How Does It Work?

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.
