​ACTION TAKEN
Provided best practice information and comments in “Working Case to Consider Policies to Improve Electric Utility Regulation” (EW-2016-0313) and proposed for consideration in Ameren and KCPL/GMO MEEIA Cycle 2 collaboratives. DE recommended, and electric and natural gas utilities investigated, offering on-bill financing programs. Ameren and Empire produced studies of on-bill financing and DE provided an on-bill financing seminar to share insights about successful program designs, as well as to review less successful models and utility RFP constraints.
