About Us
Many people in Michigan struggle to pay their heat and energy bills. Cold comes fast when warmth can’t be found. emPower™ wants to keep you warm. We work with you to find ways to afford paying those bills. Get help with electric, natural gas, propane, wood, pellets, fuel oil, coal and other fuels through emPower.
For 2021-2022, emPower™ provided 7,623 households with direct assistance payments. We also enrolled 4,994 households into Consumers Energy’s CARE Program, DTE Energy’s LSP Program, SEMCO Energy’s MAP program, UPPCO’s EASE Program and Great Lakes Energy’s Pathway Program.
emPower™ served households in all 83 Michigan counties in 2021-2022. More than $11.5 million in direct-assistance payments were made through emPower to 206 utility and energy providers in Michigan.
