Ohio’s electric and natural gas customers have the opportunity to use the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio's (PUCO) Special Reconnect Order (SRO)—formerly known as the Winter Reconnect Order (WRO)—from October 17, 2022 through April 14, 2023 to reconnect or to avoid disconnection of their utilities. 

The Winter Crisis Program is designed to provide qualifying households a one-time benefit during the winter months to help with reconnecting or stopping disconnection of utility service, transferring services, or obtaining new service.
