Dominion Power Low Income Weatherization Program
Since 2011, Dominion North Carolina Power has been administering a low income weatherization program to qualifying customers in its North Carolina service area who are 200% of the federal poverty level in single family homes. This is the same as the state’s low income criteria. In addition, they have recently received approval to launch a new phase, expanding our low income program to also include elderly on fixed incomes (250% of the federal poverty level), as well as additional home types such as multifamily, mobile homes and manufactured housing. In addition to a customized report, the improvements include items such as attic insulation, LED lighting, low-flow showerheads, pipe insulation wrap, and faucet aerators. In the new program Dominion will be working closely with its implementation vendor to work with the state social service agencies / weatherization providers to provide these improvements to qualifying customers.
