| Payment Options
Let’s
face it, nobody actually enjoys paying their electric bill. As painful as it
may be, we have tried to make it as simple as we can. Included on this page are
several payment options to make your life easier.
 PAY
BY MAIL
You receive your bill each month, write a check, apply a stamp
to the return envelope provided and drop it in the mail.
 PAY
IN PERSON
Come to our office at 633 Seventh Street NW, Salem, and make
your payment in person. This will give you the opportunity to ask questions,
pick up literature or inquire about our programs and services.
SALEM ELECTRIC DROP BOX
Put your bill and check in an envelope (no stamp needed) and
drop it in the drive-up drop box in our parking lot. Or you can use the slot to
the left of our main building’s entrance. Remember, these payments are only
collected at 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. So if you need to make a payment
to avoid having your power disconnected, you should pay in person during
regular office hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except on
holidays.
 COMMUNITY
DROP BOXES
If you’re out in the community and it’s convenient, drop your
payment off at one of the following drop boxes:
-
Roth’s (West Salem)
1130 Wallace Road NW
-
Roth’s (Keizer)
5013 River Road N
-
Salemtowne
(West Salem)
2900 Oakcrest Drive NW
-
Salem Senior Center (Northeast)
1055 Erixon Street NE
These are drop box sites only, no transactions can be made. Please
allow up to five working days for the payment to be delivered to Salem
Electric. No cash payments please.
AVERAGE PAY
To help make budgeting easier, sign up for the Average Pay
Program—only residential customers with current accounts are eligible.
Your monthly bill is averaged and you’re charged a similar
payment each month, based on previous usage.
AUTOPAY
Consider our Autopay Plan.
With your authorization, we can deduct your payment from your checking account or charge it to
your MasterCard or Visa...automatically. You still receive your monthly bill
and have about two weeks to review it prior to the payment being deducted. You
can even tell us when you want the monthly payments deducted.
 CREDIT
CARDS
Maybe it’s convenience, maybe it’s that you want to have more
frequent flyer miles on your Visa — you can pay your bill with your Visa or
MasterCard over the phone, in person, or by e-mail.
If you have questions or would like to sign
up for any of these payment options, contact one of our Customer Service
Representatives (address below) or write a note on the back of your bill and
we’ll get back to you.
