Union Power understands the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on many households and businesses in our community may last for months to come, and we remain committed to helping those who need it. As your electric cooperative, we care about our members and want to do all we can to help make the transition back to normal operating procedures as easy as possible.
Union Power has always been dedicated to helping members manage their energy use and this effort is more important now than ever as many continue to feel the impacts of the pandemic. We continually encourage members to take advantage of our free and easy-to-use energy resources to help manage their energy use and discover ways to lower their energy bills. Visit the Energy Center at union-power.com to learn more!
As another resource, we have compiled a list of local assistance agencies that may be able to provide financial assistance.
All County Department of Social Services offers utility payment assistance through the federally funded Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP) program and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services’ Crisis Intervention Program (CIP). Please contact your County’s Department of Social Services for more information about these programs.
