Here in Minnesota, we know the cost of living is going up, and that includes our energy bills. Families, seniors, renters, and rural communities are struggling just to keep up with the cost of keeping their lights on.
What can be done? Expand the Energy Assistance Program. This program already helps tens of thousands of Minnesotans across the state, especially in rural areas. But right now, there’s not enough funding for everyone who needs it.
Email legislators today and tell them: Pass the Energy Assistance Expansion bill.

Energy Affordability by the Numbers
The state of energy affordability in Minnesota
In Minnesota, our average electric rates and average monthly bills are lower than most of the country, and both are rising more slowly than the national average, too. However, that good news hides a deeper problem: data reported by our state’s utilities show that home energy service is unaffordable for a significant portion of Minnesotans.
