Benefiting Our Own in our Service Territory
The BOOST Program was established to decrease the energy cost burden within our communities by providing financial assistance to eligible income-qualified households for MPE bills. Effective February 1, 2025, it will run as a pilot program for 18 months.
Mountain Family Center is partnering with MPE to administer the income-qualification application process.
To apply or to find out more about the application process, please contact Mountain Family Center at 970-557-3186 or by visiting their offices at 480 E. Agate Ave. in Granby from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Thursday, and from 9 a.m. – noon on Fridays.
Eligible members will receive a 20% discount on their total current bill. Participants will be encouraged to enroll in MPE’s prepay program to assist them in managing their energy costs. If participants sign up for prepay, they will receive an additional 5% discount, bringing the total discount to 25%.
Participants will also be provided with educational materials and contact information for energy audits, weatherization, and rebates.
