Simplify Your Energy Budget with EZ Pay Power

Back to Light Flashes

Fluctuating bills and unexpected expenses can make it difficult to stay on top of your finances and managing your household budget can be a challenging task. 

That's why our EZ Pay Power program (prepaid power) may be right for you. It's a flexible and convenient payment solution designed to help you simplify your budget and gain greater control over your energy expenses. 

This program allows you to pay for your electricity in advance, rather than receiving a traditional monthly bill. By prepaying for your energy, you can manage your power costs more effectively, avoid surprises, and take charge
of your budget with ease.

Signing up is easy. Apply online or visit an office and tell them you're interested in prepaid electric service. Then, pay a fee of just $105 plus your first power purchase and you'll be on your way!

How does it work?

1. Set your budget. Start by choosing a prepaid amount that fits your financial plan. You can make payments as often as you like - daily, weekly, or monthly - based on what works best for you.

2. Monitor your energy use. You can track your energy use with the co-op's mobile app and easy-to-use online portal. You can also sign up to receive text alerts and reminders. Many prepaid members have noticed a reduction in the amount of power they're using - mostly because they've become more conscious about when and how they're actually using electricity.

3. Stay in control. With prepaid power, you'll receive alerts when your balance is running low, allowing you to top up as needed and avoid interruptions in service. Plus, you won't get any surprises! 

Why Prepaid?

• Flexible 
Prepaying for electricity means you can align your energy payments with your income schedule, making it easier to manage your budget and avoid financial strain.

• Budget friendly
Eliminate the anxiety of unexpected costs. With prepaid power, you know exactly how much you've spent and how much is left.

• Easy to monitor
Gain real-time insight into your energy use and balance, helping you make informed decisions.

• Convenient & always available
Electricity can be purchased 24/7/365 online, using the mobile app or member portal, over the phone by calling 855-699-3322, or in person at any office. There are no service charges when making purchases using the co-op's mobile app or calling 855-699-3322.

West Florida Electric Cooperative is committed to providing solutions that make managing your energy easier and more convenient. The EZ Pay Power program is just one way our members can achieve greater financial peace of mind.
