How does PrePay work?

  • You will not receive a monthly paper bill. You are responsible for monitoring your PrePay account balance.
  • The PrePay balance is calculated daily by subtracting the energy and access charges, and taxes and by adding any payments received.
  • You can make daily, weekly or biweekly payments rather than one payment each month.
  • Monitoring and controlling daily energy use can help keep electric costs down.
  • You can manage your account in MyREC SmartHub
