The Generation Power CT (GPCT) Emergency Energy Assistance Program, which opened on Jan. 2, has extended its deadline to apply by a day. People now have until Sunday, Jan. 11, 11:59 p.m. to apply for a one-time grant of up to $500 to help eligible Connecticut households with electric, gas, or fuel expenses. GPCT said it is extending the deadline to provide a little extra time for people to apply or finish their applications for this critical benefit.
Increasing energy costs are a challenge for many in the state, but through this program, GPCT has helped to provide families across Connecticut with secure access to heat, power, and water.
All GPCT energy programs are available to income-eligible households making up to 75% SMI gross household income. Each income-eligible household that receives a GPCT Energy Assistance Award will receive up to $500 toward a future fuel delivery or toward a past-due utility bill. For the best chance of approval, and to make full use of this once-per-12-months grant, GPCT strongly encourages households to apply for assistance when you are most in need. After the January application period, GPCT has one remaining Energy Assistance Application Cycle this season:
