Oregon Energy Assistance (OEA)The purpose of the OEA program is to prevent Pacific Power disconnects and to serve additional Pacific Power residential customers not served by the Federal Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). This program provides heating and utility assistance, energy education, and referral to other services. Assistance is permitted one-time per household during each federal fiscal year. To be eligible for the program, a household must be a current residential customer of Pacific Power and the total household income must be at or below 60% of the Average Statewide Median Income. Assistance must prevent a disconnection of Pacific Power services or, if additional funds are available, the household must not have received services from the LIHEAP program. If eligible, a client must schedule an appointment with a service coordinator. Documentation needed to prove eligibility is: proof of all monies received in the 30 days prior to the date of appointment; social security numbers and birthdates of all household members; most recent utility billing; and if their heat is included in the rent, a letter of verification from the landlord.
