The Contractor Connection E-Newsletter's General Updates edition focuses on updates to SCE's Demand Side Management (IDSM) solutions and resources to help address your customers' energy management needs. Use this E-Newsletter edition as a resource to keep up-to-date on new and expiring solutions, policy and procedural matters, and more.

 

This edition brings you information on the next Info Session, a reminder of a Customized solution expiring at year-end, training opportunities, and more.

October's Info Session is Next Week!

 
Each quarter we host an information session to deliver Express and Customized Solutions updates and reminders. With the exception of updates on the 2010-12 program cycle-end deadlines and possibly the CPUC's decision on the 2013-14 EE Program Application, much of the information we have to deliver this quarter is reminders. 

 

Therefore, we are altering the October info session format to allow 20-30 minutes for updates and reminders, followed by 60 minutes of training on the Online Application Tool.

 

What: October Info Session and Training

When: Friday, October 26, 9:30 - 11:00am (webinar)
