RP&L CONSIDERS IMPLEMENTING PRE-PAY PROGRAM

(Richmond, IN)--Richmond Power & Light is considering a program that would allow residential customers to pre-pay their electric bills.  RP&L General Manager Tony Foster explained it to the RP&L Board Monday night:  "It's just like a pre-paid cell phone plan except that you're buying your power in advance.  When you get close to running out of that pre-paid power, you would get a notification on your cell phone or an e-mail."  Foster said that they’ll be studying other communities already using a pre-pay system before offering it in Richmond.
