Energy Assistance Program Services

Maryland Energy Assistance Program

Maryland Energy Assistance Program (MEAP) assists with home heating bills. Payments are made directly to utility companies to provide relief to customers.

Electric Universal Service Program

Electric Universal Service Program (EUSP) provides financial assistance with current and past-due electric and gas bills. Customers will also receive referrals for energy efficiency measures to reduce future electric bills.

Utility Service Protection Program

Utility Service Protection Program (USPP) allows MEAP eligible households to enter into a year-round, even monthly payment program with their utility company. The monthly payments are determined using the estimated cost of the customer’s average utility usage minus the MEAP benefit.
