House Bill 79 aims to restore Ohio’s energy efficiency programs, which were gutted by House Bill 6. HB 79 creates programs that incentivize customers to purchase energy efficient technologies. Energy Efficiency reduces demand for electricity which, in turn, reduces harmful emissions. This reduction in energy consumption will improve air quality, create a more reliable electrical grid, and lower energy bills for Ohioans. <br>
