Legislative Briefing (Jan. 25, 2022): Community Energy Efficiency Block Grant Act (HB37)

Our legislative briefing on Jan. 25, 2022, included four important issues we’re following in the 2022 NM State Legislature.

In this video, Joan Brown, osf, on behalf of on behalf of Tammy Fiebelkorn of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, discussed the Community Energy Efficiency Development (CEED) Block Grant Act, HB37.

This measure is important to improve utility affordability, reduce energy burden, and increase utility access of low-income New Mexicans. On average those living below poverty line pay 15% of their income toward energy bills alone. Bill improves quality of life, health, climate, and futures.
