Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
The US Energy Information Administration estimates that more than 30 million US households are deemed energy insecure, i.e. they are unable “to adequately meet basic household energy needs”. Nearly 25 million households reduce or go without food or medicine to pay for energy. Studies show that communities of color and low-income families pay significantly higher shares of their income in energy costs. Since 2019, their average US home gas bill has increased by $536, their average US home electric bill has increased by $219, and 67% of the energy they use is wasted. The cost of this wasted energy has a big impact on decisions between going without food or medicine or meeting basic heating & cooling needs. At a very simple level, the Hub Controller puts money back in the pockets of LMI communities while helping them be part of the green energy transition. For every home that can afford to spend $50,000 on major energy efficiency retrofitting measures, there are 100 homes that can maybe only afford $500 on the energy transition. Indeed, the Hub Controller money savings disproportionately benefits LMI communities compared with more affluent communities.

Mission Statement:
Our mission is to help the 30M households the US Energy Information Administration say are unable to “adequately meet basic household energy needs” and “reduce or go without food or medicine to pay for energy”. The Hub Controller reduces energy bills and enables participation in the green transition for everyone.
