Help When You Really Need to Save Energy

This year, MG&E has contributed in a large way to the Weatherization Assistance Programs of the two social service agencies serving our communities. This means there are added funds available to help our customers save their energy dollars when they need it most.

More and more of our residential customers qualify for fuel assistance in the economic times. If you do and your home is not as energy efficient as it could be, you can also get help weatherizing and even repairing or replacing failing heating systems. Now, with MG&E added funding, more of our customers can get the help they need to really save energy and money. If you live in Middleborough, call the South Shore Community Action Council at 508-746-6707. If you live in Lakeville, call Citizens for Citizens at 508-679-0041.
