Singing River Electric service, engineering or staking personnel will work with you and your contractor to determine the location for the point of service and metering equipment; however, we assume no responsibility to change the location of the service entrance should it be improperly installed or if our site location is not utilized.

To avoid delays, please meet with our representatives before installing your equipment. The service entrance or house power panel must be installed on exterior walls and should be placed in locations that are easily accessible to our employees for meter maintenance, reading, inspecting and removal.

When electricity is needed for building construction, Singing River Electric will connect temporary service. The temporary power pole, wiring and equipment are to be supplied by the member, or installed by your contractor, builder or electrician. We ask that temporary outlets be placed at lot lines or lot corners, where existing transformers or pedestals are located. The member must call 811 prior to digging.

A service charge is required on all temporary service accounts. A membership fee and deposit may also be required. These fees are outlined in the association’s schedule of fees and deposits, (link to fees and charges)

Singing River Electric will connect only one set of service drop conductors per building except as permitted by the National Electrical Code. All meters are supplied and installed by the cooperative and remain the property of Singing River Electric.

To transfer or disconnect your service, please contact any Singing River Electric office.

Requests for electric service to new commercial, industrial accounts and subdivisions should be made to our staking technicians or engineering department. We will gladly work with you on plan design, lot layout and other specifications to provide your service.

Understanding My Bill

Our office and call center hours for all locations are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Emergency and outage reporting is available 24/7 by using the SmartHub app, or calling any Singing River Electric office.

Take charge of your power bill with the SmartHub app. The SmartHub app is the fastest and most accurate way to report a power outage, view a LIVE outage map or monthly energy use, and pay your electric bill. Member account information is easily accessible and you can even view past bills.

View daily and monthly use to monitor energy use and learn when your family uses energy. See how your energy use and billing amount is trending based on the weather.

Online billing can be set up by clicking on the “Pay Bill” button in the top right of your screen and signing up for online payments. You will receive an email reminder of when your bill is due and an email confirmation that your payment has been received. All transactions are completed using Secure Socket Layer account technology.

Paperless billing is easy. Log in to your account. Click on the “Stop/Start Print Bill” link on left side bar. Uncheck the box that says, “Send me statement by email.” Please make sure the email address you use to log in is the same email you want to use for paperless billing.

Mail

Summary/Invoice billing is for members who have more than one account and would like a summary bill statement.

Budget billing averages your monthly billing statements based on a 12-month average that is re-adjusted in January and July of each year. You pay the average bill, are able to budget for your electric bill each month and avoid sharp increases due to the seasonal fluctuation of electricity usage.

The SmartHub mobile and web applications place the power of data in your hands. Download the mobile app on your phone or tablet to pay your bill, check your use, review account information, or report a power outage. The web app can be used to pay your bill, check your use, and review account information.

Online payments can be made by clicking the “Pay Bill” button at the top left of your screen. (Credit card, debit card,, and eCheck payments accepted.)

IVR (Integrated voice response) allows payments and account inquiries to be made by phone using the automated system. It is as quick and efficient as punching a few buttons. Enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN*), have your account number ready, and call any Singing River Electric office and press “3”. (Credit card, debit card, and eCheck payments accepted.)

*To set your PIN #, simply follow the prompts in the IVR system or call our office to speak to a Member Service Representative.

Recurring payments can be set up two ways: members can set up recurring payments online to pay by credit card,  debit card, or eCheck by clicking on the “Pay Bill“ link at the top right of www.singingriver.com, or you can call* any Singing River Electric office and set up an Electronic Funds Transfer payment option which automatically pays your bill each month from the banking account you choose within fourteen days after receiving your billing statement. (*Members who call in will need to mail in a signed form and voided check to complete recurring payment service setup.)

Mail payments are convenient with the self-addressed envelope enclosed with every billing statement. Simply apply postage and mail.

Pay at any office. Our office and phone center hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Cash, check, money orders, and credit/debit card payments accepted.)

Be aware of growing phone and online payment scams targeting electric cooperative members and utility customers across the nation. Phone scammers pose as your electric cooperative, notify you that your are delinquent, and ask for immediate payment to prevent disconnection of service. They may ask you to pay over the phone or by a prepaid debit card. They even have resources to deceive you by having the caller ID display Singing River Electric. DO NOT MAKE THE REQUESTED PAYMENT. Hang up, use your SmartHub app to check your billing payment history, or call any Singing River Electric office to verify the status of your account.

Remember:

  • Singing River Electric Cooperative employees do not call members to collect payment. They do not take payments at any location other than SREC's three offices. Payments are taken in person only inside the office and during regular business hours. Payments can be taken over the phone, but only when dialing one of SREC's main office locations.
  • If you are unsure if you are talking to a Singing River Electric employee, hang up and call any Singing River Electric office to verify call. Do not call back the number that called you.
  • Never give personal banking or credit information over the phone.
  • Do not agree to meet anyone anywhere to make a SREC payment.
  • Singing River Electric members can easily check payment status and pay online at singingriver.com or using the SmartHub app on any mobile device, on the www.singingriver.com website, or by calling any SREC office.
