Programs</strong></h2><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">When thinking about designing an on-bill financing program, it is important to have an effective and informed program planning, design, and implementation that can help maximize the uptake and impact of your program. The following provides an overview of design considerations that utilities and program administrators need to evaluate regarding program goal setting, financing administration, deciding on a financing mechanism, selecting capital for your program, marketing your program, and assessing and managing contractors.  </p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Program Goal Setting</strong></h3><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">There is no one right way to implement an on-bill financing program; utilities face the same questions when designing an on-bill financing program:</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Who do we want to reach?</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">What do customers need to finance?</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">What do we want the program to accomplish?</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">How will we measure success? </p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Who do we want to serve?</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">What member needs do we want to resolve?</p></li></ul><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>For more information on program goal setting, see </strong><a href="https://www.betoolkit.org/planning/goals"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>On-Bill Financing Models</strong></h3><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">On-bill financing programs can be divided into two major categories: on-bill loans, and on-bill tariffs (i.e., tariffed on-bill financing).</p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><em>On-bill loans</em> are those where the utility offers a loan to the participant to pay for the energy upgrades, and the participant is then responsible for paying (or assigning the proceeds to) the contractors. Under this model, loans can be either tied to the individual or to the meter, and some utilities utilize a hybrid underwriting method (credit score plus utility bill payment history) to screen participants into the program. While most utilities operating on-bill financing programs use this model, EESI recommends that the loan be assigned to the meter if this model is used.</p><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In<em> on-bill tariff programs</em>, the utility pays the contractors for the electrification and energy efficiency upgrades to the participant’s home or business. The participant repays the investment using a portion of the savings, through a line item on the monthly utility bill, with no upfront cost or debt involved. The investment is tied to the meter, and program eligibility is based on utility bill payment history, not credit scores. Additionally, on-bill tariff programs place emphasis on delivering immediate energy savings to the participant. Utilities can also partner with a third-party financial institution (e.g., green bank or credit union) to provide the capital for the program. The financial institution pays the contractor for the energy-related investments. Acting as a pass-through entity, the utility then pays the investment back to the third-party financial institution. The <a href="https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/green-banks-driving-clean-energy-investments-and-saving-families-money">Hawaii Green Energy Money $aver (GEM$) on-bill program</a> – which EESI helped develop – is a prime example of this model. GEM$ focuses on financing solar panels for low-income and moderate-income households, commercial accounts, and nonprofits.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Program Administrators </strong></h3><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Utility participation in an on-bill financing program varies along a spectrum and can take a series of scenarios and possibilities.</p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">On the high end of the utility-participation spectrum, a utility could operate an on-bill financing program on behalf of all the member communities interested in participating. In this scenario, a utility would be involved in all the elements that compose an on-bill program, meaning originating and servicing loans for the program, approving contractors, marketing the program, and greenlighting participant loans/investments. Depending on the size of the utility may have to dedicate at least one full-time staff to operate the program.</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In the middle of this spectrum, a utility may contract with a financial partner that performs key tasks, but the utility could be involved in aspects of the process, such as making loan approvals, buying down interest rates, processing loan applications, or handling delinquent accounts.</p></li><li><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">On the lower end of the spectrum, a utility could outsource all of these roles to third parties, leaving the utility the role of collecting the finance payments via a utility line on the participant’s monthly bill and then passing on those payments to the financial partner. In this scenario, the utility acts as a pass-through entity for the on-bill payments, reducing their exposure to possible defaults and non-payments.</p></li></ul><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Billing Systems Vendors</strong></h3><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Most co-ops and small utilities already work with a vendor that provides billing system software. Vendors such as NISC, Cayenta, and SEDC all offer varying levels of on-bill financing functionality in their software. This is commonly done via a free add-on module for on-bill financing, but only in newer versions of the software. While this functionality is not always required to operate an on-bill program, it makes program tracking and bill integration <em>much</em> simpler. It is a good idea to contact your current billing system software provider early in the program design process to understand the functionality your system currently provides and determine what would be gained by updating the billing software.</p><h3 style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Additional Design Considerations </strong></h3><p class="sqsrte-large" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">See the
