There is already a program for low income customers. This sounds like an alteration to the current system. I live in a senior mobile home park where many of the residents qualify for this program. Some of the ones I talk to say their electric bill is $20-30 a month. Our household income is not low enough to qualify for this program. We have had electric bills that are over $400 for one month.

Hopefully this program will mean more of a sliding scale instead of an income cut-off amount that greatly lowers rates for some and does nothing for those who are just over the threshold.

What's strange is this is the first I have heard about this program and I am a total newshound. Any way, I hope it helps us, at least a little.
