What is paper-free billing?
Paper-free billing is an electronic billing option that eliminates your paper bills altogether. Bills are electronically created and displayed online and in the Minnesota Energy Resources app. You can view, save or print if you’d like. It is safe, convenient, and offers you the flexibility to manage your bills at any time and from anywhere.
