Prince George Electric Cooperative takes pride in offering members flexibility in managing their electric bills. One way members can do that is with our prepaid electric program.
For many, the concept of prepaid electricity is simple. Members pay for power upfront instead of at the end of each billing period. This means that members spend the money they already have in their account rather than accumulating a bill each month.
How is this possible?Â
Thanks to Prince George Electric Cooperative’s investment in advanced metering infrastructure, we can monitor your energy usage 24 hours a day. The live data is communicated back to PGEC, and we can provide you with the most accurate daily readings.
Who is eligible for PrePay and how does it work?
PrePay is available to members regardless of credit or income status. There is no security deposit required to connect and no late fees.Â
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. As a result, members have greater flexibility in planning monthly expenses and can make daily, weekly, or bi-weekly payments rather than one monthly payment.
