Looking for cheap electricity? Hey, good for you, more people should! Unfortunately, it’s hard to get past the gimmicks that promise low cost electric plans, that actually end up costing you more money.
We offer cheap electricity, but we are not cheap
At Pogo, we provide energy that costs less than many of our competitors. But don’t worry, it’s the same energy that you would get from anyone else. We promise that your lights won’t flicker and you’ll get first rate customer service. Are you asking yourself, “So how can Pogo charge less for the same electricity that other month to month electric companies are charging”?
Is the Power Pogo Distributes less effective than Power with a Higher Price Tag? Nope!
We all get our power from the same Transmission and Distribution Utilities (TDUs) across Texas. You choose who you buy it from. “Cheap lights” doesn’t mean lower quality.
So, if it’s the same product, why do the big guys charge more?
The difference isn’t the electrons themselves – it’s the companies peddling it. They pretend that their plans are the cheapest, then lock you into a long-term contract and make their profits off of all the hidden fees they didn’t tell you about when you first signed up. You shouldn’t need a law degree to save money on your energy bills (electricity is a necessity!) But with some of these long term contracts with other electric companies, you might need to become a lawyer to understand all the fine print.
Contracts and fees aren’t the only shady practices that these power and utility companies engage in. That “free nights and weekends” plan you signed up for is probably a scam, too. During the night time hours and over the weekend is typically when you use the least amount of energy. So many electric companies that advertise Free Night and Weekend Energy Plans charge more during peak times to make up for the “discount”, you aren’t really getting.
Even if a company claims that they have the lowest rate, you can bet they’ll make up for it with fees. Connection fees, distribution fees, cancelation fees, late fees, reconnection fees and whatever other fees that they can dream up. And, if a company has a high rate, you’re not really getting anything extra for that money.
This is how you get cheap electricity
Want actual cheap electricity? Here’s how: find a better energy company. Like Pogo!
You won’t find any hidden fees here, not because they’re hidden *really* it’s because we don’t have any hidden fees to begin with. Some other things we don’t have that end up costing you money when you sign up with the other guys is; deposits, credit checks, or annual contracts. What we do have is a ton of extremely satisfied customers, transparency, excellent customer service, and we are a provider and supporter of 100% clean renewable energy, and a burning desire to change the electricity game in Texas.
Speaking of paying less, you know the best way to do that? Actually being aware of your usage in real-time! Our pay-as-you-go model (also known as prepaid electricity, but without all the dirty tricks that many prepaid providers pull) includes daily text alerts telling you how much energy you’re using. Putting you in control helps you reduce your usage, which means reducing your bill no matter what your rate is.
Between helping you cut your usage, not charging you hidden fees and not locking you into a long contract, we think we’ve got the perfect recipe for *actual* cheap prepaid electricity.
