On behalf of 350 New Hampshire, Researcher Jordan Burt, PhD, Senior Researcher Tanya Stasio, PhD, Assistant Researcher Elisabeth Seliga, and Principal Economist Elizabeth A. Stanton, PhD, prepared a report that assesses disparities in energy burden across New Hampshire’s households. AEC’s analysis found that, on average, low-income household in New Hampshire spend 7 percent of their income on energy costs compared to just 3 percent for non-low-income households. In addition, AEC finds that low-income renters faced higher energy burdens on average than non-low-income renters. Informed by these findings and based on a review of existing energy programs across the country, AEC makes six recommendations to reduce energy bills and improve access to clean energy for low-income and renter households in New Hampshire.
