EPP (Electric Program for low-income households)

How it works

The county’s 2023 program narrative says EPP is designed to improve the electric efficiency of low-income households who participate in, or are eligible for, Percentage of Income Payment Plan Plus (PIPP Plus). It does this by performing in-home audits and installing appropriate electric energy efficiency measures.

What the money covers

The source does not name every measure, but it explicitly ties the work to electric efficiency improvements inside the home. The listed service category in the county packet is energy-efficiency improvements such as insulation, air sealing, and furnace repair.

Timing and current status

The county packet describes annual service targets and achieved counts, which suggests the program was operating when the packet was prepared. However, the reviewed source does not provide a standalone program page, current application window, or close date. Based on the source alone, current open status is unknown.

Why it matters for home hardening

This is not a wildfire mitigation grant. Still, it can pay for home services that improve overall resilience and may include some building-envelope work such as insulation or air sealing.
