PrePaid FAQs

What does it cost to enroll?

There are no additional fees for current members, but an initial minimum credit of $50 is required. New members are required to pay a $5 membership fee, a $30 account establishment fee, and start the account with an initial $65 credit.

I have fallen behind on my payments. Can I still participate in Prepaid Power?

Yes. PrePaid Power offers a deferred payment option to members on monthly billing for overdue payments. If the outstanding balance is set up on a deferred payment plan, 50% of each payment you make will be applied to reduce your past-due balance, and 50% will be added to your PrePaid Power account for future use.

How can I check my balance?

You may access your account information online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

How will I know if my balance is getting low?

You will automatically receive low balance notifications when your account reaches a credit balance of $25. You can manage and update your notification preferences through your online account.

If my power is turned off, how much do I have to pay?

You must have a minimum $5 credit balance on your account for power to be restored. Members participating in our deferred payment program will be required to pay the entire deferred balance and have a minimum $5 credit balance on their account.

How do I add money to my PrePaid account?

Payments can be made 24 hours a day online through your SmartHub account or by calling (855) 937-1752. You may also make a payment during normal business hours at any of our offices. You are not eligible to utilize AutoPay or Bank Draft for payments.

Can I make payment arrangements?

Members who participate in PrePaid Power are not eligible for payment arrangements. However, you control when and how much you pay toward your electric service.

What happens to my deposit & existing balance if I convert from a monthly billed account?

When a monthly billed account is converted to PrePaid Power, the existing deposit is applied toward any outstanding balance. Any remaining credit will be applied to the PrePaid Power account.

If a past-due balance exists, the outstanding balance may be set up on a deferred payment plan, in which 50% of each payment you make will be applied to this balance.

I am moving. What should I do?

If you are moving, contact PRECO and let us know the day you want your service disconnected. Members are responsible for all electric usage and related charges unless they have notified us that they no longer occupy the service location.
