Who We Are
Assistance may be available to qualified individuals experiencing a financial crisis and unable to pay their energy bills during the heating and cooling seasons. For heating assistance, EnergyShare helps pay for any type of home heating, including electricity, oil, natural or propane gas and kerosene. For the cooling season, EnergyShare only pays for Dominion Power bills. Some restrictions may apply.
EnergyShare is a year round crisis program of Dominion Energy. EnergyShare is not income-based so any customer in crisis is eligible to apply. Individuals and families who are struggling financially may apply for assistance once per season. Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine eligibility. Individuals 60 and older are eligible for additional assistance. Applicants for the Dominion Energy, Energy Assistance Program must complete the application and the intake form in full providing all requested information.
EnergyShare funds are distributed by United Community.
Senior Cool Care is a public-private partnership sponsored by Dominion Energy and administered by the Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) that helps low-income older citizens in Virginia keep cool during summer months. This program may provide a fan or one free single-room air conditioner to elderly Virginians who live within Dominion Energy’s service area and who meet eligibility requirements. Local Area Agencies on Aging administer Senior Cool Care by screening applicants and distributing the fan or air conditioner.
