The Go Green to Win Green Contest registration period has ended.
Thank you to those who have participated in our Go Green to Win Green campaign. Those who registered for paperless billing on or before December 31, 2020 have been entered into a draw to win a $1,000 credit to be put on their bill. Please note that the contest Rules and Regulations have been revised due to the onset of COVID-19. The revisions can be found below in the Rules and Regulations section. In addition, Essex Powerlines has postponed its paperless billing mandate for all customers until further notice.
When you choose paperless, you choose the environment.
Did you know that if every Essex Powerlines customer switched to paperless billing, we could save over 250 trees and 67 CO2e a year?
Stay tuned for more green initiatives that will be implemented throughout the year! To Sign up for paperless today and to help make an impact on the environment, visit our customer portal, MyAccount.
