CEL&P will mail a delinquent notice if the bill has not been paid by the due date stated on the original bill. The delinquent notice will include the penalty amount and disconnect date. If the bill has not been paid by the disconnect date, service will be terminated at the service address.

Customers needing financial assistance can contact local agencies for help.

One time each calendar year, CEL&P offers customers the ability to apply for an extension. The extension must be completed in the CEL&P lobby and 10% of the bill is due at that time in order to secure the extension. This gives the customer extra time to pay their past due balance.

The state-moratorium period is from December 1 thru March 15 each year. During this period, qualified energy assistance recipients are protected by the state moratorium guidelines prohibiting the utility from disconnecting services.

Customers can request a second reading if they feel the meter reading was in error. Customers can also request to have their meter tested for accuracy once every 36 months at no charge. The request to have the meter tested must be in writing. If a subsequent meter test is required within the next 36 months, a fee may be charged.

Customers need to come to the CEL&P office at 808 Lafayette Road. You will need to present a valid government-issued photo ID and your social security number.

To determine if a deposit is required, all customers will be subject to a credit check. If a deposit is necessary, payment must be received before service can be connected.

If the account has no more than 1 late payment in a 12-month period, the security deposit will be applied to the next month’s bill. When customers transfer service within CEL&P territory, their deposit will be moved to the new account.

All customers must come to the CEL&P office to sign a disconnect form.
