Prepay
📞Billie AI
💳Payments
🖥PayGo Cloud CIS
No More Bill Shock
Pay as you go.
No surprises at month's end.
Instead of one big bill, customers pay for energy in advance — like a prepaid phone. They watch their balance daily, get a heads-up when it's running low, and never face a surprise disconnection. Utilities stop spending money chasing late payments.
7–15%
Average bill reduction
90%
Prepay customer satisfaction

Reduction in peak demand
Arrearage Assist
When customers fall behind, a portion of every new payment automatically goes toward reducing old debt — typically 75% to their prepay balance, 25% to arrears. No payment plans, no default risk. Exceleron has helped utilities recover more than $300M in overdue balances.
Usage Monitoring
Customers see their daily energy cost in plain dollars — before the bill arrives. When people understand what they're spending, they use about 11% less energy on average, and "why is my bill so high?" calls drop dramatically.

Prepay, Postpay & Payments
One CIS for everything
today's customer expects.
PayGo Cloud CIS is a single, web-based (SaaS) customer information system for prepay, postpay, and payment processing. It leverages your AMI investment to deliver the real-time experience customers want — so accounts can move between prepay and postpay, and customers see their daily cost across every service. The result: greater satisfaction, a more flexible toolset, and lower technology risk and cost.

What Industry Leaders Say
Hear it from the utilities running it.
Customers use about 11% less energy. They also learn how their house performs from an energy perspective. The biggest benefit is the improved customer relationship by empowering the customer to handle energy usage more responsibly.
TE
Tim Echols · Georgia Public Service Commission
We consider prepaid to be a win-win-win. It's a win for the utility; the customers are no longer a financial risk. It's a win for the customers enrolled. And it's a win for our other customers, because it stabilizes rates.
CL
Chad Lynch · Ocala Utility Services
With MyUsage, every day customers are aware of their energy usage, consumption and cost — so it helps them balance the money budgeted for utility services.
BP
Brian Pippin · Jacksonville Electric Authority
MyUsage is great because of the people. They saw us as special in our own way and addressed us that way. We were not just another cookie cutter company.

⚡ Prepay

Give customers control
before the bill arrives.

Instead of one big monthly surprise, customers pay for energy in advance and stay informed every day. Utilities save money, reduce disconnections, and build better relationships with the customers who need it most.

How It Works
Simple for customers. Powerful for utilities.

Customers load funds onto their account in advance. As they use electricity, gas, or water, that balance ticks down each day. When it gets low, MyUsage alerts them by text, email, or voice — and gives them easy ways to add more.

Prepay has a reputation. We've spent 20+ years helping utilities and regulators see it differently — as a tool for customer choice and financial relief. In 2025, NARUC invited us to present at its national policy conference for the first time.
How debt retirement works: A portion of every new payment automatically reduces a customer's pre-existing balance — typically 75% goes to their prepay credit, 25% to arrears. No payment plans, no default risk. Exceleron has helped utilities recover more than $300M in overdue balances this way.
What Customers Can Do
  • Check their balance via app, website, or automated phone line
  • Make smaller, more frequent payments that fit their budget
  • Set up personalized reminders by text, email, or phone
  • See how many days of service they have left
  • Pay via app, website, phone, or cash at 88,000+ locations
  • Skip security deposits, reconnection fees, and late fees entirely
The Business Case
Prepay is better for utilities too.
📉

Less Bad Debt

Customers pay in advance, so utilities carry zero credit risk for enrolled accounts.

Lower Energy Use

When customers see what they're spending every day, they use 11% less on average.

📞

Fewer Calls

Prepay customers self-serve — far fewer calls about balances, bills, or payments.

😊

Happier Customers

Prepay customers score 10+ points higher on J.D. Power satisfaction surveys.

🖥 PayGo Cloud CIS®

A single solution for
prepay, postpay & payments.

The Problem
The marketplace for CIS solutions is missing something.

Customers want more flexible billing and payment options. They want to do business without talking to a representative. They live in "real-time" and expect 24/7 access to what they're spending.

Today's CIS systems don't keep up with customers, so the utility struggles to keep up with their demands — hiring more representatives in the call center, or bolting on separate add-on technology that only makes delivering value more expensive and frustrating for everyone.

What Today's Customer Wants
  • Flexible billing — the freedom to choose prepay or postpay
  • Self-service that doesn't require a phone call
  • Real-time, 24/7 visibility into daily usage and cost
  • Every modern way to pay, on every channel
What It Is
One platform for everything today's customer expects.

For the small to mid-size public utility, PayGo Cloud CIS delivers a single solution that provides everything today's customer wants — including the ability to view daily billing charges calculated on their energy consumption. It's a fully SaaS customer information system that leverages the utility's AMI investment to deliver a real-time experience, with the right level of MDM functionality to support high levels of customer engagement.

Accounts can transition between prepay and postpay — giving customers genuine choice while lowering the utility's operating costs. The result: greater customer satisfaction, a more flexible and robust toolset, and lower technology risk and cost.
