LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
(2)Existing law requires the commission, by December 31, 2020, to ensure that all eligible low-income electricity and gas customers are given the opportunity to participate in low-income energy efficiency programs. Existing law requires these programs to be designed to provide long-term reductions in energy consumption at the dwelling unit, and authorizes the programs to include improved insulation, energy efficient appliances, measures that utilize solar energy, and other improvements to the physical structure.
This bill would require the entities administering the programs to also consider the reductions to greenhouse gas emissions and benefits to air quality that may result from facilitating customer fuel switching that will not increase the average energy costs to a program’s participants.
