Bank draft is the easiest way to ensure your payment is made on time every month. Simply designate an account, and your bill amount will be automatically debited each month.
With your authorization, Fayette Electric Cooperative will draft your bill automatically from your checking account on or about the 10th of each month. You’ll still receive a copy of the bill for your records.

You can also set up recurring payments on your own through our website using SmartHub®. Once you sign in to SmartHub, go to the Billing and Payments tab, and then scroll down to the Auto Pay Accounts link. From there, click on “Sign up for Auto Pay” to the right of your screen. Here you will be able to add a checking account number.

The Average Payment Plan helps eligible residential Members manage their electric bills with predictable monthly payments. Each month, Members pay a fixed amount based on one-twelfth of their average annual usage, calculated from the past 13 months.
Every June, FEC will review the total amount the Member would have paid under standard billing, compare it to the total of the average payments made, and adjust the account accordingly. The monthly payment amount for the next 12 months will then be recalculated based on any changes in the Member’s average consumption.
To qualify, you must:
- Meet the Cooperative’s requirements for a Permanent Residential Dwelling or a Permanent Installation.
- Have received service from the Cooperative for the past 12 consecutive months as a Member at the service location
- Maintain a good payment history with not more than one delinquent payment in the last 12 months, and
- Have had no service disconnects for nonpayment during the past 12 months
Fayette Electric Cooperative shall offer, upon request, a deferred payment plan to any residential Member who has expressed an inability to pay all the Member’s bill, if the Member has not been issued more than two termination notices at any time during the preceding 12 months.
The Cooperative is not required to enter into a deferred payment agreement with any Member who is lacking sufficient credit or a satisfactory history of payment for previous service when the Member has had service from FEC for not more than three months.
