Bill Payment Assistance Program
Bill Payment Assistance provides emergency financial assistance with past-due energy bills for income-qualified Colorado residents
throughout the year. Energy Outreach Colorado does not accept applications directly but works with partners on the local level to administer the program, including intake and processing applications, determining eligibility, and authorizing bill payments.
