How to receive electric service
There are three ways to sign up for electric service with West Ky Rural Electric Cooperative - online, by phone and in person at a WKRECC office. Please keep in mind that WKRECC connects and disconnects service Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Residential WKRECC members have a choice of two ways to pay, post-paid or prepay.
• Post-paid is the traditional way to pay for power.
- Residential or commercial members use electricity one month, and then pay for the amount they used the following month.
- These members may be required to pay a deposit up front.
- If the electricity is turned off due to non-payment, reconnect fees are required before service will be reconnected and additional deposits may result.
- Members may set up new service online for post-paid service, or caII 877-495-7322
- For residential members, the deposit is returned after 12 months of excellent pay history.
- To set up a post-paid (traditional) account, please complete the online application.

• Our pre-pay program is a pay-as-you-go plan that offers members a way to pay for electricity when they want, in the amount they want. It works just like buying gas for your car -you fill up your electricity tank, monitor your usage and add more kilowatt hours whenever you wish. If the funds on the account are depleted, the electricity is turned off.
- The member puts more money on the account (enough to bring the balance to at least $35 above zero) plus a $15 reconnect fee to get it turned back on.
- Prepaid members also get the added benefit of not having to pay a deposit.
- To set up a prepaid account, please complete the online application.
