PrePay is pay-along electricity. Instead of receiving a monthly bill after the fact, you set the payment plan and amounts that fit your budget. PrePay gives you control over your energy costs and is available to most residential customer-owners.
You put money in your account in advance of electricity use. Then every day, we calculate the value of the energy you use and subtract that amount from your balance. When the balance gets to a level you set, we send an alert to let you know it’s time to put more money on your account.
You’re in control of how much electricity you use and how much and when you pay for it.
PrePay accounts are self-managed.
PrePay may be right for you if:
There is no extra cost for participating in PrePay. You must have at least $50 in your energy account to begin. If you’re establishing a new account with Walton EMC, there is also a standard $5 membership fee and $20 account establishment fee required.
Any existing deposit will be applied to your PrePay account. If you have an outstanding balance, ask about our catch-up plan where portions of your payments are applied to that balance until paid in full.
PrePay participants do not pay collection, reconnection or late fees.
