Abstract: This work will focus on the consumer’s household budget to better characterize the vulnerability of low-income communities and the metrics that would be most appropriate to measure the ‘affordability’ of energy. The team created an Ability-to-Pay index that was used as the basis of univariate statistical correlations of 57 potential vulnerability indicators. The corresponding GIS maps offer nuanced affordability and vulnerability data for stakeholders in the power system.
