Jacob Robison, Senior Project Manager, New Haven City Plan

Hi Shannon! We're working on getting the recordings and slides posted this week.

Thanks, Becca

Becca, could you post a link to where comments will be accepted?

If you would like to sign up for public comment, please send a direct message to Alanis Allen. Both members of the public and working group members can provide public comment. Public comment is the time to bring up off-topic items. We ask that the discussion focus on the presentation topics of the day as the presenters may not be prepared to answer all questions on any topic.

Hi Anji! Yes, here is the notice that explains the written comment submittal process: https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/DEEP/energy/CES/Notice-of-technical-meetings-5--6CESFINAL.pdf

Thank you!

@robert bell. Is the charging infrastructure built out for the bus public transit system?

Can school buses use the bus public transit charging stations?

Thank you Adrienne! Great presentation.

[Adrienne] How do you see this community engagement outreach and communication aligning with the Community Partnership Initiative offered by the Utilities (in relationship to the weatherization activities)? How do you think the Bridgeport scope supercedes it?

There is a potential win-win for utilities and disadvantaged communities with strong weatherization in these areas. Households that are getting energy subsidies will need fewer subsidies if their homes are weatherized. The utility will have less energy demanded from those areas AND thus pay fewer energy subsides.

Disadvantaged household will be more energy independent as a result.

Utilities are participating with BREP and so I expect their input going forward with specific programming. Wz has been cut back severely since Obama's AARA dried up and there is a world of buildings both residential and commercial needing weatherization. DEEP has a big program coming up, CAP agencies as well, so there is plenty of coordination to be done.

Congratulations Rebecca!

Congratulations, Rebecca!

Congrats!

I have to leave, thanks for an informative meeting.

Congratulations Rebecca!
