Bill Payment Assistance

EnergyShare® is a program of last resort that helps pay energy bills for any type of heating source (wood, oil, natural gas, propane, kerosene, electric). EnergyShare® is not income based so any customer facing financial hardship is eligible to apply.

Customer applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by our partner agencies to determine eligibility. If approved, the benefit is paid directly to the customer's energy provider.

The EnergyShare^® program is funded by Dominion Energy, with additional support coming from the generosity of our employees, our customers, and community partners. If you would like to help others in your community, you may contribute either online via our new donation portal or by mail. All donations are processed through the United Way of Greater Richmond & Petersburg (UWGRP).
