EM&V Forum with the IOUs:
The theme of our January 31 EM&V Forum at the Pacific Energy Center was the importance of working and learning together in this time of great and rapid change. From the first presentation to the last panel of the day, our engaging panelists offered their unique perspectives on normalized metered energy consumption (NMEC), pay-for-performance and third-party implementation issues, and we were reminded that together we are doing great things.
Policy Calls (Members Only):
