SmartHub logoValley Rural Electric Cooperative uses an online bill presentment and payment service called SmartHub. You can access your account history and pay your electric bills online using SmartHub's secure interface. Some key features of SmartHub include:

  • Process your payments
    You can use a major credit card, debit card, or electronic check transaction to pay your electric bill. You can set up (or stop) recurring payments. You may add multiple payment methods, manage those methods, and select which method to use for a particular payment.
  • View your history
    You are able to view your current and historical billing information, payment history, and energy use graphs. You may also compare two bills from different months. You can include weather data on the graphs and charts to show how the temperature might have affected your electricity use.
  • Receive and send notifications
    You have the ability to set up various contact methods by e-mail, text message, or both. You can choose what type of notifications you receive about your account such as bill is ready, payment is due, and payment was received. You may send messages and report outages to the co-op.

Pay Now (without registration)

When the Pay Now screen appears, you will be prompted to enter your account number and the name on the account. The amount due will be displayed, and you will have the option to pay your bill.
