PPL Foundation doubles support for Good Neighbor Energy Fund in 2025
With many household costs on the rise, we want to do everything possible to help manage energy costs and keep monthly bills as predictable and reasonable as possible.
Because of this, the PPL Foundation has doubled our annual donation to the Good Neighbor Energy Fund from $200,000 to $400,000 in 2025.
What is the Good Neighbor Energy Fund?
The Good Neighbor Energy Fund, administered by the Lehigh Valley Community Foundation, is designed to address the growing energy cost burdens faced by our customers. The funds are distributed to households through community-based organizations across PPL Electric Utilities’ service territory. Households earning up to 300% of the federal poverty level may qualify for assistance up to $1,000.
“We recognize that rising costs of goods and services create challenges for many families and individuals, and we’re pleased to be able to provide this additional support to help them navigate financial hardships,” said Christine Martin, president of PPL Electric Utilities and an officer of the PPL Foundation. “By empowering nonprofits already on the ground with the resources they need, we’re able to get help to families faster. This program underscores the importance of partnership in addressing community challenges.”
