The Low-Income Energy Policy Board (LIEP Board) was formed after the Commission's directive to establish an advisory committee (Case No. U-20757 order) to guide and coordinate the work of the Energy Affordability and Accessibility Collaborative (EAAC) and Energy Waste Reduction Low-Income Workgroup (EWR-LI). It broadens participation of historically marginalized communities and coordinates efforts with the Governor's task forces to develop cohesive policies across state agencies. The LIEP Board functions to cross-pollinate policy and provide coordination, communication, decision making, and planning that is informed by the work of the EAAC and EWR-LI subcommittees.
The purpose of the LIEP Board is to guide the process of assessing energy affordability and accessibility holistically, especially through linking energy waste reduction services and energy assistance programs. It does this by focusing on three policy pillars including: Customer Centered Engagement & Coordination, Affordability & Customer Protections, and Low-Income Energy Waste Reduction With an overarching goal of reducing the number of households with unsustainable energy burdens, the LIEP Board has embraced the following values:
Low-Income Energy Policy Summit
The Commission also approved a low-energy policy summit which was held November 3, 2022. To encourage additional stakeholder input into these strategies, the MPSC held virtual report-out sessions on January 17 and 19, 2023. Thank you to those who provided comments and feedback.
