2013 -2014 Energy Efficiency Programs <br />Local Government Partnership Program <br />Program Implementation Plan <br />The five (5) identified success criteria represent what SoCalGas and SCE felt were the core <br />components that should be present in any Partnership. In the course of critically evaluating each <br />partnerships programmatic activities, it also became apparent that not only do these criteria <br />represent what a successful partnership looks like, but that these criteria are the progeny of the <br />unique collaborative relationship present in our service territory, as such, the aggregate value of <br />these criteria applied across the scope of the LGP program is greater than the sum of each <br />individual partners contribution. To that end, the following provides details on how the LGP <br />program and its individual partners will continue to meet the criteria identified above. <br />Looking across the Program, each Partnership is anticipated to complete the targeted goals set <br />forth in the 2010 -2012 program cycle, and has thus been identified as a "successful" Partnership <br />to continue in the 2013 -2014 Transition Period. Moving forward, the LGP program will be <br />working toward meeting the mid -term goals identified in the Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan, <br />building off the success and momentum established during the 2010 -2012 cycle. <br />SCE and SoCalGas have identified separate set of criteria to address our interest in expanding <br />local government programs. The IOU's developed the following list of expansion criteria that <br />will be applied across each partnership that is included into the program in 2013 -14. Partnerships <br />will address the following priority areas: <br />1. Deeper retrofits within <br />2. Workforce education and training <br />3. Codes and Standards enforcement and training <br />4. Emerging technologies deployment <br />5. Water /Energy Nexus <br />Further consideration will be taken on what additional resources will the Partnerships leverage to <br />implement the expansion and address how the expanded Partnership complements existing <br />Partnership efforts. SoCalGas has also been collaborating with PG &E, and will share the same <br />criteria for those partnerships that are shared with PG &E. <br />The Government Partnership program is designed to reach local governments in all of their roles. <br />Depending upon the activity, SoCalGas may play a different role with the local government, <br />ranging from service provider to supporter to equal partner. Local governments increasingly <br />engage in strategic planning for GHG reduction not only in their facilities (represented in the <br />municipal GHG inventory) but also in the community (analyzed in the community GHG <br />emissions inventory). Opportunities increase for partnerships with utilities to meet mutual goals <br />of energy reduction. Some of the key programs which LGPs will support in 2013 -14 include <br />EUC worldorce Education and Training, and Business Improvement Districts. These <br />governments can not only coordinate and integrate demand -side management (DSM) <br />opportunities in each sector or market they influence, but also effectively leverage and <br />promulgate low- income offerings. <br />SoCalGas will develop a marketing plan and marketing collateral based on customer <br />segmentation work and research to support outreach efforts. This customer segmentation will <br />help SoCalGas develop an understanding of customers' needs and respond accordingly with <br />products and services that customer's want. The segmentation analysis looks at what the <br />customer requires and how the customer is engaged with SoCalGas. SoCalGas will use many <br />
