State Energy Assistance Programs

  • The statewide Electric Assistance Program (EAP) provides income-eligible customers with discounts on their electric bills. Eligibility and the level of discount depend on the customer's utility, level of income, and whether the home uses electric heat. The discounts are intended to bring the customer's annual electric bill to approximately 4% of annual income (6% for customers with electric heat).
