First Energy Fuel Funds Now Available

posted 4/2/24 -- First Energy customers can now access Fuel Funds. Customers must be living at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level ($62,400 a year or $5,200 a month for a family of four in 2024).

You do not have to be disconnected or threatened with disconnection to use this program, but you must first apply for the Home Energy Assistance Program. PIPP customers are eligible.

Funds are distributed on a first come, first served basis.

To get started, apply for HEAP online at energyhelp.ohio.gov. You can also place your documents in the secure drop boxes at 936 Broadway Ave. in Lorain, at Second Baptist Church in Elyria and at the Lorain County Office on Aging’s satellite in Wellington.
