EnergyShare®
Financial Assistance for Those in Need
EnergyShare® is an energy assistance program of last resort that helps people who are having trouble paying their heating bill, no matter their income. The program is available year-round and helps with energy bills of any type of heating (oil, natural gas, kerosene, propane, wood, and electricity).
You may qualify if you:
- Live in Dominion Energy's service area.
- Have received a disconnection notice.
- Need your service reconnected.
- Need help keeping your payment plan.
- Have received a Budget Billing removal notice.
Local agencies look at applications and decide who is eligible. If approved, the payment is sent directly to your energy company.
- You can apply from October 1 through May 31.
- Eligible customers can get up to $600 to help pay their bill.
- If you're 60 years of age and older, you may qualify for help more often.
