UI customers to receive monthly credit to help pay electric bill

(WFSB) - United Illuminating customers are about to see some financial help as they face increasing electric bills.

All UI customers will receive a 10-dollar credit on their monthly bills from January to April as a result of UI’s clean energy investments.

Those already on financial hardship with UI, will automatically receive a 24-dollar monthly credit, from January to June.

It’s part of a low-income discount program.

For those that think they may qualify for financial hardship, UI said to contact them or any community action agencies to apply.

The company is also giving $3.3 million to Operation Fuel.
