The Reliant Prepaid Power plan is an electricity plan for customers who have a Smart Meter. The plan offers customers the freedom to decide how much electricity to purchase, as opposed to a traditional plan that sends out a bill at the end of a billing cycle. In addition, customers can choose to make recurring payments and avoid any worries about dwindling account balances.

We offer three easy ways to add funds to your available balance:

• Log in to your account and pay with a credit card, debit card or electronic check.
• Call 1-877-734-7243 to use the automated customer service system to pay via credit card, debit card or electronic check.
• Visit a convenient walk-up payment location, and then let us know your payment is being made by calling the number shown above. 

Yes, a minimum payment amount of $50 is required. After that, you decide how much and how often to increase your available balance; however, we recommend maintaining a balance sufficient to cover at least 14 days of estimated electricity usage.

Yes. Log in to your account and select the Account Services tab. Click on Automatic Payment to begin the sign-up process.

A $25 returned payment charge will be assessed against your Reliant account if funds are insufficient to cover the online payment.

Each week you will receive a Weekly Balance Alert that includes your current account balance, detailed information on the prior week’s electricity consumption and an estimate of the number of days of electricity remaining in your account. Along with these weekly communications, your current balance is available 24/7 at reliant.com or through our automated customer service system at 1-866-872-6644. You can also opt in for Reliant AccountAlerts, which will notify you on demand of your usage and balance via text or email.

Yes, you will receive a low balance notification via email or text when your account balance contains only enough funds to cover seven days or less of estimated electricity usage. These daily notifications will continue until your account balance is increased to an amount equal to or greater than the estimated cost of more than seven days of electricity usage.

To restore electricity service on an account that has been disconnected for non-payment, you will need to make a payment that brings your account balance to $30 or more. Reconnects are performed Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).

If a payment is made at a walk-up location, please call 1-877-734-7243, Monday through Friday (excluding holidays) to discuss reconnection.

Your Weekly Balance Summary will provide greater insight into your home’s electricity usage. You can also log on to reliant.com and manage your account, 24/7.

Your electricity service may be disconnected for non-payment, or failure to maintain a balance greater than $5, at any time.
