Your Questions Answered

Am I eligible to receive energy assistance?

Households are eligible for energy assistance when their total gross income is 70 percent or less than the statewide median income as determined by the State of Oregon. Please note that this allows for a higher income than other energy assistance programs. See the chart below to determine if you qualify.

How do I apply for energy assistance?

Oregon Energy Fund distributes funds for energy assistance to 30+ partner agencies and nonprofits throughout Oregon. This model allows us to reach the widest number of Oregonians possible. If you are in need of utility assistance, please select your county from the drop-down menu above to see which of our partners are in your area and how to contact them. You can also call our office at 971-386-2124 for more information. Please note that our office does not provide direct assistance at this time.

How is the payment made?

Payments are made directly to your fuel vendor (electric, oil, propane, wood or gas). The entire process can take up to three to six weeks, so if you're behind on your energy bill, don't wait for a shut off notice - act now.

How early can I apply? Do I need a shutoff notice?

We encourage you to apply for energy assistance as early as possible. While some agencies do require a shutoff notice to receive assistance, don't wait until then to act. It is extremely difficult to schedule an appointment last minute - demand is very high and funding is limited. Shutoffs also incur additional fees beyond what you already owe, which can make it more difficult to receive the amount you need. Utility companies are also more likely to give leeway to customers who are behind on their bills if they've already started applying for energy assistance.

My electricity has been shut off. What do I do?

If your power has been disconnected, your utility company will likely require a down payment in order to turn the power back on. We recommend that you contact your utility provider ASAP to find out the amount due; you will need this information when applying for energy assistance.

How else can I save on my home energy bill?

There are many ways to save electricity, including weatherization assistance programs, energy efficient appliances, and simply lowering your home thermostat. Click here for our list of energy-saving tips.
