With spring in full swing and the Cold Weather Rule set to expire on Sunday, Xcel Energy is encouraging customers to apply for help with their bills.

Minnesotans looking for help with their utility bills can get a little extra assistance after a cold snap earlier this month sent much of the country into unseasonably low temperatures.

As the weather begins to turn cold a non-profit organization has a way to help you stay warm during the chilling months.

Minnesota is getting another $7 million in federal aid to help low-income customers pay their heating bills. The aid comes from the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. It's in addition to the $143 million in federal funds already received by the state, bringing the total allocation for the current heating season to about $150 million.
