Milwaukee – We Energies is urging customers who are behind on their energy bills to reach out as soon as possible to avoid disconnection. The state’s residential disconnection moratorium expires April 15.
If a customer establishes and maintains a payment plan, they are not at risk for disconnection.
We Energies works with customers year-round to offer payment plans and help with energy assistance.
Disconnection is always a last resort
If you are behind on your bill, go to we-energies.com or use the We Energies app to set up payment arrangements and connect with financial and energy assistance options. You can also call 800-842-4565.
To help customers in greatest need, We Energies donated $4 million to the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund this winter. This program provides direct financial assistance to help qualifying customers pay their utility bill.
Significant federal assistance is also available. The State of Wisconsin has as much as $145 million in low-income heating assistance this heating season.
