Financial Assistance-Overview 

AMP's financial assistance programs are here to help income-eligible residents receive support through discounts on monthly energy costs. We understand that during these difficult times, some of our customers may find it challenging to pay their electric bill. Learn about AMP's Energy Assistance Program (EAP) and Project EASE (Energy Assistance Through Supportive Efforts).

EAP: Provides an ongoing 25% discount on monthly energy costs for income-eligible residential customers.

Project EASE: Provides short-term emergency assistance to income-eligible residential customers.

Note: Customers who are already receiving the 25% discount under EAP do not qualify for Project EASE assistance.
