Gibson Electric members may now pay their bills when and where it is convenient with the introduction of the PaySite® bill payment kiosk. The kiosks are conveniently located near the homes and workplaces of many members throughout the Gibson Electric's service area. This new service is easy to use and provides immediate payment posting for Gibson EMC members paying at the kiosk.
The payment process is simple:
Step 1) Touch the screen to start and select Gibson EMC
Step 2) Enter your account number and information (or scan the barcode on your bill)
Step 3) Define the amount you would like to pay and insert payment (cash/check/card)
Step 4) Leave with a receipt
Paying at the kiosk provides fast posting to members’ accounts and the machine does not store personal information on the kiosk, making the terminal a safe and secure payment method.
Gibson Electric payments may be made at the kiosks with cash, check, and credit/debit card. Members that use the kiosk find that the payment process is fast, easy, convenient, and secure. For credit/debit card transactions, there is a 2.45% convenient fee. For cash or check transactions, there is a $1.50 Pay/Site Processing Fee.

Levelized Billing is a program that helps members to equalize or level out monthly bill payments and lessen the impact of seasonal fluctuations. With Levelized Billing, Gibson EMC averages your current month’s electricity usage with your previous 11 month’s’ usage to arrive at approximately equal bills. With each new month, you may see slight fluctuations in your billed amount, but there is usually not more than a $20 variance.
Click here for a traditional form or contact your local Gibson Electric member Service center for a form. After completing and signing the form, either mail or deliver it to your local member service center for processing.
Please note: A member cannot have an outstanding balance at the time of enrollment and PayGo participants are not eligible for Levelized Billing. If you have questions about Levelized Billing or any other program, just call or come by your local member service center.
Gibson Electric's Delayed Payment Plan offers electric bill due date modification to more closely coincide with receipt of Social Security and Disability checks. Members are eligible to participate if they meet the following:
- You are 62 years of age or older and a recipient of Social Security or Disability benefits or you are permanently disabled and a recipient of Disability benefits.
- Electric service is in your name.
- Your electric bill is paid in full when you apply, and the completed Delayed Payment Plan application is approved by Gibson Electric.
With the Delayed Payment Plan, your meter reading date doesn’t change, but your billing and due dates do change. Bills should be paid in full by the due date; partial payments must have prior approval of Gibson Electric. If your bill is unpaid after the due date, a late charge of 5% is added. If service is terminated twice during a 12-month period, you will be removed from the Delayed Payment Plan. Once removed from the plan, you may be reinstated after one year, if approved. You may discontinue your Delayed Payment Plan at any time.
