EnergyShare is a crisis program of last resort that helps pay energy bills for any type of heating and cooling source (wood, oil, natural gas, propane, kerosene, electric) for those who qualify. 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.

Due to the financial impact of COVID-19, the EnergyShare eligibility guidelines have been temporarily expanded to assist more people in the community.

• Simply add $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $25, or $35 to the amount due on your bill.
• Overpayments in these exact amounts are automatically recognized as a contribution and will be documented on your next bill.
• Or, mail a check for any amount (made payable to "EnergyShare") to
