This report on the energy-related needs of older New York State residents is based on research conducted by Knowledge Systems and Research, Inc. (KS R) of Syracuse, New York. The study was commissioned in 1989 by the New York State Elderly and Energy Network (NYSEEN) in conjunction with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The findings and recommendations of this report are intended to be used as a framework by New York State, federal and utility policy makers and program administrators serving the aging. An information resource for developing policies, services and programs that affect the elderly, this report adds to the data available for planning purposes. It can also be used to illustrate and increase awareness of the energy-related issues that affect the state's elderly population in the 1990's. NYSEEN and NYSERDA are particularly concerned with the energy-related needs of the low-income elderly householders in New York State. For this reason, the study has been designed to highlight issues relevant to this population segment. 29 refs., 42 figs., 45 tabs.
