2013 -2014 Energy Efficiency Programs <br />Local Government Partnership Program <br />Program Implementation Plan <br />Target #3 <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />Target #4 <br />N/A <br />N/A <br />Refer to individual partnership PIP section. <br />6 - Other Program Element Attributes — Element B - Strategic Plan Support <br />a) Best Practices <br />SoCalGas approach to Strategic Plan Support is innovative and reflects lessons learned because <br />SoCalGas has observed that multiple actors provide governments with long -term GHG reduction <br />and energy reduction strategies. SoCalGas has learned from previous programs that it is more <br />important for governments to have access to tools and technical assistance to become informed <br />energy actors rather than directly performing all functions themselves. <br />b) Innovation <br />The Strategic Plan Support element is inherently innovative since these elements have not been <br />a part of previous Government Partnership program. <br />c) Interagency Coordination <br />The Strategic Plan Support element affords many opportunities for CEC, ARB and PIER <br />coordination especially as communities look towards AB32 implementation and Title 24 <br />compliance and development of climate action plans. Government Partnerships who include <br />Strategic Plan Support elements in their program will look to align the goals of their respective <br />communities around the goals of the Strategic Plan through education and outreach campaigns, <br />peer -to -peer support and by providing technical assistance around compliance issues with these <br />agencies. <br />d) Integrated /coordinated Demand Side Management <br />The Strategic Plan Support program element will achieve coordination of demand side <br />management, low income efficiency, and workforce training. Peer to peer support will serve as <br />a catalyst for integration by providing a platform for knowledge sharing. In this way, there is an <br />opportunity to expose all peer to peer participants to all utility program offerings in an <br />integrated fashion. <br />e) Integration across resource types (energy, water, air quality) <br />This program element integrates other resources, especially regarding guiding documents, <br />which necessarily should include resource types such as waste, land use, water. While <br />government Partnerships are designed to focus on energy efficiency, SoCalGas can encourage <br />partnerships to access other resources and can also emphasize when energy programs have <br />incidental benefits to other resources. See individual PIPs for more specific information. <br />f) Pilots <br />Individual LGPs may choose to implement pilots related to this element. See individual PIPs for <br />more specific information. <br />g) EM &V <br />A process evaluation will be conducted by a third party evaluator. The evaluation will assess <br />communication and coordination effecti2 Cbe�Ren partners as well as satisfaction with the <br />
