Power on Your Terms
Imagine if your energy account worked like the battery on your phone—you could check how much is left anytime, see how fast you’re using it, and charge it up when you need to. That’s exactly the kind of control Lakeland Electric’s Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) program gives you.
This flexible prepaid billing option puts you in charge of your energy use and payments—with no deposit, no late fees, and no reconnect fees. Whether you want to save energy, manage your household budget more closely, or avoid the cycle of surprise bills, PAYG was built with your needs in mind.
What is Pay-As-You-Go?
Pay-As-You-Go lets you pay for your electricity in advance, starting with as little as $25. Your balance goes down as you use power, and you can track everything in real time through your online account or mobile app. You’ll get low balance alerts via text, email, or phone—so there are no surprises.
There’s no deposit required, and no late or reconnect fees. It’s simple, flexible, and transparent.
Who Should Consider PAYG?
This program is ideal for two types of residential customers:
- Smart Savers – Want to reduce energy use and keep an eye on your spending? PAYG gives you daily insights so you can adjust habits and save money.
- Fresh Start Customers – Struggling with fees, disconnections, or high deposits? PAYG offers a way out of that cycle, including an option to pay off your past-due balance over six months through our Priority Debt Program.
If you’ve already paid a deposit, we’ll apply it toward your new PAYG account setup—no extra out-of-pocket costs to switch. It's a fresh start without a financial burden.
How to Get Started
- Pay a $50 setup fee (your deposit may cover this)
- Add a minimum of $25 in energy credit
- Start using electricity immediately—and tracking your balance daily
