Con Edison Disconnect Notice? EnergyShare May Put Up to $300 Toward the Bill
EnergyShare is an emergency bill-assistance fund for eligible Con Edison residential customers facing disconnection.
Who
Qualifying Con Edison residential customers with an active disconnect notice who meet current financial-assistance/HEAP-related eligibility and payment-history rules.
Where: Con Edison residential service territory in New York City and Westchester
What to do
Start here: Use Con Edison’s financial-assistance page and contact the EnergyShare administrator listed there to apply while funds are available.
Eligibility: Current Con Edison criteria include an active disconnect notice, at least one good-faith payment toward the bill in the prior 12 months, and eligibility for government financial assistance and/or HEAP income guidelines.
What you get
The program provides a grant credited toward an eligible customer’s Con Edison bill and is administered through community assistance partners.
Benefit: Up to $300 toward the Con Edison bill annually per EnergyShare season under the current program rules.
Possible value: Up to $300 in direct bill assistance for an approved household.
Good to know
Important: EnergyShare is limited emergency assistance, not a recurring monthly discount. Funding and seasonal availability can be limited, and the account must meet the current disconnect/payment criteria.
Availability: Active; seasonal/limited-fund assistance.
Why people miss it: Customers often know HEAP but not the separate utility-sponsored emergency fund.
