Save Money on Your Minnesota Power Bills!

The electric bill can be a budget-buster when you’re surviving on a low income. Fortunately, your power company can usually help. There are several unknown or little-advertised programs that power companies may offer. These can help lower the cost of your power bill.

Most power companies offer a budget billing plan. This plan averages the annual cost of electricity in a home and bills the customer in 12 even installments. This can help low-income customers maintain a budget and avert payment problems, especially during the more expensive winter months.

Some companies even offer free energy-efficiency improvements (including free LED light bulbs!) and moratoriums that prevent your power from being shut off during the winter.

Just click the link below to find out what discounts, rebates and other money-saving programs are offered by YOUR local utility company!

Connexus Energy

About Nicole Thelin

I hate being broke - and I always have too much month at the end of my money. As a journalist, I decided it was time to use my skills to investigate ways that my family (and yours) could thrive despite our less-than-ideal incomes... and that's how Low Income Relief started.
.
As of 2020, I have over 20 years of published writing experience (and I'm only 32!). I have worked as a novelist, journalist, ghostwriter and content creator for my entire professional life. My work has been featured in USA Today, eHow.com, Livestrong, Legal Beagle, the Daily Herald (Provo, Utah) and many other publications.

Any programs for Minnesota Power in Minnesota. I’m on SSI and have food stamps and I have limited income and anything would help.
