Prepaid Metering

What if paying your electric bill was like buying gas for your vehicle? It can be.

Fulton County REMC offers prepaid billing, a pay-as-you-go energy solution.
  • Choose your own payment schedule
  • Purchase electricity when convenient
  • Monitor electric use
  • Customize the plan that’s best for you
  • No deposits, no late fees, no monthly bills

What is Prepaid Billing?

With prepaid billing, you pay for electricity how and when you choose. Purchasing electricity before you use it allows you to control your budget and pay how much you want, when you want. And there are no security deposits or late fees. Instead of a monthly bill, your usage and balance are calculated daily.

How Does it Work?

You purchase electricity before you use it. Payments can be made when you want – online, over the phone, or in person at our office. When your account runs low, you will get an alert by email, phone call or text, letting you know it’s time to recharge your account.
