How it works
The BudgetPlan provides an average monthly
bill based on your past energy usage and estimated future prices, so you always
know how much to budget for your NIPSCO bill.
We'll review your account periodically
for any unexpected increases in the cost of energy or your usage, and may
adjust your budget payment amount to make sure your actual account balance
is on track.
Each May, the amount you have paid is compared to your
actual account balance.
If you've overpaid, the settle-up will be applied to future
billings. If you've underpaid, the balance due will spread over the next 12
months.
