Mar 31, 2021 No Comments

The Utilities Assistance Programme is an initiative of the Ministry of Public Utilities which provides assistance to low income utility customers to ensure their continued access to basic utilities.

THE UTILITY BILL ASSISTANCE extends assistance through the payment of utility bills to qualified customers of T&TEC and WASA.

  • T&TEC SUBSIDY: T&TEC customers benefit from an electricity subsidy of up to $200 per bill or a maximum of $1200 annually. The Electricity subsidy is applied bi-monthly to the customer’s T&TEC bill to coincide with the billing cycle.
  • WASA SUBSIDY: WASA customers who are A2 customers will receive an annual water subsidy of $140 while A3 and A4 customers will receive a subsidy of $200.

The UAP has three components: –

  1. the UTILITY BILL ASSISTANCE
  2. the WATER TANK ASSISTANCE
  3. the SOLAR PANEL ASSISTANCE.
