Energy Efficiency, etc. Incentives

Harry: FYI. First meeting to discuss how to dole out the $50 MM created by
AB 970 is 10.7. Someone I've worked with on DG-type deals in the past from
EES is going to attend the meeting (Brian Smith from the Costa Mesa office).
Bob Frank and I had a conference call with him this morning. URL for the
event is included below.

Best,
Jeff

I am pulling together an answer to Larry Derrett's question concerning tax
credits/deductions to incent companies to invest in DSM. Am aware of recent
California SB 970 that makes available $50 million to implement
cost-effective energy conservation and demand-side management programs. And
of course there are lots of utility-specific programs that have been in place
for a while.

Question - are you aware of any new initiatives, federal, state, or
otherwise, that are being proposed? Are you engaged anywhere in proposing
such things? Thank you.

Rick,
Could you give Larry Derrett a brief update on his question.
Since many people in EES are asking a similar question, I'll copy Peggy
Mahoney and ask her to use your answer as the source for communicating this
to our employees via the BUZZ, our weekly newsletter.
Thanks

Given the current political climate and concerns about adequacy of energy
supplies, is someone at EES lobbying with politicians for certain
arrangements which could be beneficial to our business? For example, would
there be interest in creating a tax credit/favorable deduction to incent
companies to invest in DSM assets to reduce energy consumption? I can't
imagine that the political climate could be any better than now for a program
like this.
