Bill help available for customers through LIHEAP

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (Nov. 12, 2024) - Federal grants for PPL Electric Utilities customers are now available. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides grants to help customers with their winter energy bills or to avoid heating emergencies. LIHEAP is open and accepting applications through April 2025. Customers are encouraged to apply early while funds are available. Both homeowners and renters are eligible, and they don't need to have a past-due balance to apply.

"With costs increasing for many of our daily necessities and the colder winter temperatures setting in, we understand our customers may be facing financial struggles," said Melinda Stumpf, director of Customer Programs at PPL Electric Utilities. "We want to help our customers stay comfortable throughout this season."
