Energy Alabama and GASP submitted comments to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to encourage changes to the Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP), part of the Clean Power Plan. Specifically Energy Alabama and GASP requested EPA more equitably define what constitutes a low income community, to use existing measurement and verification methods at use in the market, and to not retire emission rate credits (ERCs). We both believe these changes will provide more opportunities for energy efficiency and renewable energy benefits to accrue directly to low income families, the original goal of CEIP.
