Take Control of Your Power with Pay As You Go

Imagine if your electric account worked like the battery on your phone. You could check how much power you have left at any time, see how fast you’re using it, and “recharge” when you need to.
That’s exactly the kind of control Lakeland Electric’s Pay As You Go program gives you.
Instead of waiting for a monthly bill, you pay for electricity in advance and manage your balance in real time, simple, flexible, and transparent.

What Is Pay As You Go?

Pay As You Go lets you pay for your electricity before you use it, starting with as little as $25. Your balance decreases as you use power, and you can track everything through your online account or mobile app.
You’ll receive low-balance alerts by text, email, or phone, so there are no surprises.

With Pay As You Go:
  • ? No deposit required
  • ? No late fees
  • ? No reconnect fees
  • ? Real-time tracking of your energy use
  • ? Full control over when and how much you pay

It’s a modern way to manage electricity on your terms.


Who Should Consider Pay As You Go?

This program is ideal for two types of residential customers:

Smart Savers

Want to reduce your energy use and keep a close eye on spending? Pay As You Go gives you daily insights into how much power you’re using so you can adjust habits, conserve energy, and potentially lower costs.

Fresh Start Customers

If you’ve struggled with high deposits, late fees, or service disconnections, Pay As You Go offers a new path forward. The program helps you avoid those extra charges and regain control of your account.
Customers with a past-due balance may qualify for Lakeland Electric’s Priority Debt Program, which allows you to pay off what you owe over six months while still using Pay As You Go.

Good news, your deposit can be applied toward setting up your Pay As You Go account. That could mean little to no additional out-of-pocket cost to switch.

Getting started is easy:
  1. Pay a $50 setup fee (your existing deposit may cover this)
  2. Add a minimum of $25 in energy credit
  3. Start using electricity right away and track your balance daily
Even if you have a past-due balance, you may still be able to enroll through the Priority Debt Program.
