The application window for PPL Electric Utilities customers seeking federal assistance to help with their electric bills has been extended through May 8.

The federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides grants to households to help with home heating bills or to pay off past-due balances to prevent a shut-off. Customers who meet income guidelines should apply as soon as possible. Importantly, customers don’t need to have a past-due balance to apply for a cash grant.

“We understand some customers may be facing financial struggles,” said Rodman Moore, Director of Customer Programs at PPL Electric Utilities. “That’s why we offer many programs and tools to help customers manage their energy costs and save money. LIHEAP is a great option to help make their bills as affordable as possible.”

Since the start of the 2025-2026 LIHEAP season, more than 18,800 customers have already received over $6.5 million from LIHEAP.

LIHEAP offers up to $2,000 in grants to help homeowners and renters with heating bills. Learn more and find out if you’re eligible at pplelectric.com/liheap.
