Payment Assistance
If you have a past due balance, Dayton Power & Light offers 3 types of arrangements. Under the first arrangement, you will pay 1/6 of your past due balance over the next 6 months of billing until the balance is fully paid off. The second agreement functions the same way, but the payments are divided into 9 monthly installments and they cover the next 9 months, based on current monthly estimates. Once the past due balance is paid, any overages will be refunded to the customer at the end of the pay agreement. The third program is the winter heating plan, where the customer pays 1/3 of the total bill throughout winter and then enters into another payment agreement to pay off the remaining balance. This method allows you to avoid any disruption in service during cold winter months.
PIPP Percentage of Income Payment Plan
The PIPP program allows Dayton Power and Light customers to pay a percentage of their gross income towards their utility bills instead of paying the total amount due. The percentage is based off the total household gross income. Read more about this program by visiting the links below.
