There’s still time for Minnesotans to apply for energy assistance to help cope with high winter energy bills.
Michael Schmitz with the Minnesota Department of Commerce says there was high demand for energy because of extended frigid temperatures in January. Schmitz says adding to the problem for many consumers is the fact that the overall cost of energy is on the rise…
“Home heating costs are projected to rise by over 9% this winter, adding to the financial burden for households already facing tough choices. And we believe that no one should have to choose between heat and other essentials like food or medicine.”
