MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) – If you have stepped outside recently, you know it is extremely hot, and with that heat, many people bump down their thermostats. This causes their AC unit to run more, which makes their power bill higher than usual.
To help combat these high bills, Mississippi Power is giving back to the community by donating $350,000 to The United Way.
The money will then be used to help people who might not be able to cover the abnormally high bills they receive during this extended period of high heat.
“We decided through our Mississippi Power Company Foundation to donate $350,000 toward United Way, who will help distribute those funds to people who really need help with their with their bills. So we’re excited about doing that,” said President and CEO of Mississippi Power, Anthony Wilson.
Wilson said this is not the only way Mississippi Power is giving back to its customers. To keep your power bill low, the utility suggests you close curtains and blinds during the day. This serves as extra insulation between your house and the heat from direct sunlight.
“We’re also going to stop any kind of disconnect. Because of high bills, we’re going to hold that until after Labor Day. So we’ll hold those and any kind of reconnect fees that might be associated with anything there. We’ll avoid those as well. So we’re trying to do anything we can to help our customers in a really unique circumstance,” said Wilson.
