The Board is directed to identify and provide funding for cost-effective energy efficiency projects that (i) give priority to funding cost-effective energy efficiency projects that will benefit low-income Virginians or assist multifamily projects and (ii) do not replace existing demand side management programs and other energy efficiency initiatives conducted by a public utility.
