Utilities Assistance

If your household is at risk of losing electricity due to a disconnect notice or is already disconnected, you may qualify for assistance.

• Eligibility: Assistance availability depends on program rules, eligibility criteria, and the availability of flexible funds. You may qualify if your gross income for the last 30 days is below the 200% guideline for your household size
• Payment Arrangements:  After assistance has been determined, you'll need to set up a payment arrangement with your power company.
• Energy Assistance Program: SEVCA can also assist you in applying for the Energy Assistance Program, which offers a 25% discount on power usage. First-time applicants may even be eligible for forgiveness of past-due payments.
• GMP Power Partners Program: Do you have an electric disconnect? If so, you may be eligible for Green Mountain Power’s Power Partners program. To access this program call GMP before the first date of disconnect and ask if you are eligible for Power Partners. If you are eligible you can avoid disconnection by making a payment of one-quarter of the overdue balance before the first date of disconnect.
