Prepaid (Pay-As-You-Go)

Our Prepaid payment option allows you to pay for electricity as you use it. The concept is similar to watching the gas gauge in your car – When the indicator shows that the gas is running low, you fill up the tank again – Now you can do that with electricity!

Great for members who:

BulletWould prefer to avoid deposits, credit checks, reconnect fees
BulletWant the flexibility to pay what they want, when they want

Added bonus – members who prepay, generally use less energy simply because they’re more aware of how much electricity they’re using.

How It Works

BulletCan be used by new members and existing members
BulletProvides flexibility to plan more accurate monthly budgets and make smaller, incremental payments
BulletFor example, if you only have $10 to put gas in your car, you pay $10 – the same goes for prepaid electricity
BulletThis is an automated process through our SmartHub tools that disconnects the service when the funds are gone and reconnects the service within minutes of making a payment

Payment

Auto-Pay From Card or Bank Account

Sign up for Auto-Pay through SmartHub or fill out our Auto-Pay Agreement. We will automatically deduct your billing amount from the designated account each month.

Your Auto-Pay will begin with your next bill.

You will still receive a monthly billing statement (unless you choose not to receive a printed bill in SmartHub).

This statement will say “Auto-Pay” because the balance has been automatically deducted from your bank account or credit card.

All withdrawals are made on the 17th of the month.

If the 17th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the withdrawal is made on the following business day.

Budget Billing

Budget Billing

If you like the idea of paying exactly the same amount each month for your electricity, then budget billing could be right for you.

At the end of the budget period — your June bill payable in July — your account will be settled up:

BulletIf you owe any money, you will need to pay it by the due date
BulletIf you paid too much for the year, the overpayment will be credited to your account

We determine the monthly bill by reviewing the kilowatt-hour (kWh) history at the location.

Budget accounts are not allowed to go delinquent. If this should happen, you may be removed from the program.

Email us to find out what your monthly budget bill would be and to see if you are eligible for the program

Paperless Billing

You can sign-up for paperless billing through SmartHub

You will get an email or text when your bill is available to view through web, mobile or App so the co-op doesn’t have to pay for envelopes, paper, printing and postage.

You can make your payment through SmartHub so your payment is applied immediately.

After you are in the SmartHub gateway, go to My Profile > Update My Printed Bill Settings > Click off and you will be signed up for paperless billing. Then, go into Notifications > Billing and choose your contact preferences.

Personal information received through our online payment system will not be rented, sold, circulated or shared by Jasper County REMC with the exception of those elements necessary to conducting the core business of Jasper County REMC.
