Background
As part of Post-2011-Review, BPA agreed to convene a low income energy efficiency workgroup. The structure was largely undefined by the Post-2011 Review workgroup’s(Workgroup 3) recommendation. BPA agreed to convene meetings quarterly. The workgroup provided a list of challenges and opportunities to serve as a starting point.
Mission: The Northwest Public Power Regional Low-income Energy Efficiency Work Group aims to share information and develop best practices in order to increase low income residents’ access to and uptake of energy efficiency services across the Northwest.
Objectives
• Provide venue for utilities, advocates, and other organizations to come together.
• Increase knowledge of CAP and utility business activities.
• Find simple solutions to streamlining reporting between organizations (CAPs, utilities)
• Identify barriers and solutions to increasing low income access to EE programs.
