CARE Program Offers two discount options for customers: Flat Discount: A monthly $20 discount for customers who qualify for Minnesota Power’s Residential Service Income- and Usage-Qualified Discount or Minnesota’s Energy Assistance Program (EAP), who are also of senior age or living with a disability, will be automatically enrolled. Customers must apply and qualify for EAP in order to keep their CARE discount for more than one year. Affordability Discount: This discount requires a quick one-page application. Funds are limited and are offered first-come first-served. Discount applies if customers spend more than 3% of their annual income on electric bills.
