About Smart Prepaid Electric
Smart Prepaid Electric was established in 2010 and serves electric customers in Texas. The company is a subsidiary of Just Energy, which also operates Amigo Energy and Tara Energy. Smart Prepaid offers an alternative for your electric bill — rather than signing a long-term agreement, you can pay for your energy upfront and top up your account as needed. No-deposit plans such as prepaid electricity plans are popular for customers who like flexibility and don’t want to pay a deposit before starting their service.

Smart Prepaid Electric plans
Smart Prepaid Electric specializes in prepaid electricity plans for customers with smart meters. With a prepaid plan, you purchase energy upfront and monitor your usage through your meter. You can get the latest information on your balance by text message or by logging into your account online. When your balance gets low, you can purchase more electricity to keep the lights on.
Smart Prepaid Electric rates are offered as variable-rate energy prices. This approach means the price you’ll pay for your electricity will vary in line with the price on the wholesale market. The benefit of variable-rate Smart Prepaid Electric plans is that you can sometimes get the cheapest rates. However, when demand goes up, prices can spike and push your electric bill higher.
