Upcoming Webinar: “Meeting the Needs of Low-Income Households”

With residential electricity rates rising in many parts of the country, more and more consumers are struggling to pay their electric bills. Low-income households, who already experience significantly higher energy burdens, are being hit especially hard by these affordability challenges.

During this webinar on Tuesday, November 18 at 1 p.m. (ET), SECC’s Deputy Director Jason McGrade will share the key findings from the “Meeting the Needs of Low-Income Households” paper, which explored the electricity attitudes, priorities and concerns of low-income consumers.

After the research briefing, Amy Jewel, Vice President, Programs at Elevate, and Sarah Wochele, Equity Analyst & Advocate with the Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board (CUB), will respond to the research findings and highlight initiatives that can help address the needs of lower-income Americans.

Featured speakers:

• Jason McGrade, Deputy Director, Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative
• Amy Jewel, Vice President, Programs, Elevate
• Sarah Wochele, Equity Analyst & Advocate, Oregon Citizens’ Utility Board
