Energy Efficiency and Low Income Communities in the Clean Power Plan: A Billion Dollar Deal

ACEEE's Lauren Ross and Sara Hayes provide an overview on energy efficiency, low-income communities, and the Clean Power Plan. They discuss how the Clean Power Plan could mean over a billion dollars in investment for low-income communities, and they discuss ways in which communities can leverage opportunities in the Clean Power Plan to improve housing and services. This includes what types of energy efficiency projects and policies could count towards state compliance and how these programs are currently being implemented across the country. The webinar concludes with a discussion of ways advocates can ensure that the interests of low-income communities are represented in EPA's rules and state plans.
