Where and how to pay your Provo City Power bill

Provo City Power is the municipal utility serving Provo, Utah. You can pay your bill online through their website, by phone, by mail, or in person at their office. The fastest route is online at provoutah.gov/power, where you can pay immediately with a bank account or debit card. If you prefer not to use the internet, you can call their customer service line, mail a check, or walk into their office during business hours.

Each payment method has different timing. Online and phone payments usually post the same day or next business day. Mail takes 7 to 10 days from when you send it, so plan ahead if your due date is soon. In-person payments at the office are processed immediately.

  • Pay online at provoutah.gov/power with a bank account or debit card for the fastest processing.
  • Phone payments go through the same day if you call before the cutoff time, which varies by season.
  • Mailed checks take 7 to 10 days to reach Provo City Power, so send them at least two weeks before your due date.

Paying online through Provo City Power's website

Go to provoutah.gov/power and look for the "Pay My Bill" or "Online Bill Pay" link on the homepage. You will need your account number, which appears on your bill statement. Enter your account number and the amount you want to pay, then choose your payment method: bank account (ACH transfer) or debit card.

Bank account payments have no fee and post within one business day. Debit card payments may carry a small processing fee — check the website for the current amount before you confirm. The payment is processed immediately, but it may take until the next business day to show on your account.

If you do not have your bill handy, you can look up your account number on the website by entering your service address or phone number associated with the account.

Paying by phone

Call Provo City Power's customer service line at the number on your bill. A representative will ask for your account number and the amount you want to pay. You can pay with a bank account or debit card over the phone. The payment posts the same day if you call before the cutoff time, which is usually 5 p.m. on business days, though this may shift during peak billing periods.

Phone payments are useful if you have questions about your bill or account at the same time. There is no fee for paying by phone.

Paying by mail

Write a check or money order payable to Provo City Power. Include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address shown on your bill statement — this is usually the Provo City Power office address in Provo.

Mail takes 7 to 10 days to arrive, so send your payment at least two weeks before the due date to avoid a late fee. If you are close to the due date, use online or phone payment instead. Keep a record of when you mailed the check in case there is a question about when it arrived.

Paying in person at the Provo City Power office

You can walk into the Provo City Power office during business hours and pay with cash, check, or debit card. The office is located in Provo; check the website for the exact address and current hours, as these can change seasonally. Payments are processed immediately, and you will receive a receipt on the spot.

In-person payment is a good choice if you prefer to hand over cash or if you want to speak with someone about your bill in real time. There is no fee for in-person payments.

Setting up automatic payments to avoid late fees

Both Provo City Power's website and your own bank offer automatic payment options. Through the utility website, you can set up a recurring payment on your due date each month. Through your bank, you can set up a bill pay instruction that sends a check or electronic payment to Provo City Power on a schedule you choose.

Automatic payments reduce the risk of forgetting a due date and incurring a late fee. You can change or cancel the automatic payment at any time. If your bill amount varies month to month, you can set up automatic payment for a fixed amount that covers most months, then pay the difference manually when needed.

What to do if you cannot pay by the due date

Contact Provo City Power as soon as you know you will miss the due date. They may offer a short extension or a payment plan that lets you spread the balance over several months. Late fees are added if payment is not received by the due date, so calling early gives you more options.

If you are struggling with energy costs, ask about budget billing or energy assistance programs. Budget billing spreads your annual costs evenly across 12 months so your bill is more predictable. Some programs may help with overdue balances if you meet income requirements.
