Low-Income Panel Discussion Featuring Austin Energy, SMUD and Entergy
Date: Wednesday, August 31st
Time: 2 – 3 PM ET
**Please note: this webinar is complimentary.**
Due to COVID-related financial problems and inflation, among other factors, the need for utilities to have a greater focus on their vulnerable or at-risk customers has intensified. While the low-income population continues to increase, federal funding is decreasing, and utilities have found that low-income programs are more important than ever. This webinar features a panel discussion with utilities who are currently trailblazing low-income initiatives: Austin Energy, SMUD, and Entergy who recently announced $10 million for bill payment assistance. Attend this webinar to learn how utilities’ low-income programs are helping customers deal with mounting utility debt and how you can develop and implement similar programs within your utility.
