Receive a monthly bill credit
Simplify your life by setting up automatic payments. Flathead Electric offers an automatic $0.50 monthly bill credit to members who use auto pay. The amount of your electric bill will be deducted automatically from your designated bank account on your billing due date. Set up auto pay options through your online account (under “Billing and Payments” and “Auto Pay Accounts”). You will still receive your bill in the mail indicating the total amount deducted, unless you choose to go paperless.
Go Paperless – Receive a monthly bill credit
Are you set up to view and pay your bill electronically, and no longer want to receive a paper bill? Flathead Electric offers an automatic $0.50 monthly bill credit to members who go paperless. To go paperless, log into to your online account, go to “My Profile” and click on “Update My Printed Bill Settings.” Use the slider to turn the printed bill status to “OFF” next to each account for which you no longer want to receive a paper bill.
Pay By Phone
Our automated pay-by-phone system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 406-751-1839 or 877-761-4637.
Simply call with your account number and follow the voice prompts. If you’re making a payment from your checking account, you will need to provide the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Payments cannot be accepted over the phone by office staff.

Billing Options
Flex Pay
Flex Pay lets you take charge of your energy budget – you control when and how much you pay. You’ll buy electricity in advance, and that electricity will be automatically applied to your account. You can track your usage and account balance, so you’ll always know where you are within your budget, and you can add any amount of money to your electrical account at any time that’s convenient for you.
Flex Pay participants avoid paper bills and late fees, and are not subject to deposits or connection fees. A minimum electricity purchase of $50 is required to get started (smaller payment amounts are accepted after you enroll).
Contact us to learn more about Flex Pay.
Budget Billing
Budget Billing allows members to level their bill amounts throughout the year to help with budgeting.
Under this plan, your last twelve month’s usage is averaged to determine your monthly bill amount (your monthly bill still may vary slightly based on seasonal usage).
A twelve month usage history at the address is required to enroll. Contact us to set up this option.
