SUMMARY:ACEEE's - How High Are Household Energy Burdens? Report Findings and Policy Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nNew research from ACEEE shows that low-income households\, as well as Black\, Hispanic\, and Native American households\, pay a disproportionally larger share of their income on energy bills as compared to the average household. As the pandemic and recession continue to strain family budgets and exacerbate existing inequalities\, policies to ensure that families are able to access affordable energy remain vital. \nACEEE’s new report\, How High Are Household Energy Burdens: An Assessment of National and Metropolitan Energy Burdens Across the United States examines how energy burdens—the percent of income spent on energy bills—differ nationally\, regionally\, and in 25 metro areas. The report explores burdens by demographic groups and building types\, such as low-income\, Black\, Hispanic\, Native American\, older adults\, renters\, older buildings\, and affordable multifamily households. Many families with high energy burdens live in older\, inefficient housing with older appliances and heating and cooling systems that waste energy. The report explores strategies to improve and expand low-income energy efficiency and weatherization programs as a way to address high energy burdens. \nThe webinar will include an overview of the report findings and recommendations\, as well as additional speakers who will provide examples of how states and cities are enacting policies and programs to lower high energy burdens and achieve more affordable energy in their communities. \nSpeakers\nAriel Drehobl\, Moderator\nSenior Research Associate\, Local Policy\nAmerican Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy \nAlon Abramsom\nProgram Manager\nPhiladelphia Energy Authority \nMichael DiRamio\nAssistant Director of Energy Affordability and Equity\nNYSERDA \nDaphany Rose Sanchez\nExecutive Director\nKinetic Communities Consulting \nClick here to register \n
