DISCUSSION:
Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, (Oncor) has developed a Targeted Low Income Weatherization
Program that provides assistance to its low income customers for energy efficiency measures. Frontier
Associates, LLC, has been engaged by Oncor to assist with delivery of energy efficiency services and to
administer the program on its behalf.
The primary objective of the program is to achieve a cost effective reduction of energy use in the homes of
eligible families. To qualify, the family's income must be less than 200 percent of the Federal poverty level,
and they must be a customer of Oncor. Services include attic insulation, weather stripping, caulking,
eligible equipment repair and/or replacement and other minor repairs. The City is eligible to participate in
the program as a service provider.
The City has operated similar programs since 1982 under the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
funded by the Department of Energy and the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program through the
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs on a grant basis. Current year target under this City
program is approximately 150 homes. The proposed Low Income Weatherization Program grant from
Oncor will provide supplemental funding to the existing program to provide a greater scope of services
within the spending limits of the program or to provide services to units otherwise not receiving assistance.
The program is available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
