About Energy Share of Wyoming
Energy Share of Wyoming was started in by a small group of utilities. The program was created in response to a growing need to help individuals and families that were falling through the cracks of traditional assistance programs. Through seed money donated by the founding utilities – Montana-Dakota Utilities, Pacific Power (now Rocky Mountain Power) and Northern Gas of Wyoming (now SourceGas) ? Has this changed again? We might have to ask – the program was born. A partnership was formed with the Salvation Army to review applications and assess eligibility, and donations were solicited from utility customers. Members of the board of directors, which is comprised of volunteers from utilities and the media, were committed to ensuring that ESW operates with minimal overhead so the monies raised would go to helping the hard-working people of Wyoming. A commitment that still stands today. Energy Share continues to operate with an all-volunteer board and all operating expenses are paid with corporate donations. True to our Wyoming roots that are grounded in self-reliance and the philosophy that neighbors help each other, utility customers throughout the state continue to donate money to help those in need. In addition, sponsoring utilities and organizations are committed to helping their customers during tough times by donating money and services to Energy Share of Wyoming.
