What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires investor-owned electric and natural gas utilities to fund

statewide energy efficiency and renewable resources programs, known as Focus on

Energy. This bill requires that Focus on Energy includes programs that promote

energy efficiency and renewable energy measures for low-income households and

that address the energy needs and decrease the energy burden of low-income

households. The bill also requires utilities to coordinate these energy efficiency and

renewable energy measures for low-income households with the weatherization

assistance program administered by the Department of Administration. Under the

bill, the Public Service Commission must ensure that not less than 25 percent of the

moneys that utilities must spend to fund Focus on Energy is spent annually on these

programs for low-income households.
