Electric Assistance Program
The Electric Assistance Program provides qualifying PSNH
customers with a discount on their monthly electric
bill. The discount is based on the household gross
income and type of space heating used in the home.
Applications are taken year round for the Electric
Assistance Program.
Neighbor Helping Neighbor
This program provides funds for utility energy
assistance (electric or natural gas) to needy
individuals who are experiencing hardships, have
disconnects pending, and are ineligible for help from
the Fuel Assistance Program. (This non-profit charitable
funding is generously supported by corporate matching
contributions from customers and employees of Unitil/Concord
Electron, Keyspan, Unitil/Exeter & Hampton Electric,
Granite State Electric, Northern Utilities, Natural Gas,
and Public Service of New Hampshire.)
Senior Energy Assistance
Program
The Senior Energy Assistance Program (SEAS) provides
energy assistance funds in an amount of up to $270 per
elderly household for individuals, 60 years of age or
older, who are over income under the low-income Home
Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program secures
and maintains maximum independence and dignity in a home
environment for elderly individuals capable of self-care
with appropriate supportive services.
