Lt. Gov. Austin Davis hosted a roundtable discussion in Fayette County to focus on rising energy costs and highlight how the Shapiro-Davis Administration is protecting consumers, accelerating responsible energy development and positioning Pennsylvania to build more power faster, while keeping costs down."The Shapiro-Davis Administration is pursuing an 'all of the above' strategy that will create jobs and bring electric costs down by producing more energy," said Davis. "We're also pushing back when utility companies and the electric grid managers have tried to gouge Pennsylvania consumers. Working families, seniors and businesses need relief from skyrocketing costs, and the Shapiro-Davis Administration is working to put more money back into their pockets."At the roundtable, the state Department of Human Services (DHS), which administers the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and Dollar Energy Fund, which provides utility assistance grants, discussed the need facing families across the Commonwealth.Panel Participants:Chad Quinn, CEO, Dollar Energy FundJeaneen Zappa, Executive Director, Keystone Energy Efficiency AllianceLt.
