Center for Energy Poverty and Climate - Energy Programs Center for Energy Poverty and Climate CEPC was founded on the belief that achieving the goal of net zero climate emissions in the residential sector will require coordination from the public private and nonprofit sectors. The current patchwork of state and federal programs and incentives is confusing disjointed and difficult to navigate. Many of them are targeted at marketrate solutions and do not address the needs of families who cannot afford to make expensive home upgrades on their own. CEPC is creating a platform for policymakers to engage directly with one another to share best practices and lessons learned brainstorm solutions to difficult problems and find innovative ways to braid funds and leverage programs to achieve net zero.
