As temperatures soar, so may the energy bills of Mesa residents, but the City of Mesa extends a lifeline to those struggling to keep their cool — financially speaking. The city's Summer Electric Assistance program (SEA) is offering a break on electric costs for eligible customers, details announced in a recent press release. Qualifying residents could see a reduction of up to $56 off their electric bills during the scorching summer months.
The relief comes in the form of waived service and usage charges for the first 80 kilowatt hours, a savings estimated at around $18.50 per month for the months of July, August, and September this measure is designed to ease the burden on households with a total income below $35,088 per annum, as the city government zeroes in on the financial strains that accompany high summer temperatures. According to the City of Mesa statement, Salt River Project (SRP) customers do not qualify for this program, leaving it exclusive to Mesa Electric customers.
Hopeful participants have until May 27 to submit their application for this cost-cutting measure, but they should act now — it's a first-come, first-served program. Additional details on eligibility requirements and the application process can be accessed via the link provided in the city's announcement.
