Same-day no-deposit electricity
Customers in a time crunch may benefit from no-deposit options. A no-deposit electricity plan allows residents to avoid paying an upfront deposit and can often be a quick way to sign up.
Same-day prepaid electricity
Same-day prepaid electricity plans allow customers to pay for their electricity usage in advance. These plans give customers flexibility with a “pay as you go” plan, and they typically do not require a deposit. As a result, you can often get same-day light service with no deposit (assuming you have a smart meter).
Many prepaid electricity plans have real-time monitoring so customers can manage their usage. Rather than a monthly plan, customers can use electricity until their account runs out and then purchase more when needed.
Many Texas electricity providers offer prepaid electricity with same-day service. Certain providers, such as Payless Power, specialize in this plan type. Enter your ZIP code and filter for “All credit approved” to explore same-day prepaid lights plans.
