Are there any assistance programs for low-income customers?

Yes, Peoples Gas offers several assistance programs tailored to support low-income customers. Our main initiative is the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which provides financial aid to eligible households to help with heating and cooling bills. Additionally, we offer the Share the Warmth program, which is funded by voluntary donations from customers, to assist those facing emergency energy-related financial hardships. Another resource is the Budget Payment Plan, allowing customers to spread their energy costs evenly throughout the year to ease budgeting concerns. Lastly, we partner with community-based organizations to provide energy-saving education, weatherization assistance, and utility bill payment assistance. At Peoples Gas, we prioritize helping low-income customers manage their energy expenses and creating sustainable solutions for their needs.
