Responding to Member Needs

As a result of the increasing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, SMPA is taking measures to sustain electric service to our communities, no matter what. This includes looking out for individuals and businesses who experience a financial hardship related to the circumstance. In addition to providing options for helping you afford your power bill, SMPA has suspended service disconnects for non-pay for residential and small-commercial accounts. We also recognize that small measures can add up to a big impact, therefore late fees have been suspended as well.

The Bottom Line:

As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, our bottom line is you. We understand how this pandemic is already affecting our local economy and we are here to help. Therefore, if you are having trouble paying your bill please give us a call and we will set up a plan that works for you.
