. It is the intent of the Legislature to protect and
strengthen the current network of community service providers by
doing the following:
(a) Directing that any evaluation of the effectiveness of the
low-income energy efficiency programs shall be based not solely on
cost criteria, but also on the degree to which the provision of
services allows maximum program accessibility to quality programs to
low-income communities by entities that have demonstrated performance
in effectively delivering services to the communities.
(b) Ensuring that high quality, low-income energy efficiency
programs are delivered to the maximum number of eligible participants
at a reasonable cost.
