Whether it’s a payment plan, a payment extension, or average monthly payments, SWEPCO is committed to supporting its customers during the winter months. Eligible customers in Louisiana can apply for assistance to pay their winter heating bills through the federally funded Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
Applications for winter heating assistance will be accepted from November 15 to March 15, or until funds are depleted.
Challenges with heating costs
LIHEAP is designed to assist a wide range of households facing challenges with heating costs
To apply, visit the Louisiana Housing Corporation to find an administering agency near them. Assistance is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
LIHEAP is designed to assist a wide range of households facing challenges with heating costs. While many of those receiving assistance have young children, elderly residents, veterans, or individuals with disabilities, the program is open to anyone who meets the eligibility criteria.
Facing challenges with heating bills
“LIHEAP is an essential resource for our customers during the colder months,” said Brett Mattison, SWEPCO President, adding “We encourage anyone who may be facing challenges with their heating bills to explore this program and other resources we offer to help manage seasonal expenses.”
