LIPA Customers Hit With Shockingly High Electricity Bills


Electric bills are out for Sandy victims on Long Island and they are causing a stir.

Those bills are bringing yet another round of pain for people whose utilities were flooded in the hurricane.

Turns out the STEP (Sheltering and Temporary Essential Power) program that rescued Sandy victims with quick fixes installed the only option — electric heaters.

Sandy victims are being given a reduced rate, but bills are still a jolt.

Nassau County administered the STEP program through FEMA and it was hailed by homeowners.

County Officials said they’re working with LIPA and the state to try come up with energy grants or a lower rate for Sandy victims who simply cannot afford another crippling expense.
