Payless Power plans

As one of the top no-deposit electricity companies in Texas, Payless Power focuses on offering prepaid electricity plans to its customers. There are two main Payless Power plans available on the SaveOnEnergy marketplace, each with different term lengths.

12 Month Prepaid

Payless Power’s 12-month plan is a prepaid plan with a one-year contract. Your electricity rate won’t change during those 12 months. With this plan, you can start your service without paying an upfront deposit. However, you do need to load at least $40 into your account to start service. Simply recharge your balance as needed to maintain service. If you cancel your Payless Power plan before the contract ends, you’ll pay a $99 early termination fee (ETF). You can find this information and more in your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

6 Month Prepaid

This six-month prepaid plan is just like 12-month Payless energy plan, aside from the contract length. There’s still no upfront deposit — you just need to maintain a balance in your account to keep your service going. You’ll incur a $99 ETF if you end your contract early. This plan is best for customers who prefer short-term contracts.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

  • Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information, including:
    • Price per kilowatt-hour based on your energy usage
    • The plan’s percentage of renewable energy sourcing
    • Early termination fees
  • Let your supplier handle the setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
  • Read the fine print of your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees appear as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

  • After you’ve entered your ZIP code, select Payless Power from the providers option under our search filter. You can then browse the details of the Payless Power plans available in your area. When you’ve chosen your preferred plan, you can sign up online in a matter of minutes.

  • Typically, Payless Power plans have an ETF of $99, which applies if you cancel your contract early. However, there are exceptions to this. You can switch to another Payless Power plan within 30 days of signing up without paying a fee. You also won’t have to pay a cancellation fee if you terminate your contract because you’re moving out of the service area.

  • Payless Power has operated since 2005. It entered the market shortly after the deregulation of the electricity market in Texas in 2002.

  • That all depends on your energy needs. The shorter six-month prepaid plan is ideal if you prioritize flexibility or if you think you’ll be moving soon. Those who prefer longer-term stability should check out the 12-month option to lock in a prepaid electricity rate for a year.
