Most individuals and families work hard to find ways to save on monthly household expenses. Cutting corners on the monthly power bill isn’t usually an area that comes to mind, but thanks to Ampra Energy, added savings on utilities are now a possibility.

Ampra Energy, the #1 retail energy provider in Texas, offers consumers prepaid, postpaid, and small business power plans that can’t be beaten.

What exactly is prepaid electricity, and how does the price differ from postpaid electricity?

Let’s take a look at each type of power plan so that you can make the most informed decision for your home and budgetary needs.

Prepaid vs Postpaid Electricity

• The main difference between prepaid electricity and postpaid electricity is how consumers are billed.
• Postpaid electricity plans are the most commonly known, or “traditional” power plans. These plans require payment at the end of the billing cycle, or after the utility consumption has already occurred.
• If a postpaid consumer receives a bill with a particularly large amount due, there’s usually not much they can do to adjust or reduce the amount since the energy has already been used.
• Consumers who are not concerned over their monthly billed amount typically choose to enroll in postpaid power plans.
• Conversely, prepaid electricity plans, like those offered by Ampra Energy, afford customers the opportunity to pay for their electricity ahead of time, or before it is used.
• Many consumers enjoy having a set amount to pay for power in mind, with no surprise charges or hefty bills to expect at the end of the month.
• Smart Meters are electronic devices that are installed in consumers’ homes, recording data for analysis by both the power company as well as the prepaid consumer.
• These user-friendly gadgets show consumers exactly when and how much energy is being used within their household, allowing them the chance to adjust their habits and scale back as needed to stay within budget.
