59. What’s an Energy Wallet? Exploring EPRI’s Tool for Tracking Household Energy Spending

As energy demand rises and electrification accelerates, understanding household energy affordability is more important than ever. In this episode of the EPRI Current, Geoff Blanford from EPRI and Michael Kohlhaas from Con Edison join host Samantha Gilman to discuss the Energy Wallet – EPRI’s new holistic metric for capturing total household energy usage and spending, including gas, electricity, and transportation. The experts share findings from EPRI’s recent report, which projects a 36% decline in the average U.S. household energy spending by 2050, and highlights how utilities like Con Edison are using similar models to guide long-term planning and support communities. Tune in to learn how data-driven insights are shaping the future of energy affordability and resilience.     Learn more about the Energy Wallet: https://energywallet.epri.com/       For more information visit EPRI.com.     If you enjoy this podcast, please subscribe and share!
