August 14, 2013 Weekly Update: CPUC workshop on EE financing; Multi-family tenant engement; SEEC presentations; SF PUC seeks EE consultant
Workshop
on EE Financing Pilots August 16
To
all parties and interested persons: Attached is the agenda for
the workshop to be held on Friday August 16, 2013 at 10:00a.m. in hearing Room
E. An hour long lunch break will be called around noon, and the workshop will
end no later than 4:00 p.m.
As
“Joint Utilities,” Southern California Gas Company and San Diego Gas &
Electric Company submitted Comments on the Proposed Decision proposing an
implementation plan for the EE Financing Pilots which they developed in
consultation with CAEATFA and HBC. I view the resulting implementation plan as
having significant weight because the PD envisions SoCalGas and CAEATFA as the
implementing entities.
Therefore, it will serve as the organizational
underpinning of the workshop. That does not mean all of the Joint Utilities’
proposals will be adopted in the final decision, but the workshop will
focus on understanding the proposal and how other proposed changes to the PD
could affect implementation due to timing, cost, or other factors. The agenda
identifies several issues from the Comments which could have a direct impact on
the pilot program implementation plan, and which will be discussed
individually.
The
workshop is not the place to introduce new evidence, make speeches, or to
re-argue policy positions. The function is to clarify the projects and pin down
implementation costs and schedule through questions and answers. As a result,
the parties should be better able to focus their Reply Comments in terms of
implementation as well as policy.
Parties
will have priority in asking questions, but some public or stakeholder
questions will be allowed, as time permits.

Webinar:
Tenant Engagement in the Multi-Family Setting
Behavior is the missing link in energy efficiency.
Our best efforts to legislate and design energy efficient multifamily buildings
are contingent on a third piece: tenant engagement. Tenants are not always
aware of the way their energy use can contribute to the scale of energy saving
potential. This webinar, offered by California Multi-Family New Homes, will
address ways in which stakeholders can work with tenants to achieve anticipated
energy efficiency.
Day: Wednesday, August 21, 2013
