Pay-As-You-Go

Hopkinsville Electric’s new Pay-As-You-Go program gives residential electric customers a whole new way to pay for their electricity usage. Rather than receiving a normal monthly electric statement, residential electric customers can pay as much or as little as they choose to “load” money into their account. Each day’s usage is deducted from the account. When the account balance gets low, simply load more money into the account. Text or email notifications can be set up when the balance falls to a selected level.

Some highlights of the Pay-As-You-Go program include:

  • NO DEPOSIT!
  • Only $100 required to start service ($50 reserve, $25 connection fee, $25 of electricity)
  • No credit check
  • No late fees or reconnection fees
  • Pay whenever you want
  • Pay whatever you want ($25 minimum for payments in HES office)
  • Make payments by phone, online, in office or at MoneyGram locations

 

You may start your Pay-As-You-Go service online or by visiting the HES office at 1820 E. 9th Street. Before submitting your request online or at the HES office, make sure you gather the required items listed below.

What do Pay-As-You-Go customers have to say about the program?

“I enjoy that it’s not just another chunk of money that has to be paid out—the smaller payments are more manageable. I also enjoy the website where I can track payments and usage, daily if needed.”

“I like that it keeps me energy conscious and more mindful about turning off unused lights or appliances. I feel like it’s helping me to save money as well.”

“I feel more in control of what I use and spend.”
