We understand. There are times in everyone’s lives when they need help from others. If you are having trouble paying your utility bill, we can help.

If you are seeking help between November 1 and April 30, the first step is to submit an application to the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, or LEAP. Please click on the LEAP button above to learn about the LEAP guidelines and to download an application. Each year, Energy Outreach Colorado donates millions of dollars to LEAP to help qualifying families receive help paying their energy bills.

If you are seeking help between May 1 and October 31, or if you do not qualify for federal assistance under the LEAP program or have already received LEAP and need help again, then you can seek help directly from Energy Outreach Colorado on a year-round basis. To qualify for our funds, you must owe a past-due balance on your utility bill. We provide millions of dollars in assistance funds to a Charitable Energy Network of more than 138 emergency assistance sites across the state. Please click on the Charitable Energy Network button above to read about this network and find the agency best suited to assist you.

If you are interested in learning about a home weatherization program that provides no-cost energy audits and energy efficient upgrades to households that meet the income guidelines, please click on the Weatherization Assistance button above. This service is offered in cooperation with the Governor’s Energy Office and Xcel Energy.

We’re here to help all Coloradans afford home energy.
