PUD “Share the Light” program boosts benefit
EPHRATA — Grant PUD’s “Share the Light” program has increased its energy assistance benefit from $300 to $500 per household for families and individuals facing financial hardship.
The programhelps qualifying customers reduce past-due balances and avoid disruptions to electrical service. The utility district also offers a 20% discount rate for income-eligible residential customers for year-round savings.
Customers can explore both programs and qualifying requirements online or call the PUD customer service department at 509-766-2505 for help with bills and ways to reduce power consumption.
The district also accepts monetary donations to support the Share the Light program. Donors can make contributions when paying their power bill or by calling customer service.
The benefit increase is part of a broader update to the district’s customer service policy, which also clarifies language on the PUD’s budget-pay billing program, how late-payment charges accrue, and when after-hours fees apply for service callouts.
