The Maine Public Utilities Commission has voted to increase the statewide Low-Income Assistance Plan by 20 percent.

The plan is designed to make electric bills more affordable for qualified low-income consumers. Consumers who qualify for Maine's LIHEAP program also qualify for participation in the electricity plan.

The increase will take the plan from $5,790,221 to $6,966,317, beginning Oct. 1. During the 2004-2005 program year, 23,161 electric utility customers participated in the plan.
