Prepay is here

Take control of your electric service with South Central Power's Prepay program -- a flexible, pay-as-you-go option designed to fit your lifestyle and budget.

Prepay allows residential members to pay for electricity in advance instead of receiving a monthly bill. You purchase power when it's convenient for you -- whether that's weekly, biweekly or as needed. As you use electricity, your account balance decreases. You'll be notified when it's time to add more funds, giving you more control and fewer surprises.

With no deposit required and no monthly bills or late fees, you'll be able to monitor your usage in real time, track your spending, and avoid unexpected bills. Pay with ease through our website, the South Central app, by phone or in person during your next visit.
