New Member: Frontier Energy Joins with TEPRI

FRONTIER ENERGY ASSISTS LOW-INCOME ENERGY CUSTOMERS WITH TEXAS ENERGY POVERTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE (TEPRI)

AUSTIN, TEXAS – The Texas Energy Poverty Research Institute (TEPRI) is thrilled to announce Frontier Energy as a supporting member. Frontier Energy has spent over a decade implementing utility energy efficiency programs in Texas serving single-family and multifamily low-income residents. They provide turnkey program administration, training for project sponsors, and outreach to broaden the network of eligible program partners while cultivating innovative program delivery models that optimize energy savings and incorporate new energy efficiency measures.

Over the past decade, new building codes and energy technologies have improved the energy efficiency of most Texas homes. Yet among lower income families, especially those who rent their homes, the need for assistance in paying for energy improvements to properties and paying energy bills is still high. Frontier looks forward to collaborating with TEPRI and other TEPRI members to identify, clarify and simplify pathways for leveraging multiple funding sources toward meeting these needs.

Steve Wiese, Director of Implementation at Frontier Energy, is excited to be the newest TEPRI member. He says, “We see our alliance with TEPRI as a unique opportunity to expand and improve our innovative approaches to serving low-income energy customers and their utilities.”
