Due to the recent cold weather and resulting higher electric utility bills, the City of Tallahassee announced the launching of the\u00a0Weather Relief Assistance Program (WRAP).<\/p>\n

The city press release notes that \u201cJanuary has been one of the coldest in decades in Tallahassee, with multiple rounds of freezing weather, including 10 nights where temperatures fell below 32\u00b0F in the area, according to the National Weather Service. Prolonged cold increases the amount of energy used to heat homes, which will result in higher-than-normal utility bills.\u201d<\/p>\n

WRAP will allow eligible residential electric, water or natural gas customers to choose one peak winter utility bill and spread that balance evenly over the next\u00a0four utility bills, when usage is typically lower. WRAP applies to bill statements issued between\u00a0January 1 and February 28, 2026, and is limited to\u00a0one WRAP deferment per account. The deferred balance will show on a customer\u2019s utility bill as a payment plan, with the amount divided into four monthly payments. <\/p>\n
