How it Works
The Prepay Power process is simple: put as much money as you want in your account, and we supply you with electricity. As you use power, your account balance goes down. When the funds run out, the electricity does too. You can "recharge" by adding money to your account any time, day or night.
- Sign up
- Load up
- Set up alerts

Prepay Power is a solution for all types of members. It puts the control into our members' hands, lets you keep tabs on what you use each day, and allows you to make adjustments before it's too late and the bill becomes to much to handle.
Prepay Power FAQs
Yes, if you currently have a conventional monthly billing plan with Victory Electric, you can still switch to Prepay Power. An existing security deposit will be applied to any outstanding balance, including unbilled use, and the remainder can be refunded or transferred to your new Prepay Power account.
SmartHub displays your Prepay Power account as a credit balance. That means when you pay Victory Electric $50, it appears as $-50 because Victory Electric owes you that money. As you use electricity each day, it is deducted from the credit balance so Victory Electric’s debt to you is less.
The threshold is the smallest amount of money you can have in your account before we send you a payment reminder. Victory Electric automatically sets the threshold at $25, but you can adjust this amount so you have plenty of time to make a payment after receiving the reminder. Once your account falls below the threshold balance, you will be alerted each day the balance is below your threshold by text message, call, email or all three — depending on what notifications you choose. It is important to update your contact information in SmartHub any time it changes.
Failure to receive the alert does not stop a disconnection. You are responsible for routinely monitoring your account and electric use through SmartHub.
Yes. Any funds provided by a help agency will be credited to an account once received. However, pledges by an organization will not postpone disconnection.
You no longer receive a monthly bill with Prepay Power. However, each month there is a “true-up” of the previous month’s charges during our regular monthly billing cycle.
Yes, SmartHub has the ability to send notifications to multiple phone numbers and email addresses. In addition, individual credit cards can be used to make payments.
After Victory Electric receives its power bill and Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA) from our power supplier each month, our system-wide billing process runs and your monthly ECA is updated for Prepay Power. The system recalculates monthly charges based on the ECA, so members may see an unusually high or low daily bill amount on the day after this “true-up” happens.
Yes. Monthly charges such as yard lights, taxes, franchise taxes and the service availability charge will be charged to Prepay Power billing accounts on a prorated, daily basis.
Our automated, digital meters provide you and Victory Electric near real-time energy use information about how much, when, and at what rate energy is used. As the home uses electricity, your account balance updates daily depending on the amount of kilowatt-hours (kWh) used. You can also use the consumption information to monitor power in your home for energy conservation and money savings.
The service can remain off for a maximum of 10 calendar days before the account is closed. At the end of the 10 calendar days, the membership is considered canceled and your account will be final billed. The service availability charge, and other applicable charges like yard lights, will continue to be applied to the account during this 10-day period, regardless of whether the power is on or off.
Once you have replenished your account to a credit balance of $50+ after being disconnected for an insufficient balance, power will automatically be restored. If your power is not restored within 30 minutes, please call our office and a crew will be dispatched. A fee will be assessed if a crew is dispatched to restore power for nonpayment. NOTE: A credit balance of $50+ includes any amount owed for prior day(s) use in addition to the $50 credit.
Yes, if a member wishes to convert a Prepay Power account to a regular-billed account, a credit check will be performed to determine if a deposit is requested.

A no hassle solution for paying your monthly electric bill. AutoPay is a recurring payment program that pays your monthly electric bill directly from the financial institution and account or credit/debit card of your choice on the bill’s due date or the closest business day if due date falls on a weekend or holiday.
Per normal, you will receive your electric bill on a monthly basis. When enrolled in AutoPay, your statement will display "[$] TO BE DRAFTED ON [DATE]” in the amount due box. You can also can opt for paperless billing and receive your bill electronically. You will receive an email or text message stating the amount due and that your detailed bill is ready to view in SmartHub. With both methods, you will have time, up to 30 days, to contact us with any questions or concerns before the amount due is drafted from your account on the due date. Credit/debit card transactions are limited to $2,500.
Note: The biggest advantage to AutoPay is ensuring your bills are consistently paid on time. Victory Electric is not alerted when a member’s bank account or credit/debit card is cancelled, closed or overdrawn. So if you are on bank draft and lack enough money in your account, your bank will refuse payment your account will be subject to late fees and possible disconnection. Similarly, if your credit/debit card is maxed out, canceled or frozen, the card company will reject the charge and your account will be subject to late fees and possible disconnection. However, if you have an email address on file, you will be alerted when your credit/debit card is about to expire, giving you time to update your card information to avoid late fees or disconnection.
AutoPay can be set up from the convenience of your home or office via SmartHub with these simple steps. If you have questions, call or stop by our office and a Victory Electric member service representative will be happy to explain the process. If you prefer not to set up AutoPay through SmartHub, complete this form for bank draft only. For AutoPay via credit/debit card, you must use SmartHub.
Absolutely! If you are not pleased with the AutoPay payment option, give Victory Electric a call or visit SmartHub to cancel. If you should need to temporarily suspend AutoPay, just contact Victory Electric or visit SmartHub prior to the payment date on your bill. You can then pay by cash or check. If your credit/debit card expires, you get a new card, or you change bank accounts, it can easily be changed in SmartHub.
Data breaches make headlines, but online banking and payment systems are no less secure than leaving a check in an envelope in an unguarded mailbox. In fact, your accounts may be better protected through the encryption techniques used to secure members’ information.
