Electricity is essential to powering our lives and staying connected, now more than ever. We are working diligently to protect our employees, so we can continue to safely deliver reliable, affordable power to our customers. And, we will continue to support our customers through these challenging times.
We realize many of our customers are facing challenges right now. For this reason, we have made the following changes.
We encourage customers to continue to pay what they can and to reach out to our Customer Contact Specialists at 1-877-ASK-NPPD (275-6773) to make payment arrangements. We do not want anyone to get too far behind because it will only make it more challenging to catch up when we resume our normal processes.
Based on recommendations by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we suspended walk-in traffic at all customer service centers on March 19th, until further notice. For customers who usually pay their utility bills at NPPD facilities, we recommend the following payment methods.
Residential Customers
