Need help paying cooling bills in Wake County?
*** 7/1/2020: Funding is now available. Please follow the directions below to apply for assistance by mail/fax/email. ***
Notice: Many service providers are suspending disconnections due to COVID-19. Contact your vendor to see what their current disconnection policy is.
CIP is available July 1 until June 30, or until funds are exhausted. CIP is a program that provides assistance to low-income families who are experiencing or in danger of experiencing a heating- or cooling-related emergency. A household is in a crisis if it is currently experiencing or is in danger of experiencing a life-threatening or health-related emergency, and sufficient, timely and appropriate assistance is not available from any other source.
Heating season begins in October, determined as the weather changes, as the program begins providing assistance for the primary heating source (electricity, natural gas, propane, wood, etc.) for eligible residents.
Currently the requirement to apply for CIP in person is waived. Please see the instructions at the top of this page on how to apply. Applications can be accepted when a past due or final notice has been received*, when your power is already disconnected, or to establish new service. *** Disconnection notices are no longer required but the customer must have a past due balance.
*If a resident has an extension, they can not apply until the extension has expired and a final notice issued.
Due to COVID-19, your completed application can be mailed, dropped off, emailed or faxed.
If you need to have an application mailed to you, please email your request to hs.energy@wakegov.com or call 919-212-7000 to make your request.
