Are there resources available for energy assistance for those in need?

Yes, there are indeed resources available for energy assistance for individuals and families in need. Georgia Power understands that there are times when customers may face financial challenges, and they have programs in place to help. One of the main resources is the Georgia Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, commonly referred to as LIHEAP. This program can assist eligible households with their heating and cooling costs, offering financial aid to help cover these essential expenses. The income guidelines for this program are set to ensure assistance reaches those who need it most, usually focusing on low-income households, the elderly, and residents with disabilities. In addition to LIHEAP, Georgia Power offers various payment assistance programs, including flexible payment arrangements and budget billing options that can help customers manage their monthly utility bills more effectively. Local community organizations and non-profits often partner with Georgia Power to provide additional support and resources, so it may be useful to explore local programs that may be available in specific areas. For the most accurate and up-to-date information about these resources, customers are encouraged to visit the Georgia Power website, where they can find detailed descriptions of available assistance programs and eligibility requirements.
