1. Program Description & Message Types
When you enroll, you consent to receive text notifications regarding your electric service. Messages are restricted to operational and transactional updates, including:
- Outage Alerts: Notifications regarding power outages affecting your service address, estimated restoration times, and confirmation when power is restored.
- Billing & Account Alerts: Monthly bill-ready reminders, past-due notices, payment confirmations, and budget billing updates.
2. Express Consent & Opt-In Requirements
Consent to receive text messages is voluntary and is not a condition of receiving electric service. You can opt in through any of the following methods:

3. Message Frequency
Message frequency varies based on your account activity and grid conditions.

Harrison REMC does not charge a fee to send or receive text messages. However, standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and wireless plan.
