No deposit. No late fees. More flexibility.

Paying a lump sum electric bill each month can seem daunting for some members. At PGEC, we realize that each member is unique – even down to how they may want to pay for their electricity. With PrePay, members decide how much electricity they’re going to use and prepay that amount as often as they want– just like a pay-as-you-go cell phone or putting gas in your car.
Members who enroll in this service have the advantage of prepaying for their power in smaller amounts when and how they choose. This allows members to make payments on their own schedule — like when they get paid — so they can better manage their expenses.
How does PrePay work?
Members with PrePay do not receive a monthly bill but can easily monitor usage and payment information daily via the SmartHub mobile app.
Members pay for their electric service in advance, and each day, the available balance is deducted based on your use. Your PrePay balance is calculated daily by subtracting your energy charges and adding any payments received.
Members can make daily, weekly, or bi-weekly payments rather than one monthly payment via all of PGEC’s payment methods except Auto Pay and bank draft.
Benefits of PrePay:
No deposit: PrePay requires no security deposit upfront.
No fees: There are no late payment fees and no reconnection fees.
More flexibility: Members have greater flexibility in planning monthly expenses.
