Everyone is approved. No deposit required.

Everyone deserves access to electricity. Regardless of the prepaid plan you choose, we require no deposit, no credit check, and no long-term contract. If you live in our Texas electricity zip code areas, you're automatically approved for prepaid electricity. We don’t use credit score, credit history, or utility payment data to determine your rate. 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 (which isn’t a deposit) that goes toward your actual electricity costs, and an online account so we can send you your usage statements.

Monitor your usage and manage your budget.

With our personalized text or email alerts, you can monitor your daily electricity usage, electricity costs, and account balance. Some plans allow you to limit your usage in advance, or as you receive your usage alerts, you can adjust your usage accordingly by simply turning up the A/C or turning off the lights. At the end of the month, we will send a statement detailing your prior month’s prepaid electricity payments, charges, and savings history. Choosing autopay, along with account updates, means no more surprise expenses thanks to your prepaid light and electricity payments.

Quick and easy same-day connection.

Our team is here to ensure you receive electricity when you need it! Smart meters allow service to be connected in just a few hours. Payless Power, your trusted Texas prepaid light company, offers quick connection, then provides valuable daily usage stats right to your device. We help estimate how many days of electricity are remaining based on your usage and account balance, then we alert you if your prepaid balance needs a deposit to maintain service without interruption. It’s a win-win: Cost savings at the start with no-deposit connection that continues all year long with affordable electricity and flexible payment options!

All you need to do is pay for your electricity before you use it, which is why these plans are often referred to as pay as you go plans.

Q: Is prepaid electricity cheaper than postpaid?

Q: Is prepaid electricity cheaper than postpaid?

It really depends. For instance, if you do not want to prepay for electricity up front and are looking to get locked in at a low rate for the entire length of your 1-year rental lease, then a postpaid electricity plan is the best option for you. On the flip side, if you do not have good credit, cannot afford to pay for a deposit up front, and want flexibility on a month-to-month basis, then you should go with a prepaid electricity plan.

Q: What are the benefits of prepaid electricity?

Q: What are the benefits of prepaid electricity?

Pay as you go electricity plans allow consumers to pay for their electricity in advance. The plan, which uses prepayment meters, helps consumers to monitor and control the way they use electricity. This saves on energy costs.
