AI summary The Affordable Single-family Homes (ASFH) program outlines participation processes, eligibility for complementary programs like EPI and OHPA, and energy savings targets. In 2025, a one-time adjustment addressed EPI measures funded by ASFH. Participants may also access OHPA for transitioning from oil to electric heat pumps, with energy savings goals of 2.863 GWh and 0.825 MW in 2025.

AI summary The rationale for focusing electrification investments on low-income oil-heated customers is to improve affordability. The Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program provides grants and one-time payments to help eligible homeowners switch to electric heat pump systems, reducing reliance on oil heating.

E1 Rebuttal Evidence E1 is supportive in principle of the objective underlying Ms. Napoleon's recommendation and recognizes that low-income households converting from oil heating face real affordability and reliability challenges. E1 notes...

AI summary E1 supports the principle of Ms. Napoleon's recommendation regarding low-income households converting from oil heating but notes that extending long-term incentives for heat pump conversions may not be cost-free. Strategic Electrification modeling did not achieve cost effectiveness results of 1.0 or higher, and the recommended program would likely be even less cost-effective.
