Bank Draft

Have the exact amount you owe for your electric bill automatically deducted from your checking or savings account each month. You will still receive a monthly statement with the amount due. You also select the date for payment to be deducted from your account. Sign-up.

Budget Billing

Eliminate seasonally high electric bills. By enrolling in Budget Billing, you pay the same amount for 11 months. On the 12th month, your account will be balanced to reflect actual usage. If you have a credit balance, CDE will refund you. If you have a debit balance, you will be sent a bill for this amount. Your budget billing amount is calculated based on your previous 12 months of usage. Therefore, you must have had service at the same address for at least 12 months to qualify.

Selected Billing Program

This program allows qualifying customers to choose the date of the month to pay their electric bill. Retirees and Social Security recipients are eligible as are customers who meet the guidelines of the Department of Human Services and Community Action Agency.

Special Assistance Programs

CDE has programs to assist those who are having trouble paying their electric bill. If you need that assistance, or know someone who does, please call us so that we can discuss payment plans or our special programs for elderly, ill or disabled customers. We also work with assistance agencies in Clarksville and can refer customers to local programs that may be able to help them pay their bill. Please call us so we can help: 931-648-8151.

Third-Party Notification

With Third-Party Notification, CDE will send a disconnect notice to a third party. The third party may be a friend, relative, agency, or someone else the customer chooses. Third-Party Notification may help keep our customers from having their power turned off unnecessarily.

The person or agency a customer selects for Third-Party Notification may help a customer arrange for payment, but would not be responsible for paying the bill. Call 931-648-8151 for more information.
