Manage Your Energy Bills Efficiently: Payment Plans, Usage Alerts, and More!
When the Tampa Bay Rays emerge victorious this season, it's not just a win for the team, but also for the people of Florida. Duke Energy pledges to contribute $1,000 to its Share the Light Fund for each regular-season game the Rays conquer. This fund serves as a vital lifeline for Floridians struggling to cover utility expenses like electricity, gas, oil, or wood.
The Share the Light Fund operates as a customer assistance initiative, supported by contributions from Duke Energy employees, retirees, customers, and shareholders. Additionally, the Duke Energy Foundation matches these donations dollar for dollar, up to $500,000. Melissa Seixas, Duke Energy Florida's state president, emphasizes the significance of this collaborative effort in aiding families and individuals in need, especially during challenging times.
Every month, the funds collected are distributed to various United Way chapters and social service agencies across Florida, catering to Duke Energy customers based on their specific needs. Last year alone, approximately $1.2 million was allocated to assist qualifying Florida residents with their energy bills through the Share the Light Fund.
Furthermore, Duke Energy offers a range of programs and resources to empower customers in managing their energy consumption effectively and saving money. These initiatives include:
