“Many of the climate solutions utilities can choose to implement under the Clean Power Plan can also provide relief for these communities. For example, well-designed, affordably financed energy efficiency programs can provide the same level of comfort for families while lowering power bills and reducing the burden on our power plants,” added Amelia Shenstone of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
“It’s the folks who come to us for emergency utility bill assistance who most need help to keep their bills down,” explained Dr. Joyce Dorsey, CEO of the Fulton Atlanta Community Action Authority. “I really hope Georgia will focus on energy efficiency, to assist ‘the least of these’ as we move toward cleaner and greener energy.”
