SCI REMC - New Member Packet

Welcome to SCI REMC! We’re glad you’re on our lines. 

The SCI REMC team understands the important role we have with your family and in our community. We’ve been a trusted community partner for over 80 years, and it’s those communities we serve that have shaped who we are today. Now, that includes you too. You’re helping us make our community a better place to live, to raise a family, and to enjoy this wonderful place we call home.

From sending high school students to tour our nation’s capital to Operation Round Up, a charitable initiative driven by member donations, we’re working hard to give back. Learn more about our community-focused programs on our website under Community.

SCI REMC is different from other electric utilities. We’re a not-for-profit cooperative owned by the members we serve. We encourage you to take a few minutes to browse your membership guide to learn more. Please call 800.264.7362 if you have any questions about your membership or our services.

Cooperatively,
James Tanneberger
President and CEO

Membership Perks

Member Newsletter
Every month you will receive the member newsletter. The newsletter will keep you up-to-date with co-op stories, new products and services, member events, and more! Also found here

Annual Meeting
Every fall, SCI REMC hosts an Annual Member Meeting to conduct cooperative business and elect directors for the Board. Members also enjoy a special gift and prizes. 

Capital Credits
When you signed up to receive electric service from SCI REMC, you became a member and an owner of an electric cooperative. While investor-owned utilities return profits back to their investors, electric cooperatives give margins back to the member-owners in the form of “capital credits.”

Charging Ahead with Electric Vehicles
SCI REMC has resources available on our website to help you learn more about electric vehicles and if they are something you should consider when purchasing your next vehicle. More Info

Technology and Member Seminars
Throughout the year, SCI REMC hosts various seminars and workshops for members to share new technologies and resources. Follow us on social media or contact our office at 800.264.7362 to check on upcoming opportunities.

Understanding Your Bill

Bill

1 Billing Summary
This section shows your account number, billing due date, the total amount due, and any potential late payment penalties.

2 Usage Chart
For most account types, this table shows electric usage by month in terms of kilowatt-hours used. This graph shows your consumption over the past 13 months.

3 Meter and Readings 
This row presents your meter number, number of days in the billing cycle, meter readings, and kWh usage.

4 Current Charges 
This section details current charges, including the basic service charge, recent payments, energy usage, and taxes.

5 Operation RoundUp
Your electric bill is “rounded-up” to the next highest dollar amount. The extra cents go directly into a community fund that is administered by a board of trustees made up of representatives from the communities SCI REMC serves. For more information, visit sciremc.com/roundup or call 800.264.7362.

6 Important Account Information 
This box will contain any messages, announcements, or important account-specific information from your cooperative.

7 Remittance Stub
The bottom of the statement is a tear-off remittance stub to be returned with your payment. You can also pay by phone, by mail, through our SCI Connect app, or online at sciremc.com. 

 

Basic Service Charge
The basic service charge is a flat, monthly fee charged per meter. The charge exists to assist in covering the costs of bringing power to your meter, including such things as electrical wire, transformers, poles, maintenance, and administrative costs, regardless of the amount of electricity you use.

Billing Cycles
SCI REMC utilizes a system of cycle billing for meter reading. This means that meters are read throughout the entire month, and bills are issued at four different times/cycles during the month. There are four cycle areas covered by SCI REMC with separate billing schedules:

Cycle 1 - area north and east of Martinsville    
                Due Date: 28th

Cycle 2 - area south and southeast of Martinsville
                Due Date: 5th

Cycle 3 - area southwest of Martinsville
                Due Date: 12th

Cycle 4 - area northwest of Martinsville
                Due Date: 19th
​
Meter Reading
SCI REMC utilizes an automated meter reading (AMR) system that uses our power lines to remotely read customer meters and then transfer the data to our office. The benefits to our members include:

Lower meter reading costs  |  Reduction in operational costs  |  Improved member service due to the availability of daily meter readings  |  Reduction in the duration of power outages due to quick notification
