What is prepaid electricity?
Prepaid electricity allows you to buy electricity as you need it in advance. This means you will not be receiving a traditional electricity bill in the mail each month. You control the usage and set your budget monthly.
How do I sign up?
Go to our website and enter your zip code to view plans in your area. You can also enroll over the phone at (833) 993-6374.
Do I have to notify my current electricity provider that I am switching?
Not at all. Before switching make sure that there no early termination fee with your existing provider.
Will there be a fee to switch?
There usually is no fee to switch. There may be a fee if you terminate your contract early with your current provider.
Do I have to run a credit check?
No, since we only offer prepaid plans, there will be no credit check required.
Since I will not be receiving a bill in the mail, how do I know when it’s time to make a payment?
We will send you daily account updates so you know your balance and usage, which can help you manage your electricity costs. We will also send you a warning notice before your account reaches zero.
How do I pay my bill?
You can pay by credit card online and by phone at (833) 993-6374. You can also pay by cash at many conveniently located authorized Pay Stations.
How do I avoid getting my service disconnected?
If you sign up for automatic payments, this will avoid your service being disconnected.
Do I need an email or text messaging to receive alerts about my bill?
- If you chose email for your preferred communication method than you need a valid email address.
- If you chose text messaging alerts, then make sure your data plan allows you to receive SMS messaging.
What do I do if I forgot my account username or password?
From the online account login screen, select “Forgot Password” and follow the prompts.
