Each month the amount due on your bill will be automatically withdrawn from your bank account or charged to a credit card and paid directly to Medina EC.
Automatic payments may be set up using American Express, Discover, Visa, MasterCard or any valid bank account.
How to:
Phone - Call 1-866-632-3532 and choose Option 3 to follow the prompts. Automatic payments must be set up using the automated payment system.
Online - Log in to SmartHub (If this is your first time to use SmartHub, you will need to choose the new user option and set up your account.)

You can add a new card or bank, or use an existing if you have paid your bill online before. Continue through the process to set up your automatic credit card or bank information.
Budget Payment Plan Options
There are two options for members who would like to pay a more predictable, budgeted amount on their electric bill each month. For either of these options, fill out the budget payment agreement and select the budget plan that works best for you.
-
Levelized Payment: In this option, the member will pay a set monthly amount based on the average use of the previous 12 months. A carry-over calculation will be made every 12 months and a credit or debit will be added to the account based on the actual use. A new monthly payment amount will then be calculated based on the previous year's average use.
-
Average Payment: In this option, the member pays the average of the previous 11 months plus the current month. Monthly budget payments fluctuates from month to month because they are based on a rolling 12 month average. There is not a settle-up or carry-over since the current month’s use is included in the current billing calculation.
PrePaid Electricity
If you would prefer to make lump sum payments ahead of time for the electricity you use, PrePaid may be for you. It requires no deposits and makes it easier for some members to manage their electric use. Read more about the program here.
