Trip Fee – a charge of $80.00 may be assessed each time a service employee must be sent to the consumer’s service location during normal business hours as a result of non-payment or from a consumer’s special request.  This fee will be applicable whether or not the service is disconnected or reconnected.

Transformer Service Fee – if the situation warrants a consumer to be disconnected or reconnected at the transformer (versus at the meter) as a result of non-payment or from a consumer’s special request, a minimum $150.00 fee may apply.

Disconnect Fee – When a consumer is remotely disconnected and reconnected within a 30 day window due to non-payment or from a consumer’s special request, a fee of $20.00 shall apply.  If reconnection occurs outside of the 30 day window, REMC reserves the right to charge an additional $20.00 for reconnection of service.

Meter Tampering Fee – a charge of $150.00 will be assessed if it has been discovered that there was illegal tampering with the electric meter.  This is in addition to all other applicable charges.

Returned Payment Fee – When a payment is received for a member’s account and is returned unpaid for any reason (not the fault of the REMC), the member shall be assessed a handling fee of $35.00.

Transformer Over-Capacity Request – If a customer desires a larger transformer than what JCREMC deems necessary, then JCREMC reserves the right to perform an engineering analysis at the customer’s expense.  The minimum monthly billed demand may be equal to 50% of the transformer capacity if the larger transformer is requested.

Disconnect Information – Payments must be received in the JCREMC office on or before the specified dates by 8:00 A.M. to avoid a late payment fee or disconnection for nonpayment

No checks will be accepted on or after the specified disconnection day.

Failure to receive a bill does not exempt consumers from monthly payments, accruing late charges, or disconnection.
