Energy Offerings

Prepaid electricity plans are electricity plans where you pay upfront for the electricity you will use throughout the month. These plans are sometimes referred to as no-deposit plans because they don't require a security deposit.

With Payless Power's prepaid plans, you can monitor your electricity usage and add more electricity at any point through Payless Power's portal. You can also set up text and email alerts that will help you monitor your electricity consumption throughout the month. Payless Power offers two different types of prepaid electricity plans:

  • Fixed-Rate Prepaid Plan – Your energy rate and the terms of your contract will stay the same for the duration of the electricity plan. There is an early termination fee.
  • Variable-Rate Prepaid Plan – Your energy rate can change each month based on market factors. There is no early termination fee for this plan.

Both of these plans have a discounted version as well. To get it, you must enroll with the plan and have Autopay enabled for the duration of your service.
