    How is the budget billing amount calculated?

    First, we add up all the costs you have incurred over the past 12 months. They generally include:

    • the value of the electricity you use
    • rental costs (for example, if you rent a water heater or other equipment through us)
    • pass-through charges like the charge that helps fund the statewide energy efficiency utility and the charge that helps fund the energy assistance program for low-income Vermonters

    We then divide that number by 12. This determines the budget amount you will pay each month for the next 12 months.
