What methods can I use to pay my bill?
Members may a make payment on their account at the Coahoma Headquarters (view on map), online, with our automated phone system, or with our mobile app. We also have three payment Kiosks at the following locations: 3355 Rudyard-Jonestown Rd. Coahoma, MS 38617 (view on map), 3970 White Oak Rd. Tunica, MS (view on map), and Jeffcoat's Family Market - 862 River Rd. Tunica, MS (view on map). There is also one collection agency which may accept payment for Coahoma EPA, and it is First Security Bank in Marks. Payments at the collection site must be made prior to the tenth of the month. Bank draft is also available and can be set up by contacting the offices of Coahoma EPA and completing the proper paper-work. Drafts are processed on or about the eighth of each month on a consumer’s net billing.
Members can set up an online profile to view and pay bills. Click here for instructions on setting up profile.
When is my payment due?
Electric service is billed monthly on the last working day of each month. Your bill will show a net and a gross billing. Net amounts are five percent less than the gross and are accepted with payments made prior to the tenth of the month. Payments received in our offices after the tenth should reflect the gross amount.
Any account not paid by the fifteenth will receive a disconnect notice and will lose services as of the twenty first of the month. Reconnect charges will apply and will have to be paid in order to restore electricity to that location.
Is a security deposit required?
Each service may require a security deposit in addition to the membership fee. The amount of the deposit required in each case will be determined by the association and kept within the guidelines set forth by the Mississippi Public Service Commission. Deposits are refundable, with interest, upon termination of service and the payment of all final charges.
What is the membership fee?
A membership fee of $ 20 is required to become a member of and receive service from Coahoma Electric Power Association. All applicants for membership must be approved by the Board of Directors. The membership fee is refundable to the member upon termination of service and payment of all final charges.
MS River
At what river stage will Coahoma EPA begin to cut power inside the MS River floodplain?
To all Coahoma Electric Members with accounts inside the Mississippi River Floodplain: with the MS river expected to be well above flood levels, CEPA will begin pulling some meters that are at elevated risks when the Helena Gauge reaches 47 feet. Also, there may be extenuating circumstances that may require cutting all power to the flooded areas for safety reasons. Coahoma Electric wants you to be prepared for any circumstances that may arise during this flooding event. Please make arrangements to take care of your frozen and other perishable goods that rely on electricity. We gather our River Stage Data here: https://www.riverwatch.noaa.gov

Do you have questions about capital credits?
Why should you care?
So what does this tidbit of information mean to you? Coahoma Electric Power Association is owned by those it serves. It is devoted to improving the lives of those it serves by improving the standard of living for each and every member. Coahoma Electric Power Association is a not-for-profit organization committed to bringing you electricity at the lowest possible cost.
What does not-for-profit mean?
All revenue collected in excess of expenses (the margin) is ultimately returned to you and the other members who purchase electricity from the Cooperative. Your accumulated capital credits represent your current ownership in the Cooperative. To keep interest costs low, the Cooperative temporarily uses your capital instead of borrowing all funds for capital improvements. Capital Credits are not cash.
When will I get paid?
Each spring the board of directors evaluates the financial position of the Cooperative and considers a retirement or cash payment of capital credits. When the elected Board of Directors believe the returning of capital credits will not harm the financial strength of the cooperative they may choose to retire a portion of the capital.
Is it taxable?
If you’re wondering about income tax issues and capital credits, the only time you have to claim capital credits as income is when the check that you receive (not the allocation) includes charges that you claimed as tax deductible for your business or farm. For example, if you claimed 50% of your electric bill as a tax deduction in the year(s) retired, then 50% of your refund is taxable. If you have any questions, please call us. Our capital credit expert is Bob Burke, and he can be reached at the Coahoma Headquarters at (662) 624-8321.
