is this prepaid electric

Asked by: ember
Hi, Ember! The You Got This Free Weekends 24 is one of our popular monthly plan options. It allows you to have both a monthly bill and free usage each weekend from Fridays at 6:00 p.m. through Sundays at 11:59 p.m. If you are interested in prepaid plans you can see all of those options by going to the electricity tab and selecting on Shop Prepaid Electricity. I hope you have a great day! -Elle

Is this a fairly new plan for the company? There are no reviews or consumer feedback regarding how this plan works and/or compares to other plans. I am looking for an average bill w/ associated fees.
