And with daily monitoring, you can take control over how much electricity you're using. Never be surprised when paying your electricity bill again! Prepaid plans put the power back in the hands of the consumer.

Everyone is approved. No deposit required.

Everyone deserves access to electricity. That’s why we don’t require a deposit, credit check, or long-term contract — regardless of which prepaid plan you choose.

Those living in our Texas electricity ZIP code areas are 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 (not a deposit) that applies to your actual electricity costs, and an online account for usage statements.

Monitor your usage and manage your budget.

Our personalized text and email alerts let you monitor your daily electricity usage, electricity costs, and account balance. Some plans allow you to limit your usage in advance, or you can use your usage alerts to adjust your usage by simply adjusting the A/C or turning off the lights.

At the end of the month, we’ll 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 connection in just a few hours.

Payless Power, your trusted Texas prepaid light company, offers quick connection and valuable daily usage stats right to your device. We help estimate how many days of electricity remain 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much can I save with prepaid electricity?

Since there are fluctuations in electricity rates, the amount that you can save is not consistent, or we cannot give you a firm number. But consumer feedback says that they were able to save up to 27% compared to other providers and electricity plans. Payless Power’s ability to access low kilowatt-hour (kWh) rates helps them save automatically. They also notify their customers of their daily usage, which gives them a heads up of how much power they consume and what steps to take to conserve electricity.

Q: What is prepaid electricity?

Prepaid Electricity is an electricity plan that allows customers to control electricity use by paying before using electricity. Prepaid electricity plans are available in states like Texas and Maryland due to their deregulation laws. Thanks to its flexibility, the plans are known as “pay as you go” plans.

Q: How does prepaid electricity work?

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. They’re popular due to their flexibility and often don’t require credit checks, deposits, or long-term contracts. You just pay for how much electricity you want, and then you go about your routine.

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?

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.
