To help our members during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bartholomew County REMC temporarily suspended service disconnections due to nonpayment of bills and late fees. Starting on July 6, BCREMC will resume disconnections for accounts with a past due balance. BCREMC will also begin charging late fees after the July 9 due date.

We want to help you avoid disconnection of your electric service and do what we can to help members with their past due balances. We understand you may be facing financial difficulties because of COVID-19. We’re here to help.
