Grid Modernization: Metrics Analysis (GMLC1.1) - Affordability

Abstract

The GMLC Metric Team: 1) Identified important, but often overlooked, affordability metrics that measure the impacts of electricity costs on residential customers (customer cost burden, affordability gap, and affordability headcount gap); 2) Created a public-facing website for the residential sector that compiles publicly available data and displays affordability metrics at both the state and county level; and 3) demonstrated the use of the metrics and website for three remote village utilities in Alaska and a major electricity utility in California, Southern California Edison (SCE).
