How it Works

The Matching Payment Program (MPP) can lower the amount you owe on energy bills. For every dollar you pay and every dollar you receive from the the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP), we will subtract a dollar from the amount you owe.

You may apply for energy assistance from CEAP to get a bigger match at ct.gov/heatinghelp or through your local Community Action Agency (CAA).

Find your local CAA at 211ct.org or call 211.
