ELECTRIC
UNIVERSAL
SERVICE PROGRAM
(EUSP)
The Electric Universal Service Program provides financial assistance with electric bills. Eligible electric customers may receive help to pay current electric bills or past due electric bills and referrals for energy efficiency measures to reduce future electric bills.
FUEL FUND (OHEP)
Helping families pay their energy bill to keep them safe, warm, cool and their homes well lit, is the purpose of the Fuel Fund. Seniors and people with disabilities existing on fixed incomes, families and individuals barely eeking out a living earning the minimum wage and people faced with job losses or medical emergencies are just a few of those served through the Fuel Fund.
UTILITY SERVICE
PROTECTION
PROGRAM (USPP)
Low income families facing utility cut-offs can benefit through the USPP program. This program allows MEAP eligible households to enter into a year-round even monthly payment program with their utility company. An even monthly payment plan is derived by using the estimated cost of the customer’s average annual utility usage minus the MEAP benefit.
