Georgia Power is encouraging eligible customers to apply for its Income-Qualified Discount program, which is designed to help lower monthly energy bills for households that meet income and program requirements.

According to Georgia Power, qualifying customers can save $33.50 each month on their energy bill. That adds up to approximately $402 in savings over the course of a year.

To qualify, a household’s income must be at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Customers must also meet at least one additional eligibility requirement.

Those requirements include being 65 years of age or older, receiving Social Security Disability Insurance, receiving Supplemental Security Income, or participating in the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, also known as Section 8.

In addition to the monthly bill discount, the program offers other benefits for qualifying customers. Georgia Power says participants will not be charged reconnect fees or transfer fees, which could provide extra relief for households facing financial strain.

The program is aimed at making energy service more affordable and accessible, especially for seniors, people with disabilities, and lower-income households across the state.
