What assistance programs are available for low-income customers?

Dominion Hope Power offers various assistance programs specifically designed to support low-income customers. These programs aim to alleviate the burden of energy costs on families that may be struggling financially. One significant initiative is the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, often referred to as LIHEAP. This program provides federal assistance to help eligible low-income households cover their energy bills, especially during the winter months when heating costs can be particularly high. Additionally, Dominion Hope Power may offer other local assistance programs and partnerships with community organizations to provide support for energy efficiency upgrades. These upgrades can help reduce the overall energy consumption of a home, leading to lower utility bills over time. Additionally, there are often educational programs that inform customers about ways to conserve energy and manage their utility costs more effectively. For those seeking additional resources, it is common for power companies to have organizations they partner with to provide financial assistance or advice on energy-related matters. These organizations can help customers navigate the eligibility requirements for various assistance programs. To find the most current information on available assistance programs, customers are encouraged to visit the Dominion Hope Power website to explore resources and eligibility criteria.
