Are there any discounts or programs available for low-income customers?

Yes, Seattle City Light offers various discounts and programs for low-income customers. The Utility Discount Program (UDP) is specifically designed to assist qualifying households with their electricity bills by providing a 60% discount on electricity and a 50% discount on the water, sewage, and garbage bills. Additionally, eligible customers are also exempted from the City Light portion of their bill through the Low-Income Rate Assistance (LIRA) program. Income-eligible customers can also benefit from the Weatherization Assistance Program, which helps make homes more energy-efficient at no cost.
