Attention
The United States Postal Service is lengthening its standards for the time it takes to deliver the mail, which could delay the delivery of your Santee Cooper bill and your payment by a couple of days. This may result in a late fee if your payment is received after the due date. To avoid this, we encourage our customers to pay fee-free with your checking account information using MEL.
MEL (My Energy Link)
MEL is where you can manage your entire account online. Be sure to LOG IN and pay with your checking account and routing number to avoid any fees.
Register your account on MEL for a chance to win an iPad. Drawing will be held Dec. 31.
*Fee FREE available
Pay as Guest (One-time payment)
A guest payment is how to quickly pay your bill online without creating a MEL account, and incurs a small service fee.
*Fees apply

Budget Billing
Make monthly expense planning easier with Budget Billing. Pay the same amount toward your electric bill every month.
Santee Cooper will review your past electricity use and project your average bill for the year. Your meter will still be read every month as usual and your bill will show the actual number of kilowatt-hours used each month.
We’ll review your usage at the end of the year and if needed, settle the difference and adjust the next year’s average bill amount.
Send us an e-mail to see if you qualify.
