Implementing partner met with SCE and SoCalGas representatives in Rosemead on May 24th to discuss the 2013-14 transition period. Implementer worked to gather feedback from local government partners to make comments on the 2013-14 PIP draft to the utilities. Key Issues or Emerging Concerns: The implementing Partner has been working with all eight jurisdictions to gather details relating to energy accounts in order to provide a comprehensive portfolio review, and prepare the facilities for upload into the EPA Portfolio Manager system. The project is still scheduled to be completed in June 2011. Due to staff cutbacks and lack of time jurisdiction partners have not been able to provide necessary information in a timely manner. Implementer continues to assist and encourage all jurisdictions to help complete this project. Implementer and Utility managers are working to ensure submission of application for incentive on ARRA funded projects with all eight jurisdictions. Upcoming Milestones The next monthly Partnership meeting will take place on August 2nd. The Partnership will have a booth at the June 1st City of Lindsay Friday Night Market.
