Challenge Statement

Concept%20creative%20idea%20and%20innova

"Utilities have an obligation to provide safe, affordable, reliable energy to all. We believe the time has come to expand the traditional compact in the utility sector to include clean energy and new perspectives on equity.

 

We must consider the impacts on the grid, the traditional utility business
model, and customers, especially around affordability and access. Particular attention is needed to ensure that at-risk customers share the benefits of the transition to a clean energy economy.

 

It is critically important that we get the right balance. Please join us in the Equity in the Clean Energy Economy (ECEE) Collaborative."

- Jamie Wimberly, CEO, DEFG

The ECEE Launch

This new collaborative will include a wide range of stakeholders in order to give voice to many perspectives. An ongoing stream of research will facilitate discussion.

At-Risk Customers - Their Daily Realities
