It is your responsibility
to contact Freeborn Mower Cooperative
Services (FMCS) if you are having
difficulty paying your monthly electric
bill. We would rather work with you to
create a payment plan to handle the
overdue amount before it becomes a
crisis situation. Accounts that are in
arrears will be subject to
disconnection.
COLD
WEATHER RULE
Minnesota has a “cold
weather rule” that regulates residential
electric service disconnections between
October 15 and April 15, if
disconnection would affect the primary
heat source.
 |
You must receive
referrals to energy assistance,
weatherization and/or conservation
programs that are designed to likely
reduce your energy bills. |
If you do not meet all
of the conditions listed above, you will
not qualify for protection from winter
disconnection.
Should you receive a
disconnect notice for nonpayment this
winter, you will also be provided with
more information. You may request that
FMCS notify a third party if your
electric service becomes subject to
disconnection.
Assistance with energy
bills is provided by the agencies listed
below. You are encouraged to contact the
agency servicing your area for more
information.
