Equity Subcommittee

Purpose

To support equity in energy efficiency portfolios, as referenced in 2022-2025 EE Plan Stipulated Agreements. SAG Equity Subcommittee meetings will be held jointly with the Income Qualified (IQ) North EE Committee and IQ South EE Committee. Meetings will include an opportunity for SAG and IQ EE Committee participants to coordinate on discussion of energy efficiency efforts related to equity.

Background

Several of the 2022-2025 EE Plan Stipulated Agreements between individual utilities and non-financially interested stakeholders reference discussing a variety of topics related to equity, diverse contractor hiring, and progress on the utilities’ Market Development Initiatives in a new SAG Subcommittee. The first meeting of the Equity Subcommittee was held in June 2022. Meetings are scheduled on an as-needed basis.

Participation

Open to all interested participants, except for topics that may involve a financial conflict of interest (such as discussing a Request for Proposal). Contact the SAG Facilitator to join the Equity Subcommittee distribution list.
