Last updated: September 2025
If your power, heat, propane, or water is at risk, move fast. This guide shows what works in Wyoming right now, with plain‑language steps, direct phone numbers, and live links to apply.
If You Only Do 3 Things — Emergency Actions to Take
- Call your utility and set a same‑day payment plan: Ask for a “payment arrangement,” “medical extension,” and all late fees waived. Use customer care lines for Rocky Mountain Power 1-888-221-7070, Black Hills Energy 1-888-890-5554, and Enbridge Gas (natural gas) 1-800-323-5517, and if you’re on a city water system call your city utility like Cheyenne BOPU 1-307-637-6460 or Casper Utilities 1-307-235-8400. Tell them you have kids and need time to pay. (rockymountainpower.net)
- Apply for LIEAP crisis help right away: Use the Wyoming Low Income Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) portal and call 1-800-246-4221 for crisis fuel fills, disconnection notices, or a broken furnace. Priority households opened September 2 and general applications open October 1 for the 2025‑2026 season. Crisis help starts October 1 and moves fast for heat‑loss emergencies. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Call Wyoming 211 to find same‑day local help: Dial 211 or 1-888-425-7138, or text your ZIP to 898211 to reach Wyoming 211. Ask for “utility assistance same‑day,” and request referrals to your county’s Interfaith, Salvation Army, and energy charities. (wyoming211.org)
Quick Help Box — Numbers and Links to Keep Handy
- LIEAP customer support: 1-800-246-4221 — apply online at Wyoming LIEAP, use the application portal, and subscribe to state updates. (dfs.wyo.gov)

How to Stop a Utility Shutoff in Wyoming Today
When a shutoff notice lands, time matters. Wyoming rules give you specific rights and steps.
- Ask for a written payment arrangement and medical extension: If someone in the home has a serious health condition, ask your doctor for a note and request a medical extension with your utility’s customer care. Black Hills Energy has a Medical Extension, Rocky Mountain Power supports medical needs and extra notifications, and Enbridge Gas can set arrangements. (blackhillsenergy.com)
- Use Wyoming’s disconnection protections: Regulated utilities must follow PSC rules, including notice periods and winter/health safeguards. PSC rules say utilities cannot disconnect for nonpayment when the 48‑hour forecast is below 32°F and the customer is actively seeking help or can only pay in installments. They also must reconnect “as soon as practicable” after you meet terms. If a utility won’t work with you, call the PSC or file a complaint. (casetext.com)
- Document everything: Keep your shutoff notice, names of reps you spoke with, dates, and any doctor letters. If needed, call the PSC complaint line 1-888-570-9905 and the Office of Consumer Advocate 1-307-777-5744 for backup if the utility is regulated. (psc.wyo.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work: Apply for LIEAP crisis right away, call Wyoming 211 for same‑day local aid, and ask about charity funds like Energy Share of Wyoming. If you still face shutoff, file with the PSC and ask your doctor to re‑issue the medical certification. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Wyoming LIEAP (energy bill help) — 2025–2026 Season Essentials
LIEAP is the state’s main fuel‑bill program. It pays your heating vendor directly and can help in a crisis.
- Season window: Priority households (seniors 60+, disabled, kids 5 and under) opened September 2, 2025. All other households open October 1, 2025. Applications are accepted into spring 2026, with crisis benefits opening October 1. Apply online only this season through the state portal. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- What LIEAP covers: Seasonal help pays part of your primary heating fuel (natural gas, electricity for primary heat, propane, wood, pellets, heating oil, or coal). Unregulated fuels are payable starting October 1; regulated heat like natural gas and electric heat begin November 1. Crisis can pay deposits, tank sets/fills, and shutoff notices. Furnace repair/replacement is possible for owner‑occupied homes during heat loss emergencies. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Income limit: Up to 60% of Wyoming’s State Median Income (SMI). Check the portal for current thresholds before you apply. In March 2025 press and state notices referenced a 4‑person limit near $67,041 for that season; always verify the new year’s published SMI. (sheridanwyoming.com)
- How long it takes: Non‑emergency LIEAP applications are processed within 45 days if your packet is complete. Heat‑loss emergencies get action within 18 business hours. Payments post to your vendor starting November 1 for regulated fuels. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- How much help: For FY2025 in Wyoming, the LIHEAP Clearinghouse reported seasonal heating benefits ranging roughly from 49minimumto49 minimum to 2,176 maximum, with winter crisis up to 550andweatherizationupto550 and weatherization up to 12,000. Amounts vary by fuel type, usage, family size, and funding. Call to confirm current levels for 2025–2026. (liheapch.acf.hhs.gov)

