The IOU TKO Resource Hub
A set of resources to support intervention in utility proceedings.
Mission
The mission of EEP is to ensure BIPOC, lower-income and frontline environmental justice communities have the power to determine their energy futures and secure an equitable share of benefits from the clean energy transition.
Vision
Our vision is a world in which there are no energy shutoffs and all people have community-controlled, affordable, reliable, clean energy.
What is Energy Equity?
Energy equity recognizes the historical and cumulative burdens of energy system borne by frontline and low income communities. To eliminate these disparities, energy equity centers the voices of frontline communities in energy planning and decision making and ensures the fair distribution of clean energy benefits and ownership.
