Pay-as-you-go electricity, or better known as prepaid electricity, allows you to deposit funds into your account and use those funds to cover the cost of your electric usage. When the funds in your account run low, you deposit more to keep the lights on. This allows you to know how much electricity you are using so you can adjust your energy usage and stay within a budget. You are not sent a bill at the end of a cycle. Pogo does not charge you late fees, disconnect or reconnect fees. No surprises, no hassles, and no BS. With a pay-as-you-go electricity plan, we will not run your credit and we do not charge a deposit for your service to be turned on. Postpaid electricity plans are almost always a “surprise” as in, “Surprise, you used this much electricity this month, and owe us this much - time to pay up.” We call it “bill shock” (BS). If you don’t pay your energy bill on time, you will likely get hit with late payment fees, be subject to having your power disconnected and then need to pay a reconnect charge. Postpaid electricity companies often require that customers have a credit check and pay a deposit based off of the results before electric service is started. Pogo doesn't do any of that stuff, and that's why Pogo is different.
