April 14, 2010 meeting:  Agenda:

  1. The PACE workshop:
    • See notes  by following the "Related Item" to the right.
    • As of April 12, VNRC/VEIC don't seem to have posted the presentations.
    • Barry will bring his.  Paul and Carl--bring yours if you've got any.
  2. Our timeline:
    • Ken met with Garth Genge (Community Development Specialist; seems to be the Planning Dept’s energy point-person) to discuss the City’s position on and role in PACE – so that we can set ours.
    • The City doesn’t feel many steps are currently necessary to keep on track for setting up a PACE, because:
      1. it sees other Vermont municipalities (with state-funding support, &/or VEIC support) will do the early leg work for establishing the typical “revolving loan fund” PACE financing.
      2. finalization of the $8m DOE grant for District Energy, of which @ $3m can or will be used towards PACE, will provide significant funding for the eventual effort.
  3. Our role v. City role
    • One possibility is our being the "entity designated by the municipality to analyze project costs and benefits" and to ensure that "all analyses are reviewed by Efficiency Vermont." Garth is asking us to consider this role.
    • If we are to consider this, perhaps we’ll check in with Efficiency Vt on what certification requirements would be, and start developing a proposal to offer that service.
  4. Planning/Next Steps
