Utility Discount Program

The Utility Discount Program (UDP) offers eligible customers a 60% discount on their Seattle City Light bill and a 50% discount on their Seattle Public Utilities bill. In response to the COVID-19 Civil Emergency, a UDP (https://www.seattle.gov/humanservices/services-and-programs/affordability-and-livability/utility-discount-program) online enrollment form has been created for income-eligible customers. This allows income-eligible residential customers to access heavily discounted utilities by simply signing a short form that attests to their household income, rather than having to provide income documentation.
