Introducing PayGo, an easy, convenient way to pay your electric bill while you run your errands!
Pay your bill where you shop, with over 50,000 retail locations nationwide. Heres how it works:
- Obtain your unique barcode.
- Take it with you where you shop.
- Make a cash payment at the cash register*. Your payment is instantly applied to your WEMC bill.
A Levelized Bill is a rolling average of your monthly bills for the most recent twelve (12) months. Averaging the bills reduces fluctuations in your monthly bill – it brings the highest bills down a little, and takes the lowest bills up a little. Levelized billing is most appreciated during periods of heavy KWH usage, usually caused by extreme temperatures, hot or cold, and holidays.
