It’s electricity you pay for before you use it, not afterward. Instead of receiving a bill at the end of the month with an amount you didn’t control, you add funds to your account and that balance is used as you consume electricity.
There are no mandatory deposits. Your first payment goes 100% toward the energy you’ll use.
We don’t check your credit history or require a Social Security number. Approval is automatic.
Each day, you’ll receive a message or email showing how much you used and how much balance you have left.
You’re not locked into a 12- or 24-month contract. If you move, there’s no cancellation fee.
The process is simpler than you think.
Just your name, address, date of birth, and phone number.
You’ll receive a text message to confirm your application. That’s it.
It goes toward the energy you’ll use. No hidden charges.
Same day, if you call before 5:00 p.m.
