Ways We Support our Customers and Communities

On March 14, Liberty Utilities suspended service disconnections due to non-payment. This decision was made in order to support our customers experiencing financial difficulty during the COVID-19 crisis. In connection to this decision, we also waived late fees on customer accounts.

In addition to these actions directly impacting our customers, Liberty donated food, money and supplies to vital organizations in our local communities who are serving our friends and neighbors during these difficult days. Some of these agencies are working directly to assist those impacted by providing help with utility payments.

Disconnections and Late Fee Update

As our state moves toward re-opening businesses and resuming normal operations, we have extended our suspension of disconnections for nonpayment until further notice. In doing so we are concerned that some customers may accrue a large unpaid balance that could be difficult to pay when collection activities resume. Here are some important things you should know:

• Our primary goal is to work with you to avoid unmanageable bills, service disconnection or additional fees.
• We have expanded our Special Payment Arrangement (SPA) programs to allow for additional time to spread out past due balances and make payments more manageable.
• We are monitoring various agencies who may be able to provide financial assistance for some portion of your bill so call us to learn more.
• Our representatives stand ready to help develop a plan that works best for you but it is critical you call us as soon as possible at 1-800-544-4944 to make arrangements for your account before bills become unmanageable. Once we resume disconnections, we expect our call volume to increase significantly. This may result in longer wait times. Thank you in advance for your patience.

These are uniquely challenging days in our community and our hearts go out to those who have been impacted directly by this health crisis, especially those who have lost loved ones.

We are honored and humbled to be your natural gas supplier and we look forward to safely and reliably supplying your needs for many years to come. Stay safe and stay healthy.

MARCH 18, 2020: Energy Efficiency Program Changes

The Massachusetts Program Administrators are committed to providing our customers with outstanding energy efficiency services. We work diligently to help our State achieve climate and energy goals. While energy reductions achieved by the energy efficiency programs help improve long-term public health, the emerging COVID-19 pandemic concerns facing our communities must take precedence.

The Governor of Massachusetts has declared a state of emergency and governments, schools, businesses and citizens are all taking action to limit interaction and spread of the virus. Due to this serious and quickly evolving situation we must announce significant impacts to multiple elements of the 2020 Energy Efficiency programs.

Suspension of In-Home and On-Premise Visits

The Program Administrators regret to inform our business partners that – after careful consideration and consultation with the Department of Energy Resources (“DOER”), the Attorney General’s Office, and the Low-Income Weatherization and Fuel Assistance Program Network – we plan to temporarily suspend program offerings that require on-premise contact with our contracted vendors and customers. All visits must be canceled starting Wednesday, March 18, through at least April 6, 2020. We will communicate a confirmed date to commence on-premise services when we know more. We are also creating an FAQ page www.masssave.com/covid19 that we will constantly update as the situation develops.

During the temporary suspension of on-premise services, the Program Administrators plan to continue all other energy efficiency services, including online audits, upstream offerings, retail rebates, active demand, and non-direct install C&I incentive projects.

We realize the toll these changes will have on your business and our customers, but we must put safety first. We are open to your ideas and suggestions as to how we can work collaboratively during this time while still respecting these important safety measures. We will continue to work closely with our state and local partners and promptly update the FAQ page as we know more.

It is our sincere hope that all of our business partners can quickly and safely adapt to this temporary suspension. Please reach out to your Program Administrator contacts if you have questions about specific projects. We are your partners and we are here for you.=

Sincerely,

The Massachusetts Program Administrators

MARCH 14, 2020: Liberty Utilities suspends service disconnections for residential and business customers in response to COVID-19

To assist customers and communities during the rapidly evolving COVID-19 public health emergency, Liberty Utilities has suspended service disconnections for non-payment. This temporary suspension, through at least May 1, 2020, includes residential and business customers.

We encourage customers who have questions or who may be facing potential hardship to contact our customer service departments. We offer a variety of payment options and can assist customers with payment arrangements should they be needed.

“We recognize our customers count on the essential services Liberty provides,” said Brent Baker, Liberty Utilities Vice President of Customer Experience Operations. ” With the uncertainty surrounding this virus, we want to ensure our customers have access to the services they need to help maintain their health and safety. “

Liberty continues to actively monitor the situation, and our teams are taking all necessary measures to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of services to our customers.

MARCH 13, 2020 At Liberty Utilities, delivering electricity, gas, and water safely and reliably to our customers is always our primary goal. With the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation, we wanted to provide you with an update on the actions we’re taking across our company to protect the health and safety of our customers and employees and to help ensure that the communities we serve can continue to count on the critical services we provide.

Supporting the health and safety of our employees

• We have a pandemic preparedness plan in place and have established a task force that is working with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This task force has spent several weeks preparing for how the virus might impact our organization and the communities we serve, and how to respond appropriately.
• We continue to monitor the situation and actively share updates and information with our employees so that they can keep themselves and their families safe.
• We have provided additional protective supplies and equipment to our frontline employees. We have limited employee travel, limited in-person meetings, and postponed larger gatherings and events.
• To prevent the spread of the virus, we’re encouraging anyone who feels sick or has concerns regarding potential exposure to stay at home.

Protecting our customers

• Customers may notice our customer service representatives and field team wearing gloves and additional protective equipment. You may also notice changes in how we greet customers in our contact centers and on service appointments, including social distancing of at least 6 feet. We hope you understand that this is for both customer and employee protection.
• While our customer walk-in centers remain open to serve you, to practice social distancing, we encourage our customers to utilize our other payment methods available on our website, and to call us with questions at 1-800-544-4944.
