You can also make a payment through your online account, or in-person at any ACE, HEB, or Kroger. Once payment has been received by V247 Power and posted to your account, our system sends out a reconnection transaction to the utility to restore service. Reconnection will typically take less than two hours if your home has a Smart Meter. If your home or business has an analog meter, reconnection could take up to 24 – 48 hours depending on the workload of the technician.
