RE: Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) Comments on Focus on Energy Quadrennial Planning Process IV – Underserved Customers (Docket 5-FE-104) Introduction

Box 7854 Madison, WI 53707-7854 RE: Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (MEEA) Comments on Focus on Energy Quadrennial Planning Process IV – Underserved Customers (Docket 5-FE-104) Introduction Thank you for the opportunity to submit comments in response to the fourth Quadrennial Planning Process for the Focus on Energy Program. [...] MEEA seeks an achievable pathway for all people and communities in the Midwest to receive the economic, environmental and societal benefits of energy efficiency. [...] We are pleased that program administrators want to do more to better serve these priority populations and believe many of the described key performance indicators (KPIs) are logical steps toward improving the outreach and uptake of Focus programs. [...] This work is challenging, but we support the addition of a KPI around these efforts to further incentivize program administrators to dedicate the time and resources to this work, which can at times be deprioritized with incentives only structured around energy savings. [...] While MEEA does have stances on these topics, we ultimately are here to help Wisconsin and its program administrators in their efforts to improve programmatic infrastructure for the Focus on Energy program in Quad IV and beyond.
