Get Financial Assistance

This program lets you pay a fixed amount each month. Budget billing averages bills over 12 months. Each monthly bill is the same amount until the total bill is paid. The company may adjust the bill four times a year, up or down, depending on your usage. Call your electric utility and ask about budget billing.

In this program, you agree to make regular monthly payments to your utility in exchange for continued services. Your bills are based on household size and gross household income. You must follow certain rules to stay eligible for continued participation. CAP customers cannot shop for a competitive electric supplier.

This program helps those in special circumstances find ways to pay their utility bills. These circumstances include:

• Family Emergencies.
• Divorce.
• Unemployment.
• Medical Emergencies.

CARES offers different types of assistance based on your situation. Contact your electric utility for details
