Energy Assistance Programs

The Energy Assistance Program (EAP) helps eligible households pay heating and electric costs through a one-time annual benefit paid directly to the utility provider. The program may also assist households that are disconnected or at risk of disconnection. EAP is federally funded through the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and may be available even if utilities are included in rent.

Summer Moratorium:
KV REMC may not terminate residential electric service on any day for which the National Weather Service has forecast, within the next 48 hours, a heat index of at least 95 degrees Fahrenheit for the member’s sevice area, for any member who is eligible for and has applied for LIHEAP assistance under IC 4-4-33 during the current calendar year.
