Are there any financial assistance programs for low-income customers?

Mississippi Power offers several financial assistance programs aimed at helping low-income customers manage their energy bills. One such program is the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, commonly referred to as LIHEAP. This initiative is designed to assist eligible households with their energy costs, particularly during extreme weather conditions. The funds can help cover a portion of the bill, ensuring that families have access to necessary energy services. In addition to LIHEAP, Mississippi Power may participate in other local initiatives through partnerships with community organizations. These initiatives often provide additional resources, such as weatherization assistance or emergency funds to help customers who are struggling to pay their bills. Each program has specific eligibility requirements and application processes. It is also beneficial for customers to explore additional resources, such as local community action agencies or non-profit organizations that may offer assistance. Additionally, there are resources available on the Mississippi Power website that can provide information about various programs and assistance options for low-income customers. This can be a valuable tool for anyone seeking help with energy-related expenses.
