The Association of Energy Conservation Professionals serves as the trade association representing Virginia's weatherization network, including 14 nonprofit weatherization agencies and dozens of private weatherization and trade contractors that provide home repairs, energy efficiency upgrades, and other innovative energy solutions for Virginia's low-income and disadvantaged communities. The patrons of both HB2 and HB3 have very thoughtfully and intentionally engaged Virginia's weatherization network and taken our feedback into consideration for both bills. The feedback we provided for both bills would reduce unintended administrative burden for the weatherization service providers, and create more robust outcomes that would support the weatherization network in the near and long term, so we can better serve vulnerable Virginians with our services. AECP supports both HB2 and HB3. Thank you for your time.

HB3 Why do we have to pay for another "group" to tell people they get free money to fix their homes? Why should I have to work 3x as hard for what little I get, because someone else isn't willing to work? HB67 Offshore wind isn't going anywhere. Why are we having this? This is useless. HB74 How about we can recover the costs of lobbying out of the executives' pay. The SCC keeps approving garbage, and if VEPCO was required to be as watched as the regular people are, and with public reporting for all their fraud and abuse, we'd have lower rates (removing the clean energy money sucking mandates). Stop taking VEPCO's money, you're paid off just like a crook and then vote for it. HB120 The SCC is supposed to protect us!! We don't need MORE layers of govt doing the same thing. Either the SCC is doing it or it isn't. It is not, so get rid of it.
