Forgiveness Program (AMP)
Rhode Island EnergyGet your payments back on track
If you’ve recently faced a financial hardship and are struggling to make payments, we can help.
Program eligibility requirements
The Forgiveness Program, also known as the Arrearage Management Program (AMP), is available to customers on income-eligible discount rates who have a balance of at least $300 that is more than 60 days past due. To enroll in AMP, you must also be approved for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). If you meet these requirements, you may qualify for this payment plan.
Forgiveness Program details
Once you enroll, you’ll pay your balance in a series of installments. If you make your payments on time, a portion of your past-due amount will be forgiven, up to $1,500 per year. Please note that if your service was shut off for non-payment, you’ll be required to make a down payment. No down payment is required if your service is still active.
For more information or to enroll in the Forgiveness Program, call 1-855-743-1104.
