Project Pal
Many co-op members struggle to make ends meet on the islands, even when times are good. For this reason, and especially to help in times of difficulty, Project Pal was created as a way for Co-op members to help each other to pay their electric bills during the heating season (November – April).
Pal is funded by voluntary donations: members helping members. It’s easy to apply for a grant online. Eligible households can get one PAL grant each year to help when bills are at their highest.
OPALCO offers energy assistance to its members when they are challenged to pay their electric bills. Energy Assist provides a bill credit every month based on household size. Members apply online and must re-enroll each April.
