Last month, Holyoke Gas & Electric's Commission approved an extra 10% prompt payment discount on energy services billed during the December cycle. This discount applies to commercial and residential gas and electric customers who are not already participating in an economic development discount program*.
“The holidays are a special time to reflect on what makes Holyoke such a strong community,” said HG&E Commission Chairman Fran Hoey. “We hope this extra discount brings a bit of relief and cheer to our customers as we celebrate the season together.”
For the average homeowner who heats with natural gas, the combined discounts (prompt payment and holiday discount) amount to savings of approximately $80 on their bill.HG&E has implemented a holiday discount each year since 1992.
For customers who are looking to conserve energy and save money this winter, HG&E has a variety of resources that can assist customers who are facing financial hardship, including payment plans, energy efficiency programs, and connections to fuel assistance programs.

Bills must be paid by discount date to receive discounts.
