Electric Partnership Program (EPP)

A free in-home electric audit that can replace inefficient refrigerators and freezers and install energy-saving measures for PIPP-eligible households.

Information last reviewed July 2026

What it is

The Electric Partnership Program (EPP) improves the electric efficiency of low-income households by performing free in-home audits and installing appropriate electric energy-efficiency measures.

The program can replace refrigerators and freezers that are energy inefficient and install energy-saving items like efficient light bulbs — permanently lowering your monthly bill rather than just helping with one payment.

Good to know

  • If you’re not eligible for PIPP Plus you may still be able to apply for EPP through a separate application — ask us.
  • If you have a shut-off notice, apply for Emergency HEAP at the same time.
  • CEI customers may qualify under slightly easier rules (3 months residency, no PIPP requirement).

How Gesher helps

Our staff are trained in EPP application processing and have direct access to the state system. One appointment with us can cover HEAP, PIPP and EPP together.
