Unlike traditional post-pay accounts, prepaid electric service accounts allow members to pay for their electricity before they use it. This approach gives the member more flexibility and control over the use of electricity. It allows members to avoid deposits and fees, customize their payment schedule, purchase energy when convenient, and monitor their electricity consumption in a self-managed program.

Members on the standard residential rate (R-1, R-2) are eligible. Time-of-Use (TOU) and Distributed Generation (DG) accounts are not eligible.

While the electric rate (cost per kWh) and basic service charge remain unchanged on prepaid electric service, there is a daily charge of 15 cents. Existing members can convert their accounts to prepay electric service by agreeing to the application terms and placing a minimum of $50 credit balance on the account for daily use.

Unlike traditional post-pay accounts, prepaid electric service does not require a member deposit. Prepaid accounts are not penalized for disconnects and reconnects.

Yes, you can switch to prepaid electric service even if you already have service at Harrison REMC. Any existing deposits will be applied to your outstanding balance owed, and any remaining funds will be applied as a credit on the new prepaid account.

New and existing members can apply for prepaid electric service by calling the REMC or stopping by the REMC office.

Payments can be made at the Harrison REMC office during normal working hours (7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.). Payments can be made 24 hours a day by phone (812-738-4115 or 812-951-2323), online at www.harrisonremc.com or via the REMC app on your cell phone.

Members participating in prepaid electric service can access their account information through the Harrison REMC Pay Online Portal at https://billing.harrisonremc.com/hremc/login.jsp, or by calling or visiting the REMC office.

Prepay members will not receive monthly statements. All account information is through text/email notifications. It is the member’s responsibility to notify REMC of any change in phone number due to notifications being sent via text.

When members sign up for prepaid electric service, they will be allowed to set up alerts and reminders on their accounts. Alerts can be sent in any combination using text messaging, email and phone message calls. Members can also view the status of their accounts online through the Harrison REMC Pay Online Portal.

If a member’s account balance runs out of funds, the service will lapse and automatically disconnect. Members will receive a low balance alert prior to being disconnected, and will receive another alert once the power has been disconnected.

Members can recharge their account at any time, day or night, using the internet online portal, by phone, the REMC app, or at the Harrison REMC office during normal business hours. Once a payment is processed, service will be automatically restored within 30 minutes.

Arrangements are not allowed on prepay electric service accounts.

Prepaid accounts that lapse and do not become reconnected after 10 days will be considered inactive. Harrison REMC will mail a final bill to the last known address on file.

Members may elect to convert their account from prepaid to post-paid electric service at any time, although they may be required to pay all account balances and are subject to the required deposits.
