Privacy Policy | About Our Ads

Starting today through June 30, Hawaiian Electric customers in need may apply for a one-time credit to reduce their energy bills under the Hawaiʽi Home Energy Assistance Program, or H-HEAP.
H-HEAP Energy Credit applications are taken annually only during the month of June by Honolulu Community Action Program, Maui Economic Opportunity and Hawaiʻi County Economic Opportunity Council – agents of the Hawaiʻi Department of Human Services’ H-HEAP administration. For more information, go to hawaiianelectric.com/hheap.
The agencies also process H-HEAP Energy Crisis Intervention, or ECI, applications for households facing service disconnection. ECI applications are accepted year-round, but a limited number of approvals are granted each month.
H-HEAP provides qualifying lower-income households with a one-time credit on their electric bills to help pay for energy costs. Applicants may be eligible if at least one household member receives Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, TANF; Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, or Supplemental Security Income benefits, SSI.

The amount of credit awarded to qualifying applicants varies each year based on factors including income level, total number of people per eligible household and available funds.
