Energy Share of Montana (Visit Site)
Energy Share of Montana is a partnership of concerned citizens, organizations and local utility companies committed to helping Montana families overcome an energy emergency and move toward self-reliance. Energy Share helps with emergency heating needs caused by situations beyond the families' control and is used as a last resort for those ineligible for other programs or still in need after other resources are exhausted. The program is funded by utility companies, Universal Systems Benefits Charges and donations from concerned consumers.
Contact or visit the CAPNM location nearest you to receive an Energy Share Application.
Energy Conservation
CAP provides information to assist eligible households in lowering their heating costs. Low cost materials such as plastic for windows, weather strip, water heater blankets, roof patch and caulking are available for "self-weatherization" projects to LIEAP eligible customers.
