Bill 118 s 3489, also known as the Energy Circuit Riders Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to establish a program within the Department of Energy that would provide technical assistance to rural and underserved communities in order to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy costs.
The Energy Circuit Riders Act would create a team of experts, known as "circuit riders," who would be deployed to these communities to assess their energy needs and provide guidance on how to implement energy-saving measures. This program aims to help these communities reduce their energy consumption, lower their utility bills, and ultimately become more sustainable.
The bill also includes provisions for training and education programs to help community members learn about energy efficiency and conservation practices. Additionally, it calls for the development of partnerships with local governments, utilities, and other stakeholders to ensure the success of the program.
Overall, the Energy Circuit Riders Act seeks to address the energy challenges faced by rural and underserved communities by providing them with the resources and support needed to improve their energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.
