Wednesday, April 25, 2007 · 3:30 PM - 5:10 PM
Ratepayer funded bill payment assistance programs offer subsidies to low-income customers to make their energy bills more affordable. Utilities and states have coordinated bill assistance programs with energy efficiency programs, in an effort to reduce costs to other ratepayers or to further increase energy affordability. Explore different models for payment assistance programs, discover how energy efficiency programs can reduce ratepayer subsidies, and investigate evidence from evaluations on these interactions.
By attending this session, participants will
- Understand how energy efficiency programs can reduce bill payment program subsidies
- Learn how different models for bill payment assistance programs have different implications for the impact of energy efficiency programs
- Hear what evaluations have found about the impacts of energy efficiency on bill payment subsidies
