Fall is officially here, temperatures are falling like the beautiful tree leaves. With colder temperatures, homes are chilly prompting the use of space heaters and furnaces to keep warm. Utilizing these appliances may result in increased consumption of electricity.

Beginning Monday, November 1, 2021, and running through March 31, 2022 assistance is available for income-eligible residents. The federally funded, Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), is available to help offset the cost with a one-time benefit of up to $750 applied directly to your utility bill.

Cleveland Public Power is re-introducing Budget Billing to residential customers as an opportunity to spread costs over a year. With many customers seeking a way to effectively budget, this is a tool that will provide a level of stability.

How Does It Work

As days get shorter, streetlights become an essential tool in neighborhoods. These lights not only illuminate neighborhoods, but they provide safe, efficient lighting for pedestrians, and drivers.

This outdoor lighting source was upgraded in 2019 as part of Mayor Frank G. Jackson’s Safe Smart CLE program.
These new lights provide residents and visitors with clear images and well-lit pathways.

If you see streetlights out, call 621-LITE (5483) to report the outage to our 24-hour automated system.
 

Cleveland Public Power (CPP) will host its 14th Annual Public Power Week celebration virtually October 3-9. Along with 2,000 other community-powered, not-for-profit electric utilities that collectively provide electricity to 49 million Americans we will demonstrate the vital role we play in our communities.

CPP has chosen the virtual world for its celebration due to the continued rise in coronavirus cases, and because those most impacted are young people who play a big role in our annual celebrations.

As summer comes to a close, many are still dealing with high electric bills from the hot, humid days of summer. Help is available throughout September.

For income-eligible residents there’s a federally funded program, Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP), to help offset the cost with a one-time benefit applied directly to your utility bill.  This program runs until the end of September.
