6.5 Conservation for Affordable Housing Summary
The Conservation for Affordable Housing program area has been a priority for the Companies
since the initial creation of our EEC Program principles. Our goal of creating programs that are
accessible to all has already been achieved through the launch of our Energy Saving Kit
program and the REnEW program in 2010. In the coming years, with energy prices generally
increasing, the program area will become even more important. In 2011, the anticipated
partnership with BC Hydro on the Energy Conservation Assistance program will see greatly
expanded investment and a deeper level of savings for our low income customers. In 2011, the
Companies will also be working with government to explore alternatives to TRC evaluation,
and/or additional methods of measuring success of programs that serve our low income
customers to ensure we can continue to create programs that achieve deep energy savings
within the low income segment of BC.
