Pacific Power is offering a variety of ways to help households that may be struggling to pay electric bills. Customers can work out a plan to spread payments over a longer period, change the date their bill is due, or opt for a plan that averages bill payments throughout the year.

Pacific Power also can direct customers to agencies that can provide cash assistance with paying energy bills.

Customers are encouraged to contact the utility at the first sign they may not be able to pay their bills, while it is still easier to manage the situation.
