Best Kept Secrets – Medical Baseline

Discover a Best Kept Secret!

A powerful ratepayer assistance program is available to help customers with their utility bills, if they have a medical reason, but few know about it and are enrolled!

Medical Baseline supports those who depend on power for certain medical needs, whether that is physical equipment or environmental controls. Medical Baseline is not based on income; qualifications are based solely on medical need.

Medical Baseline provides an additional monthly allotment of energy at the lowest price on your current rate and provides more alerts prior to a Safety Power Shutoff. There are no income eligibility requirements; the program is based solely on medical need. You will need a doctor's verification, but no check-up or examination.
