The term “energy burden” refers to the percentage of a household's income that goes to utility bills, which can skyrocket in drafty, inefficient buildings. Nationally, African American and Latino communities often have energy burdens three times that of average household. St. Louis looks no different, as it consistently ranks in the top ten cities with the highest energy burden for African-American households. Renew Missouri, in partnership with Consumers Council of Missouri, is working on a project that studies disparities in energy burdens and identifies solutions for lowering energy costs for families across the Greater St. Louis area. Join us at the April Sustainability Lab to learn about Renew Missouri's work to analyze energy burden disparities, engage impacted communities, and collaboratively develop solutions.
