Pennsylvania State Public Funds for Rate Assistance

Under electric and gas restructuring legislation all electric and gas utilities are required to offer universal service programs, to include Customer Assistance Programs (CAPs), and to continue pre-restructuring low income programs. Most electric utilities expanded their CAPs in their 1999 restructuring plans or subsequent settlements. See utility restructuring updates.
