Accessible. Safe. Supportive.
What is energyPLUS?
energyPLUS is a deafPLUS partnership project that helps Deaf people understand and manage their energy bills, stay safe at home, and save money.
We know that energy issues can be confusing and often not accessible to Deaf people. That’s why energyPLUS offers tailored, Deaf-aware support
to help break down barriers and make sure every home is warm, safe, and informed.
