Commerce developing tool to collect energy assistance program data pursuant to 19.405.120(3) RCW
Commerce has convened a technical advisory group (TAG) to support agency work on low income energy assistance program data collection. The TAG will support development of a tool to collect utility program data as required by 19.405.120(3)(b) RCW. A full scope of TAG work can be found on Commerce’s CETA rulemaking webpage. The tool will be beta tested amongst utility TAG members in the next month and data collection will start July 31 and remain open until November.
