Customer Assistance Expos

Customer Assistance Expos are in-person events where customers can get information about payment plans and assistance programs. Rhode Island Energy employees and representatives from other agencies will be onsite to answer your questions and discuss support options.

  • Supplemental Security Income/SSI
  • Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program/SNAP
  • Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program/LIHEAP

If you don’t have a confirmation letter, you can bring a qualification card from the Rhode Island Department of Human Services.
