RECOGNIZING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY AS ENERGY POVERTY AWARENESS MONTH.
HCR 11 designates February 2025 as Energy Poverty Awareness Month in Delaware. The resolution recognizes energy poverty - defined as inadequate access to affordable, reliable energy services - as a critical issue affecting low-income, minority, and rural households who spend disproportionately high shares of income on energy bills. It encourages state agencies and community organizations to promote awareness, share resources, and conduct outreach to support these communities during the designated month. The resolution does not create new programs or funding but aims to highlight the problem and foster collaboration among public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
