Austin Monitor, December 3, 2015: Committee backs low-income energy savings ideas
“Low-income Austin Energy customers may receive some additional help in lowering their bills in coming years, based on a recommendation that a City Council committee made on Thursday. The Austin Energy Utility Oversight Committee, which consists of the full Council but does not take official action, recommended directing city staff at a future Council meeting to draft an implementation plan for more than half of the ideas put forward by a volunteer task force dealing with issues faced by low-income utility customers.”
