Bill Payment Assistance programs

We offer two bill payment assistance programs for residential customers to help pay your electric or natural gas bills. Eligibility is based on your household income and the number of people that live in your home.

Available programsStep 1: Available programs

COVID Bill Assistance (CACAP)

The COVID Bill Assistance Program (CACAP) was created to support our customers impacted by the COVID19 pandemic. CACAP provides qualified customers with up to $2,500 in energy assistance support. By applying for CACAP we will automatically initiate an application for HELP, our other energy assistance program, which may provide you with additional financial assistance once you’ve completed your appointment with your local CAP agency. (Learn more about CACAP.)

PSE Home Energy Lifeline Program (HELP)

This provides qualified customers with bill-payment assistance beyond the Washington state LIHEAP program. HELP is for customers who are experiencing financial hardship due to circumstances not related to COVID-19.
