UTIL 3

PA's Low Income Utility Programs

Pennsylvania’s sixteen major electric and natural gas utilities spent over $27 million dollars on Low-Income Usage Reduction Programs (LIURP) in 2003. Managers from FirstEnergy, PECO, and PPL will describe their LIURP programs, explain the rational for their design parameters, and share program results. Program goals, customer targeting, weatherization measures provided, consumer education procedures, service delivery contractors, data collection and management, quality control procedures, evaluations conducted, and processes for program refinement experiences will be shared. Participants will be encouraged to share opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of the different models.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Understand the many different elements, models, and ways to implement LIURP programs

2. Identify how a particular design of an element can be beneficial, depending on how it relates to other program parameters and constraints

Keywords: weatherization, low income, program design, program results, consumer education, data collection, quality control, evaluation
