OUC must rethink low-income program

In this mention

Guest commentary by Beverlye Colson Neal, president of the Orange County NAACP, criticizing OUC's proposed low-income energy assistance program as inadequate. The program would reach fewer than 1% of OUC's 72,000+ low-income customers over five years and is the weakest in Florida. Neal argues OUC should expand energy efficiency programs and remove barriers to participation, especially given Orlando's 100% renewable energy commitment by 2050.
