CAP (Customer Assistance Program) 

This Peoples program that offers payment plans for customers based on your income or budget, rather than how much gas you use.

How It Works

• We'll determine if you're eligible.
• You'll complete an application by phone or online.
• You'll provide proof of income by mail or fax.
• If approved, you'll start receiving a special bill based on your income instead of how much gas you use.

Dollar Energy Fund

Dollar Energy Fund grant (DEF) is funded by our customers, with a matching grant from Peoples. It provides grants to people to help with your gas bill. To be eligible for a DEF grant, you must meet the following criteria:

How It Works

• You must have applied for LIHEAP/Crisis benefits first (when open).
• Your account must be for residential service (single family or apartment).
• The name on the account must be for an adult currently living in the household.
• You must have made a good faith payment on your account within the last 90 days of applying for the grant.
• Total gross household income must be at or below the income guidelines.

Emergency Repair Program

Customers with limited incomes may be eligible for the repair or replacement of their heating system and/or gas lines under Peoples' program. Homeowners and renters may qualify.

How It Works

• We'll determine if you're eligible based on your income.
• You'll provide proof of income and home ownership.
• A professional will visit your home to review your equipment or gas line issue.
• A professional will come to your home and repair your broken equipment or damaged gas line.

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program

A federally funded, state-run grant program that makes payments directly to Peoples on your behalf. These funds do not need to be paid back. If you are experiencing a heating crisis (broken heating equipment, a utility shut-off notice), you may be eligible for additional funds through LIHEAP.

How It Works

• We'll determine if you're eligible.
• You'll read more about the information needed to apply.
• You'll apply either online, or by downloading the application and mailing it in.

Usage Reduction Program | Reduce energy costs

Our Usage Reduction Program is a weatherization program that helps customers reduce energy costs by making your home more energy efficient.

How It Works

• Your household income must meet the guidelines.
• Your gas usage must also meet the requirements.
• You must have lived in the home for at least one year.

Tips for Saving on Heat

Budget Billing

Seasonal changes in your monthly gas bill can be stressful. By signing up for Budget Billing, we'll average your monthly usage and give you a steady, affordable monthly gas bill.

Third Party Notifications

If you are ill, disabled, or away from your home for long periods of time, you may not be able to pay your bills by the due dates. Peoples Third Party Notice allows you to choose a relative, friend, clergyman, or even social service agency who is notified if you did not pay your bill or have overdue payments.
