Fixed Amount Bill (Wisconsin)

For residential electric customers in Wisconsin

Don't like fluctuations in your bill? Consider that problem fixed.


With Fixed Amount Bill, you pay the same amount every month. There are no fluctuations or surprises, just a consistent bill that makes it easy to budget. It's like Budget Billing, except you don’t have to pay the difference between what you used and what you paid for at the end of your contract.

How it works

  • We'll review your energy costs over the last 12 months and offer you a fixed amount to pay each month (before taxes and fees). If you've just moved in, we'll base your amount on estimates.
  • You pay the same amount every month for 12 months.
  • After 12 payments, we’ll calculate a new monthly amount for you for the next year. Your account will not have a balance due.
  • At this time, you can decide whether to continue on Fixed Amount Bill with your new monthly amount or withdraw from the program.
  • Fees may apply if you choose to end the contract early.

Eligibility

  • You must be an Alliant Energy residential electric customer in Wisconsin.
  • Customers already enrolled in Budget Billing or Nights and Weekends are not eligible.

We may remove you from Fixed Amount Bill for nonpayment or consistently high energy use. If we remove you from the program, there is a waiting period to reapply.

Frequently asked questions


How do you calculate my fixed amount?

Your bill is based on your past electricity usage. We calculate your monthly amount to protect you from higher bills due to unpredictable weather and increases in energy costs. Your quote does not exceed 10% above standard rates per kilowatt hour.

What if I use more or less energy than I paid for?

Every 12 months, we'll look at your Fixed Amount Bill account to see whether to adjust your bill.

  • If you used more energy than you paid for, you can expect your bill to go up.
  • If you used less than you paid for, you can expect your bill to go down.

If you use more than 50% above your calculated amount, you’ll see an alert on your bill. If extreme high usage continues, we may drop you from the program and you’ll be responsible for the balance between what you paid and what you used.

How do I withdraw from the program?

Fixed Amount Bill is based on a 12-month cycle. You can withdraw from the program during the first or twelfth month without penalty. Contact us at 1-800-ALLIANT (800-255-4268) to cancel your enrollment.

If you choose to withdraw from the program midcycle, you may be subject to an $30 early termination fee. You may also be charged the difference between your electric usage and payments. You will need to wait six months to reapply for the program.
