Avangrid debuts holiday giving progam tied to eBill service

The energy company Avangrid Inc. (NYSE: AGR) is offering customers the opportunity to participate in a holiday season giving program.

For every customer that signs up for the company’s eBill service during November and December, Avangrid subsidiaries will donate $2, up to a total of $5,000 per organization, to seven local food banks to support food security in New York, Connecticut and Maine. This maximum donation of $35,000 will provide approximately 100,000 total meals across these Avangrid service areas.

The promotion will involve the Avangrid electric and natural gas subsidiaries New York State Electric & Gas, Rochester Gas and Electric, United Illuminating, Connecticut Natural Gas, Southern Connecticut Gas and Central Maine Power.

“It’s very important to address food security needs across all of the communities we serve,” said Pedro Azagra, CEO at Orange, Connecticut-based Avangrid. “Through this promotion, we will team up with our customers to help expand access to food and be a part of the solution. Plus, our customers will also benefit from easier access to manage their account by signing up for eBill.”