How to apply for LIEAP — step by step
- Gather documents: Photo IDs, Social Security cards, proof of Wyoming address, proof of all income, your current heat bill or fuel ticket, rent info if you rent, and any shutoff or low‑fuel notices.
- Create an online account: Use the state LIEAP portal. If homebound or without a computer, call 1-800-246-4221 for assisted application.
- Complete the application fully: Upload all required files. For crisis, upload the shutoff/tank notice dated within 30 days. For heat‑loss, call 1-800-246-4221 after submitting.
- Watch your portal messages: Respond quickly to any “missing info” requests to avoid delays.
- Tell your vendor: Notify your utility/fuel vendor that you applied and ask for a hold on shutoff while LIEAP is pending.
Application help: call LIEAP support 1-800-246-4221, email lieapinfo@wyo.gov, or visit your local DFS office. (dfs.wyo.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work: Ask LIEAP for supervisor review if you get stuck, then email the program manager as listed on the state site. Call Wyoming 211 for local fuel funds, and ask your utility about short‑term arrangements while LIEAP finishes. (dfs.wyo.gov)
Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) — Cut Bills for Good
The Weatherization Assistance Program upgrades your home at no cost so your monthly bills drop for years.
- How it helps: Insulation, air sealing, and safety checks; typical savings of 5–25% on heating costs. If you’re approved for LIEAP, you’re automatically considered for WAP. Apply year‑round using the same LIEAP portal. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Who does the work: In most counties, Wyoming Weatherization Services handles jobs, and in the northeast Council of Community Services covers several counties. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Funding outlook: The U.S. Department of Energy issued 2025 WAP notices and allocations this year; programs stay active, but timelines can vary. Confirm local waitlists. (energy.gov)

Use the city’s utility customer service at 1-307-235-8400 (Option 2) to request payment arrangements, and see the city’s Payment Assistance page listing Interfaith, Salvation Army, and other help. Pair with Interfaith of Natrona County and Wyoming Rescue Mission if you need meals or shelter during a crisis. (casperwy.gov)
What to do if this doesn’t work: Call Wyoming 211 and ask for churches with one‑time utility funds; let the city know you’re waiting on LIEAP or charity decisions and request a hold. (wyoming211.org)

Diverse Communities — Tailored Tips and Contacts
- LGBTQ+ Single Mothers: Ask your utility for privacy settings and third‑party notifications so safety issues don’t risk service. Use Wyoming 211 to find LGBTQ+‑affirming support, ask Rocky Mountain Power about language access and alerts, and check USAC Lifeline to lower your phone bill so you can take care calls. TTY and ADA accommodations are available through the PSC. (wyoming211.org)
- Single Mothers with Disabilities or Disabled Children: Ask your doctor for a letter certifying medical risk and request a “medical extension” with Black Hills Energy, and extra notifications from Rocky Mountain Power. Use the Wyoming Aging & Disability Resource Center via 211 for home‑based aid and accessibility services. (blackhillsenergy.com)
- Veteran Single Mothers: Combine utility relief with housing counseling via HUD WY, reach out to Wyoming 211 for local supports, and consider VA programs while your LIEAP is pending. If a regulated utility won’t work with you, call the PSC complaint line. (hud.gov)
- Immigrant/Refugee Single Moms: LIEAP requires proof of eligible status for some household members, but mixed‑status families can still qualify based on eligible members’ income and costs. For language help, ask Rocky Mountain Power about communications in 300 languages and use Wyoming 211 for interpretation referrals. The PSC can also assist with complaint intake. (rockymountainpower.net)
- Tribal‑Specific Resources (Wind River): Households on the reservation can apply through tribal LIHEAPs — Northern Arapaho DSS 1-307-332-6228 x139 and Eastern Shoshone Golden Pathways 1-307-332-8052. State resources like Wyoming LIEAP and WAP also serve eligible tribal members off‑reservation. (acf.gov)
- Rural Single Moms with Limited Access: Ask for paper applications support through LIEAP call center if you lack internet, request phone‑based identity checks, and lean on Wyoming 211 for the closest assistance site. Ask MDU and Enbridge Gas to add a trusted third party to your account so notices aren’t missed due to mail delays. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Single Fathers: Most programs are household‑based. Dads with full custody apply the same way. Use LIEAP, WAP, and Wyoming 211 referrals exactly as outlined here. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Language Access: Ask your utility for free interpreter services. Rocky Mountain Power lists Spanish support at 1-888-225-2611. The PSC offers ADA‑compliant formats, and Wyoming 211 provides language help and text access. (rockymountainpower.net)
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Missing the season: Waiting until January means longer lines and less money left. Apply at the first date posted on LIEAP and keep your portal login handy. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Sending an incomplete packet: Missing pay stubs or a clear fuel bill can delay approval up to 45 days. Upload every required document in the portal and respond to messages quickly. Use the LIEAP hotline for help. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Assuming LIEAP pays all utilities: If your main heat is gas, LIEAP will not pay your electric “lights only” bill. Plan a payment arrangement with Rocky Mountain Power or Black Hills Energy while LIEAP covers heat. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Not asking for a medical extension: If your child relies on medical equipment or you have a high‑risk pregnancy, ask for a medical hold with your utility. See Black Hills Medical Extension and Rocky Mountain Power medical supports. (blackhillsenergy.com)
Reality Check — Funding, Timelines, and Rates
- Funding ebbs and flows: LIEAP funding is federal and seasonal. In Wyoming, FY2025 funding and rules were still active through spring 2025, and the 2025–26 season opens fall 2025 with online‑only applications. Always apply early and confirm dates. (k2radio.com)
- Processing time is real: The state notes 45 days for non‑crisis. Heat‑loss emergencies are handled within 18 business hours, but you must call after applying. Utilities often need to see your portal status to hold a shutoff. (dfs.wyo.gov)
- Utility prices can change: Regulated companies adjust rates through PSC dockets. If a large increase hits your budget, you can submit a public comment and ask for payment plan flexibility. Start with the PSC site and your utility’s “bill help” page. (psc.wyo.gov)
