YES YOU CAN! Payless Power has just introduced a prepaid electricity plan with a 12 month fixed rate! This means you won't have any credit check or deposit AND you'll know you have a steady, fixed-rate electric plan for the next year! It's the best of both worlds for anyone who just needs a little help getting into a fixed rate plan.
