Take charge of your finances.
Equal Payment Plan (EPP)
Equal Payment Plan (EPP) is a convenient program for residential customers that distributes annual gas costs into estimated equal monthly payments. The program assists customers on a fixed income and those who want to budget monthly expenses. There is no obligation to enroll and the plan can be canceled at any time.
Equal Payment Plan (EPP) offers a fixed amount that is determined by the estimated annual gas usage of your home divided in 12 equal monthly payments. Every quarter (3, 6, and 9 months) your gas account is reviewed and the EPP amount may be adjusted. The gas bill will continue to show the exact utility charge(s) and the normal amount due. The “EPP” amount will display in the “Please Pay Amount Due” section on your bill.
You can enroll online at swgas.com by simply logging into your MyAccount and selecting Equal Payment Plan under Billing. You may enroll at any time during the year with a current gas bill.

What is a "Settlement" month?
The settlement month is 12 months from the enrollment date (anniversary date) that calculates the difference between the estimated usage at the time of enrollment and the actual gas used while on the program.
If there is a credit of $50.00 or less, the credit is rolled over into the next plan year. If the credit exceeds $50.00 a refund check is issued.
If more than $50.00 is owed, it is due and payable in the settlement month. If $50.00 or less is owed, the amount is rolled over into the next plan year.
After the “Settlement” month the Equal Payment Plan will automatically enroll for another 12 months.
Can I request a payment extension while enrolled in Equal Payment Plan?
No, EPP is not eligible for an extension.
What happens if I am late making a payment?
Participation in EPP is automatically terminated after two late payments made while on the plan.
Have you considered enrolling in the Automatic Payment Plan (APP) along with EPP?
Automatic Payment Plan (APP)
is a convenient way to pay your bill automatically every month through an automatic bank draft from your checking or savings account. You will continue to receive your monthly gas bill and the payment amount will be automatically deducted on your payment due date – no hassle with paying online or standing in line. By enrolling in both programs, you know what your bill will be each month and are assured that it will be paid on time.
