Roger Colton worked closely with members of the Nova Scotia Energy Poverty Task Force to prepare his report: “A Way Forward - A Made-in-Nova Scotia Home Energy Affordability Program”. Over decades Mr. Colton has helped design energy poverty programs for regulated utilities including Ontario’s electricity system.
The Energy Poverty Task Force offers Mr. Colton’s report for public and government consideration. It provides a comprehensive analysis of energy poverty in Nova Scotia and recommends a comprehensive program to systematically reduce energy poverty for low and moderate-income households.
Mr. Colton recommends a four-part program:
1. A bill affordability component
2. An arrearage management component
3. A crisis intervention component
4. An energy efficiency and electrification component
