Consumers Energy says the company is increasing spending to connect income-qualified customers with energy-saving programs by $22 million by 2030.
These programs will soon represent at least 25% of the money Consumers Energy invests in communities to make Michigan homes more energy efficient. That’s part of a four-year plan to reduce energy waste for all customers.
Lauren Snyder, Consumers Energy’s chief growth and customer officer says in a news release, quote, “We see and understand many of our friends and neighbors face challenges when it comes to their monthly bills. We know we can make a difference by providing our expertise to lower those bills with home energy upgrades” end quote.
To get involved with the income-qualified programs, Consumers says customers should go through their “Helping Neighbors Program”.It connects residents with cost-saving home energy assessments to kick things off.
They’re also promoting assistance for customers, especially for the CARE program. The two-year payment program provides forgiveness for past bills and shut-off protection for those who qualify.
