Citizens Electric Corporation

"I want to thank the 2 guys who came to my house this morning to get limbs from my tree cut down over the electric lines to neighbors house in Valle street The 2 were so kind. & very efficient & helpful Please pass along to their boss Thank u Maryellen jokerst Ste Genevieve mo,"

"So freaking expensive, like I can't even begin to understand why or how they charge what they do! I'm on the pay as you go plan because of high deposit prices and I get charged OUTRAGEOUS prices every single day! Tell me how I can use 34 kWh get charged somewhere between 3 or 4 dollars, then the next day use 19 kWh and get charged 6 or 7 dollars? I'm using less kWh but getting charged more? Every time I call they tell me they have a $2 minimum a day and everything on my account looks normal.... They totally avoid the question and avoid the problem!! Than they tell me something in my house is causing the high price..... Yet I'm using less kWh! If Perry County had a different/better company I would drop these guys! Buyer beware! Update:a year later: They switched to "on demand hours" so it's just another excuse to surge prices. I've currently been freezing myself because some how I've been using almost 100 kWh per day which amounts to about $13 a day for electric. Most days I'm not home over half the day. This company is monopolizing Perryville and surrounding areas.! This needs to be stopped. Update: 2023- since certain people seem to think others don't understand electricity, or billing or how to understand basic living. I used to live in a poorly insulated trailer, and my bill was always above 300. I've also lived in a brand new apartment and guess what, my bill was also over 300. I'm not home all of the time, I don't leave a million things running. I keep track of pricing that citizens electric sends out everytime there's a price update. So take it how you will. I still stick to my word. If there was a different electric company I would definitely switch over. We need a new one!"

"They were very helpful and friendly. They explained a pay as you go option which I'd never heard of before and you get a notification daily to show your balance. So u can pay just enough to get thru a day, a month or year. It feels like you have a little control over what has become one of the most expensive services out there. Electricity! Thank you for turning me on to this program. It just makes me feel a little more secure."

"I get a general sense that the education level of many reviews is rather poor based upon their wording. Citizens Electric has always been reasonably priced. Years ago I was living in a poorly insulated trailer that required window units in addition to the main A/C in order to be comfortable, and my bill never exceeded $300. It seems to me that some of these people leaving reviews are either leaving windows open or perhaps, just maybe they are being dishonest."

"Place is an absolute joke, I was a few dollars negative because I couldn’t check it. I couldn’t log into the new app. What else can I do? I didn’t think I was negative but I was. I go home and my power is disconnected. It’s below freezing and I have animals inside my home. I guess they forgot about the no disconnect law under freezing. Not to mention, the lady inside is just absolutely rude. She made the remark “this is why you don’t go negative”.."
