Paying your energy bill can feel like a hassle, but Midwest Energy offers convenient online payment options to make it quick and easy. As a Midwest Energy customer myself I appreciate how simple they’ve made the process. In this article I’ll walk through the different online payment methods Midwest Energy provides and explain the benefits of each.
Overview of Online Payment Options
Midwest Energy allows customers to pay their bill through the following online methods:
- Paying directly through Midwest Energy’s website
- Setting up recurring payments or autopay
- Using the Midwest Energy mobile app
- Paying through your bank’s online bill pay
These options allow you to securely pay your bill from home in just a few clicks, 24/7. No more waiting to pay by mail or driving to the nearest payment center. Let’s explore these methods further.
Paying on the Midwest Energy Website
The easiest way to pay your Midwest Energy bill online is directly through their website, www.mwenergy.com. You can make a one-time payment each month, so you don’t have to worry about setting up automatic payments.
To start, go to the Payments & Billing section under Residential on their homepage. Next, select “Pay Your Bill” and you’ll be redirected to Midwest Energy’s secure online payment portal.
You’ll need to log in with your account number and Midwest Energy ID. These can be found on your monthly billing statement.
Once logged in, you can view your current balance and due date. Enter your payment amount and submit. The payment will be immediately applied to your account.
It only takes a minute or two to complete. You’ll receive a confirmation email with your payment details as well.
Setting Up Recurring Payments
If you preferautomated payments, Midwest Energy lets you enroll in recurring payments directly on their website too.
After logging into your account, find the “Payments & Billing” section again. This time, choose “Billing Options” instead.
Here you can sign up for AutoPay, Midwest Energy’s recurring payment program. Just select your preferred payment method and date each month for withdrawals.
Your payment will automatically be deducted from your chosen account around the same time every month. You’ll still receive a bill for your records but don’t have to do anything else.
It’s an easy “set it and forget it” approach. One less bill to keep track of!
Paying through the Mobile App
Midwest Energy also offers an intuitive mobile app for Android and iOS. The app makes it simple to check your balance, view past bills, and of course, pay online.
Like on the website, you’ll log in with your Midwest Energy account details. You can view your billing history and upcoming due date right on your home screen.
When you’re ready to pay, just tap on the “Pay Bill” button. Choose the payment amount and submit. The app will instantly process your payment.
You’ll get a confirmation message and receipt through the app as well. It has all the convenience of the website in an easy-to-use mobile experience.
Using Your Bank’s Online Bill Pay
Lastly, you can pay your Midwest Energy bill through your own bank’s online bill pay system. Most banks and credit unions now offer bill pay services through their websites and apps.
Just set up Midwest Energy as a payee with your account number. When it’s time to pay your bill, you can quickly schedule a payment through your bank’s platform. They’ll debit your bank account and mail a check to Midwest Energy on your behalf.
While it adds an extra step with the mailed check, it can be helpful if you already use your bank’s bill pay for other expenses. Paying multiple bills through one place can be simpler to manage.

No matter which method you choose, paying your Midwest Energy bill online has many advantages:
-
It’s fast and easy – Takes just minutes to complete instead of mailing in a check which can take days to process.

Available anytime – Access your account and make payments 24/7, even when Midwest Energy offices are closed.
