Georgia Power to pilot prepay electric service
[img:Georgia_0.jpg| ]Atlanta, GA, U.S.A. --- (METERING.COM) --- January 23, 2012 - Georgia Power is to undertake a pilot with PayGo Electric™ to study the commercial feasibility of providing the option of a prepaid electric service to customers.
PayGo's patent pending technology embeds logic in the communications modules, the smart meter, or the system servers, which can alert both the customer and the utility of the need to add credit to a customer's account for continued electric service. The system can leverage a utility's existing assets while it includes a nationwide payment processing platform enabling utilities to use existing as well as new payment methods for their customers. This allows customers to be continuously informed of their account status and enables them to pay for their electricity on a schedule which best fits their needs.
