It never occured to me that the power companies were actually offering a discount. I've always considered it a penalty for late payment dressed up as a discount. Whatever, I do my best to make sure I don't have to pay it. At this time of year it'd pay for a bottle of wine.
Once when I was in hospital a guy who lived alone on a prepay system was discharged on a Saturday morning. Power was turned off because he was in hospital, he had very little credit and he would not be able to pay for more power until the office opened on Monday. Listening to him discussing his limited options put me off even considering a prepay scheme.
