Prepaid Metering

Power2Go prepaid metering is a pay as you go electric service. You pay in advance for the electricity you will actively be using. Your base charge and security light charges are subject to monthly recurring charges and are prorated per day.

$60.00 minimum to enter in to the Power2Go program. If you are a member with an existing account, any usage you have incurred for the time prior to the Power2Go enrollment will be calculated and you will be required to pay the true-up balance prior to pre-paid service enrollment along with the $60.00 minimum fee.

Yes, once you reach a credit balance of $10.00 or below you are notified by email or text. You can set your balance threshold higher than $10.00 via your online account.

Disconnects are issued daily Monday through Friday.  Accounts are subject to year-round disconnection at $0 balance. Rental properties may qualify for limiter placement if the property owner makes arrangements. If service is terminated at the request of the member or the account was disconnected for nonpayment and remains disconnected for 7 to 10 days or more, the account will be settled and final billed.  If a balance is still owed at this time, a final bill will be mailed to the last known address and payment is expected immediately to keep the account from being reported to a credit bureau.  Being in the Power2Go Program in no way releases the member’s responsibility for paying the final balance due.

Limiter Progression

Step 1: 30/30 limiter (30 minutes on / 30 minutes off) for 7 days. Step 2: 6-amp limiter with 15-minute auto reset for 7 days.  After a total of 14 days property owner will be responsible for service or account will be disconnected.

If fully disconnected, a minimum $30 credit is required. After payment, press the black button on the meter to restore service.

If limited, a minimum $30 credit is required. After payment, members will need to contact office for removal.

No. The only fees associated with Power2Go occur if your account is placed on a limiter due to non-payment. Limiter removal requested outside 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (M-Th) and 8:00 am – 4:30 pm (Friday) will incur a $250 after-hours service fee.
