About Pogo Energy

Pogo Energy is a licensed Texas light company. They do pay-as-you-go plans only. No deposit, no credit check. You pay a startup cost, then add money when you need to.

No deposit means no waiting on a credit check. Your startup cost includes connection fees plus your first balance. Good option if you need lights on fast.

Same-day lights: Pick a plan before 3:00 PM CT and you can have your lights today. After that, usually next business day.

How Pogo Energy Pay-as-you-go Works

Pay what you can, when you can. Stay in control of your light bill.

1

Pay $30 to start

That covers connection fees plus your first balance. No deposit, no credit check. Just pay and you're in.

2

Use your lights

Your balance goes down based on what you actually use. They'll text you when it's getting low so you can top off before it runs out.

3

Top off when you need to

Add money when you can. Card, PayPal, or cash at stores like CVS or Walmart. No monthly bill. No surprises.

What you should know

The honest truth about pay-as-you-go

  • It costs more. Pay-as-you-go rates run about $50-60 higher per month than traditional plans. That's the trade-off for no deposit.
  • Balance hits $0, lights go off. No grace period. Set up those text alerts and top off before you run out.
  • Won't clear a switch hold. If someone owes money at your address, pay-as-you-go can't get around that. You'd need to clear it with the utility first.
  • No hidden fees here. But always double-check rates with the light company before you sign. Prices change.
