In 2019, Pickwick Electric Cooperative launched a pilot program for prepay metering, and we offer this program to all residential members. With normal metering, you receive a bill after you have used the electricity, but with prepay, you are paying in advance, similar to filling the gas tank on your car.

Here’s how it works:

• Contact PEC to enroll in the prepay program.
• Members must meet eligibility requirements.
• An initial $100 payment must be made to activate the electric account.
• As energy is used, the balance is reduced.
• The member can elect to receive daily notifications of his or her account balance.
• A prepay fee of 20 cents per day will apply to all participating accounts.
• No deposits are required.
• No late fees.
• Reconnect fees are less for prepay members if you happen to get disconnected.
• Prepay participants will not receive a monthly statement.
