TEP HEERO Program Helps Keep Neighbors Cool | Tucson News

Tucson Electric Power customers are rallying to help neighbors stay cool through the HEERO program, where bill round-ups fund energy assistance—this year helping 120 families cover $81,000 in bills. Averaging $685 per person, aid is usually annual but available for extreme hardship cases, like a disabled mom of four whose $700 bill was wiped clean. TEP will match customer donations up to $50,000 until October to boost funds as temps climb. Plus, TEP offers Lifeline ($20/month discount) and Power AZ ($640 max coverage) for qualifying households.
