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

Seattle City Light offers several programs and discounts aimed at assisting low-income customers in managing their utility expenses. One of the primary initiatives is the Utility Discount Program, which provides a significant reduction in monthly bills for eligible households. To qualify for this program, applicants typically need to provide documentation proving their income falls below a certain threshold, which is adjusted based on the size of a household. In addition to the Utility Discount Program, Seattle City Light may also provide energy-saving assistance through weatherization programs. These programs help low-income residents make their homes more energy efficient, which can lead to lower energy costs over time. This includes potential free assessments of the home’s energy use and the installation of energy-efficient appliances or insulation, depending on the specific needs of the household. Furthermore, customers may find opportunities for financial assistance through local community organizations or non-profits that partner with Seattle City Light to provide additional support. It is always advisable for individuals seeking help to check the current web page for the most up-to-date information on these programs, including eligibility requirements and application processes.
