Across the country, state energy efficiency programs are facing new scrutiny as policymakers look for ways to address rising energy bills. But will cutting or pausing these programs actually make energy more affordable, and who benefits when program budgets are reduced? In this episode of Atlas Live, Atlas’s Stephen Naimoli sits down with Mark Kresowik of ACEEE and Bryan Howard of Montgomery County, Maryland, to discuss the politics and impacts of energy efficiency program cuts, what these changes mean for households and utilities, and what other options states have to improve affordability while continuing to support long-term efficiency and resilience.
