“A commitment to continue providing energy efficiency opportunities to customers in an equitable manner, including identifying underserved customers and providing resources available to help lower utility bills, by collaborating with community partners throughout its service territory via the MDI, providing interested stakeholders, including the Parties, a demonstration of the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission (“CCRPC”) tool and host twice a year workshops to review and discuss program activity data in the CCRPC tool, with room for feedback on how the tool is designed and used. Ameren also commits to using this tool and other methods, when possible, to report on EE participation data by zip code or census tract disaggregated by program and service territory, to help illustrate the demographics of program participants across the Company’s service territory. Additional metrics around equitable participation will be discussed and considered via the SAG and with the goal of it being included in an update to the Policy Manual to be filed with the Commission, by Commission Staff, by December 1, 2022.”
