State
In August 2001, a Universal Energy Charge (UEC) was imposed on customers of electric and gas utilities to pay for low-income energy programs. About $10 million is raised annually with 75% to be distributed through the state LIHEAP agency to supplement LIHEAP; and 25% through the state weatherization agency for low-income energy efficiency.
