If you are behind on power or shut off:

  • Contact RPC's LiHeap Program 217-384-1226, select option 1

If you receive a denial from any of the above programs and are a resident of Urbana, contact Cunningham Township at (217) 384-4144. Please have a copy of your bill and denial ready. 


It is always a good idea to call the utility company and negotiate a payment plan:
