Equity Working Group
The goal of the Equity Working Group is to provide recommendations on the draft ESMPs for consideration by the GMAC specifically related to equity, with focus on low-income ratepayers and Environmental Justice populations. It will be the responsibility of the Equity Working Group to provide input and feedback to the GMAC, in carrying out its statutory responsibilities to review and provide recommendations to Electric Distribution Companies as they draft and submit Electric-Sector Modernization Plans (ESMPs). The Equity Working Group will also provide the GMAC with on-going input and recommendations on how to integrate and improve equity through the review and implementation of the ESMPs.
