This program aims to help low-income households, many of whom struggle with high electricity costs and are identified as "ALICE" (asset limited, income constrained, employed) or living in poverty, to afford their home energy bills. The working group will include representatives from various state departments, electric utilities, legislative committees, and Hawaii Energy, and is expected to report its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature and Governor by early 2023.
