EnergyShare® provides assistance to customers in two different ways:

1. Bill Payment Assistance
   EnergyShare® is a year-round, financial crisis program of last resort that helps pay energy bills for any type of cooling and heating source. EnergyShare® is not income based so any customer in crisis is eligible to apply.
   
   Customer applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility. If approved, the benefit is paid directly to the customer's energy provider.
   
   Individuals 60 and older may be eligible for additional assistance. Military veterans and those individuals living with disabilities may qualify for an additional $500 benefit if participating in the voucher programs of the Department of Veteran Services or the Centers for Independent Living.
   
   
2. Weatherization
   Customers who receive EnergyShare® bill payment assistance are eligible to receive a free home energy assessment and the installation of free energy efficiency upgrades to help save on their energy costs.
