ET25SWE0023 - IOU PA Meetings

The Program Team will hold quarterly meetings for IOU Program Administrators (PA) to provide specific, strategic opportunities for the IOUs to participate in and engage with the program (e.g. Program Advisory Committee, Fast Track projects). The meetings will include an overview of progress made each quarter, communicate important updates with the Program, highlight a few projects’ Final Reports, and provide an opportunity for PAs to interface more directly with members of the Program Team. During all meetings, there will be an opportunity for PAs to ask questions or comment on any of the information presented.  

In the past, these meetings have been an effective way to provide updates to IOUs about the CalNEXT program. In 2025, the CalNEXT Program Team hopes to garner more feedback from the IOU PAs that could provide insights on ways to maximize the effectiveness of the program. The large group format of these meetings may inhibit discussion. Therefore, to improve feedback and insights that can improve the CalNEXT program outcomes and to better understand the needs of the IOUs, the Program Team will additionally host a couple of one-on-one meetings with each IOU. During these individual meetings, the Program Team will ask each IOU a series of questions to gather their input on priorities, needs, general and specific program feedback on what is working well and what can be improved. The Program Team will hold two one-on-one meetings with each IOU over the 2025 calendar year.
