We’re here for you.
To assist our members, Umatilla Electric Cooperative is joining all Oregon Electric Cooperatives in temporarily suspending residential disconnections. If you are experiencing difficulty paying your electric bill, please contact Customer Service for resources or visit our Energy Assistance page.

Billing Options That Serve You Best
Budget Billing
Budget your power bill by paying the same monthly amount throughout the year, based on average usage of the past 12 months. By equalizing your payments, you avoid the seasonal peaks associated with heating and cooling months. Your average billing amount is reviewed and adjusted each year. Participation requires a 12-month continuous use history. You may sign up online or visit UEC’s Hermiston or Boardman offices for help.
Recurring Bill Payment
In Recurring Bill Payments, the amount of your monthly bill is withdrawn from the account you specify, checking/savings or use a credit/debit card. You don’t have to write a check or go out to pay your bill. Sign up online for Recurring Payments. If you are a member who uses our recurring payment program, you will need to re-register in SmartHub.
Service Charges
All bills are due and payable 15 days after they are issued, except as specified by rate schedules and contracts. Umatilla Electric service charges are assessed according to board policy and equity to all UEC members. Charges are as follows:
| Trouble calls | Free |
| Disconnection | Free |
| Service connections during normal office hours | Free |
| Reconnect fees during normal office hours | $20 |
| Service connections for all other hours | $75 |
| Reconnect fees for all other hours | $75 |
| Collection contact charge | $15 |
| NSF Check Fee | $25 |
| Tampering/Unauthorized Connect Fee | $150 |
NOTE: If UEC is called outside of normal working hours to restore/repair service and it is determined the problem or fault is located between UEC’s meter and the customer’s service, UEC may charge the member for time incurred in making this determination.
