Central Maine Power (CMP) provides customers with the option to settle their energy bills through a telephone-based payment system. This method allows individuals to remit funds directly from their bank account or via a credit/debit card by interacting with an automated phone service or speaking with a customer service representative. For example, a customer might call the CMP billing department’s phone number and follow the prompts to input their account information and payment details.
This payment channel is important because it offers a convenient alternative to mailing checks, paying in person, or using online portals. It caters to customers who may not have readily available internet access or prefer a more traditional method of managing their finances. The availability of telephone payments has been particularly beneficial during periods of inclement weather or when physical access to payment centers is restricted.
