NEWS: Are utilities spending enough on low-income energy efficiency programs?

Nope, according to the nonprofit research group American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE). While organizations are upping their investments on these programs, ACEEE thinks it’s not enough. 

A new ACEEE report highlights a more than 14% “equity gap” in utility efficiency spending—low-income households make up nearly 28% of the population, but “efficiency programs reach those families at roughly half that rate.”
