Core values

- **Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy**: The program promotes energy efficiency and the use of clean, renewable sources of energy, reducing the need for traditionally generated electricity and natural gas, which in turn eliminates pollution and reduces greenhouse gas emissions[1][2][4].
- **Economic Benefits**: It strengthens the local economy by creating jobs, reducing energy costs for residents and businesses, and keeping dollars within the state by supporting local energy resources[1][2][4].
- **Health and Environmental Benefits**: The program reduces air pollution, which disproportionately affects low-income families and residents of color, and improves public health by reducing illnesses linked to pollution[1][2][5].
- **Social Programs**: It supports various social programs, including energy efficiency improvements for low-income homes, the Universal Service Fund, and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program[2][5].
