Easy to Convert

FAIRBANKS-House Bill 374, "On-Bill Financing of Energy Improvements," is currently working its way through the Alaska legislative process. It is an act "relating to on-bill financing by a utility for certain energy efficiency and conservation improvements." In Rep. Adam Wool's published Sponsor Statement, he explains that the bill would allow a utility to create an on-bill financing or repayment program to help customers finance energy improvements. "The improvement must utilize renewable energy or include switching to a more efficient device or fuel that does not increase greenhouse gas emissions. This legislation will be particularly useful as the Interior Energy Project expands its reach and a large number of Fairbanks residents choose to convert from oil to natural gas to heat their homes," his statement said.
