Payment Assistance
Steuben Rural Electric Cooperative knows that our members occasionally fall on hard times. If you are having a difficult time paying your bill because you recently lost your job or are dealing with unforeseen illness or another issue out of your control, please contact the office at 607-776-4161 or 1-800-843-3414.
Depending on the status of your account, you might be eligible for a payment arrangement. We've also compiled a list of government and charitable organizations in our region that offer assistance with utility bills, if their conditions are met. We encourage members to contact them to determine resources that may be available. The assistance programs are listed below:
