“Pay as you Go” is a prepaid metering and payment system that replaces traditional utility services agreements by allowing customers to prepay for their services. The amount paid into the account is up to the customer and there are no deposits required. As power is used, the funds in the account are deducted.
Just as a gas gauge warns a driver when it is time to refuel, “Pay as you Go” sends notification to the customer that it is time to deposit more money in the account. The use of smart meters allows connections and disconnections to be made remotely and the customer has the ability to monitor their daily usage on line or from a smart phone.
