Oct 1, 2021 | 11:27 AM

DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Minnesota is expanding the number of households that qualify for its Energy Assistance Program.

The changes announced by the Department of Commerce make over 600,000 Minnesota households income-eligible for the program beginning, Friday.

The Energy Assistance Program helps households pay for current and past-due heating bills says Kendra Lund with MUHUBE-OTWA,”It can help households pay energy bills, get reconnected and prevent power disconnections as well as help with repair and replacement of homeowners broken heating systems.”

Minnesota’s Cold Weather Rule takes effect Friday, 15 days earlier than before. The rule protects enrolled customers from having power or gas shut off.
