SHINE A LIGHT ON PREPAID ELECTRICITY

Prepaid energy plans offer a variety of benefits for different lifestyles and budgetary needs. Here’s why prepaid electricity may be the right option for you.

Simple, Smart Savings.

Payless Power's prepaid electricity plans in Texas start saving you money from day one. Whether in Dallas, Houston, or one of the hundreds of other cities we serve across the Lone Star State, you'll discover rates that can save you 20% over traditional electric companies. And with daily monitoring, you can take control over how much electricity you're using. Prepaid plans put the power back into your hands, so you’re never surprised when paying your electricity bill again!

No Deposit. No Credit Check. Instant Approval.

Everyone deserves access to electricity. That's why we don't require a deposit, credit check, or long-term contract regardless of your prepaid rate plan, and we don’t use credit score, credit history, or utility payment data to determine your rate. If you live inside our Texas electricity ZIP code areas, you’re automatically approved for prepaid electricity. All you need is a Texas address (whether you rent or own), a smart meter (already in a majority of Texas homes), a payment method, an initial balance (not a deposit) that applies directly to your electricity costs, and an online account for usage statements.

Daily Monitoring. Total Control. No Surprises.

Our personalized text and email alerts let you monitor your daily electricity usage, electricity costs, and account balance. Get usage alerts sent directly to your phone, and adjust the AC or turn off the lights when not needed to adjust your usage and cost! At the end of the month, we'll send a statement detailing your prepaid electricity payments, charges, and savings history. For even easier payments, choose our autopay option.

Fast Setup, Same-Day Connection

Your home’s smart meter allows service connection in just a few hours. As your trusted Texas light company, Payless Power offers quick connection through our prepaid plans and sends helpful daily usage alerts right to your device. We estimate how many days of electricity are left based on your usage and account balance and alert you if your prepaid balance needs a deposit to maintain service without interruption. It's a win-win-win: cost savings at the start, a no-deposit connection that continues all year, and affordable electricity and flexible payment options!

Discover Savings with Our Energy Calculator

Our intuitive Energy Calculator is the perfect complement to our prepaid electricity plans. This easy-to-use tool sheds light on your electricity rates and usage, providing a picture of what to expect on your monthly bill and helping you manage your usage and costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much can I save with prepaid electricity?

Electricity rates fluctuate, so the amount you can save is inconsistent. While we can’t provide a firm number, consumer feedback says they’ve saved up to 27% compared to other providers and electricity plans. 

Payless Power’s ability to access low kilowatt-hour (kWh) rates helps you save automatically. We’ll also notify you of your daily usage so you know how much power you consume and how to conserve electricity.

Q: What is prepaid electricity?

Prepaid electricity is an electricity plan allowing customers to control electricity use by paying before using electricity. Prepaid electric service is available in states like Texas and Maryland due to their deregulation laws for electricity providers. Prepaid electricity is also known as “pay-as-you-go” by many retail electricity providers.

Q: How does prepaid electricity work?

Simply pay for your electricity before using it, which is why these plans are often referred to as pay-as-you-go plans. They’re popular due to their flexibility and often don’t require credit checks, upfront deposits, or long-term contracts. You just pay for how much electricity you want and go about your routine.

Q: What are the benefits of prepaid electricity?

Pay-as-you-go electricity plans allow consumers to pay for their electric service in advance. The plan uses prepayment meters to help consumers monitor and control their electricity consumption
