Aug. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In
the aftermath of Hurricane Isaias, Dynegy is here to help. The
company today announced a $10,000
donation to provide critical energy assistance for low income

"We understand that Isaias arrived in the shadow of a pandemic,
adding yet another burden to the most economically vulnerable,"
said Brad Watson, senior director of
community affairs for Dynegy. "For decades, Dynegy has served
communities throughout the Northeast, and our commitment continues.
As cities and towns work through the aftermath of this storm,
Dynegy is here to help households struggling to pay their energy
bills."
The $10,000 donation will directly
assist residents in temporary crisis who are struggling to pay
their energy bills.
- $5,000 will go to The Good
Neighbor Energy Fund, operated by the Salvation Army of
Massachusetts.
- $5,000 will go to the Fuel Fund
of Maryland to help 40 low income
families with utility bill payment assistance.
"With more people forced to stay, work and learn from home,
energy consumption is at its peak and the Fuel Fund of Maryland is seeing an increase in applications
for utility assistance," said Debbie
Brown, Fuel Fund of Maryland director. "The generosity of
Dynegy will allow us to provide assistance to dozens of low income
households struggling to pay their utility bill during the COVID-19

struggling with both the summer temperatures and the economic
uncertainty as the colder months approach," said Douglas Ferguson, director of corporate and
foundation relations for The Salvation Army – Massachusetts.
