Clean Energy Advisory Board

The Clean Energy Advisory Board is established as an advisory board in the executive branch of state government. The purpose of the Board is to establish a pilot program for disbursing loans or rebates for the installation of solar energy infrastructure in low-income and moderate-income households through the "Low-to-Moderate Income Solar Loan and Rebate Fund". 

 The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy provides a Low-Income Energy Affordability Data Tool (LEAD) designed to help create better energy strategies and programs by improving their understanding of low income housing and energy characteristics.
