Save Money on Your Missouri Power Bill!

UPDATED - by on

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 that can help lower the cost of your power bill.

Most power companies offer a budget billing plan, which 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!), free weatherization upgrades and even payment assistance programs!

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

  11. Laclede Electric Company Hartville)isn’t on your list, I do know they have the budget billing. And Ozark Action does help with bills until the funding runs out. And there are times when it runs out and can’t help. Would you be able to research free light bulbs., free energy efficient appliance? Thank you so much

  13. I live in the city limits of Cabool Missouri 65689 and you didn’t have our electric company listed so I wondered what help I might get with my electric bill. I am 60 years old and I live alone. By my income I would definitely be eligible for EBT, though I haven’t applied for it yet.
