Energy Share begins

Raising more than $100,000 and assisting more than 350 families statewide are among goals of Energy Share of Wyoming, which kicked-off its 2016-17 season Thursday, Dec. 1.

Energy Share funding is available to pay energy bills when all other resources and assistance have been exhausted.  First priority goes to individuals and families at or above 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. Special consideration is given to senior citizens and the disabled. Energy Share provides for a one-time expenditure of up to $400 per household, and all applicants must be Wyoming residents.
