Here is an overview of the simple payment options offered by Mn Energy Resources:
Pay Automatically

You can also call our customer service line and speak with a representative to set up recurring auto pay. It only takes a few minutes.

If you prefer to review your bill and initiate payment yourself each month, paying online is quick and convenient. You can pay by credit/debit card or electronic check through your online account portal or the Mn Energy Resources mobile app.
You’ll have the ability to view your current charges, see previous bills, and check your payment history. Once you’ve reviewed your bill, submitting payment takes just a click. You’ll receive a confirmation email after the transaction is complete for your records.

Pay By Mail
If you prefer to mail in a payment, you can send a check or money order along with your payment stub to the address printed on your bill. Be sure to write your account number on the check and allow enough time for your payment to be delivered by the due date to avoid late fees.
Keep in mind that mailing a paper check takes more effort on your part and the payment will take longer to process. But for those who enjoy the routine of sitting down to pay bills each month, mailing your payment can be satisfying.

Visiting a service center also gives you the opportunity to talk to a customer service agent face-to-face if you have any billing questions or need help managing your account. Our local staff is there to provide exceptional personalized service.
Get Payment Extensions or Arrange Payment Plans
We understand that due to financial hardship like job loss, medical bills, or other circumstances, some customers may need extra time to pay their energy bill. Mn Energy Resources offers payment extensions and flexible payment plans to customers in need.
If you are struggling to pay on time, contact us before the due date to request an extension or make arrangements to pay the balance over time. As long as you have communicated with us in advance and make agreed upon payments, we can prevent service interruption.
Extended payment plans allow you to pay past due balances over a series of months. We’ll work with you to set up a schedule that is affordable so you can pay down the balance over time while keeping your service activated.
Receive Payment Assistance
For low-income customers, payment assistance programs are available to help cover energy bills. The Energy Assistance Program provides eligible households with a grant applied directly to their utility account to maintain or restore service.
You can also look into the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and the Minnesota Cold Weather Rule Plan which protect qualifying customers from disconnection during winter months. Contact Mn Energy Resources to learn how to apply for bill payment assistance if money is tight.
Understand Billing Cycles and Due Dates
Mn Energy Resources bills residential customers monthly and business customers on approximately 20-day billing cycles. Your specific meter read and due dates are shown on your individual bill.
Bills are issued around the same time each month and are typically due 21 days after the statement date. However, due dates can vary slightly from month to month. Always check your current bill for the exact due date to avoid late fees.
If you notice your usage or charges are higher than normal any given month, check the statement period. A higher or lower number of days between meter read dates can impact your bill. Also look for fees that may occasionally be tacked on like a special rate adjustment.
Understanding billing cycles and carefully reviewing dates and usage helps ensure accurate bills that you can confidently pay on time. Monitor your charges regularly and contact us right away if you spot any discrepancies.
