Description
Prepaid electric utility service. Authorizes electric cooperatives to install and operate a prepaid metering equipment and system upon a customer's request. The equipment and system will terminate electric service immediately and automatically when the customer has incurred charges for electric service equal to the amount prepaid by the customer. Such service would be exempt from existing requirements that a utility provide one billing cycle before initiating a proceeding for a residential customer's nonpayment for local service, pay interest on deposits, return deposits after one year of satisfactory credit, give 10 days' notice prior to terminating service, and not terminate a customer's residential service for payment of basic nonresidential service.
