  • We will review the application and conduct a customer credit review.
  • Once approved, we will notify your ESA and your project may begin.

Step 2

Pay the loan through your monthly energy bill


After your project is approved and scheduled to move ahead, the monthly loan payment is conveniently placed on your energy bill.

You can make additional payments to your loan at any time. An administration fee of $20 is charged if your loan is paid in full during the first 6 months.
