SUMMARY:Community Data Justice Collaborative Information Session
DESCRIPTION:This is an initiative of the Data Justice in Pittsburgh’s Black Neighborhoods project. Data Justice in Pittsburgh’s Black Neighborhoods is a project of the Black Equity Coalition (BEC) that aims to build decision-making power for Black Pittsburghers and those that have been most-impacted by residential segregation and disinvestment by creating public processes and public power over data as it is used\, governed\, and disseminated in the City of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nThe Community Data Justice Collaborative are residents nominated from the public and from community organizations that will engage in decisions that the City of Pittsburgh makes about data\, technology\, and policies that will serve as the foundation of the City’s emerging data governance process. The BEC will engage the Community Data Justice Collaborative and city data stewards in participatory activities to find consensus around how the city uses data and technology. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:How Cities Can Take Advantage of Direct Pay
DESCRIPTION:The Inflation Reduction Act provides tax incentives for the production of and investment in clean energy through a tax credit monetization called elective pay\, also known as “direct pay.” For the first time\, these clean energy tax benefits are available to entities that have been historically excluded from claiming them—such as state and local governments\, nonprofit organizations\, and other tax-exempt entities like schools\, hospitals\, places of worship\, and many more.Lawyers for Good Government have recently launched the Clean Energy Tax Navigator\, a project-specific tool to help tax-exempt entities learn about elective pay eligibility and requirements.Local government officials and decision-makers are encouraged to register for an upcoming webinar on August 22nd at 2 PM EST to learn about the tool and ways to weave various funding sources to maximize clean energy project financing. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Building Up Heat Pump Contractor Networks: Lessons Learned from Massachusetts\, Maine\, and New York
DESCRIPTION:Easy access to qualified contractors is key to scaling up residential heat pump use. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania\, it can be very difficult for consumers – even those highly committed to transitioning to high-efficiency\, electric heating – to find a knowledgeable and skilled contractor.How can we transform the market to address this problem\, especially as Pennsylvania rolls out its Home Electrification & Appliance Rebates and demand grows? We can start by learning from neighboring states who have made impressive headway on electrification.Join the Energy Efficiency Alliance for a webinar featuring speakers with expertise on New York’s\, Maine’s\, and Massachusetts’s residential contractor programs. They will speak to successes won and obstacles overcome in their programs\, sharing lessons learned that other states can draw upon to formulate plans that work for them. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Priority Climate Action Plan
DESCRIPTION:As part of the IRA\, the DEP is administering a new grant program funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to combat damaging climate pollution. The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program will use the funding to provide grants to states\, local governments\, tribes\, and territories to develop climate action plans and implement projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air co-pollutants. This program aims to achieve three objectives: \n\n\n\n\nTackle damaging climate pollution while supporting the creation of good jobs and lowering energy costs for families.\n\n\n\nAccelerate work to address environmental injustice and empower community-driven solutions in overburdened neighborhoods.\n\n\n\nDeliver cleaner air by reducing harmful air pollution in places where people live\, work\, play\, and go to school.\n\n\n\n\nBy reducing these GHG emissions and other air pollutants\, we can reduce the human impact on the environment and improve health outcomes related to climate hazards. The CPRG program has two funding phases: planning and implementation.Outreach and EngagementDuring the planning phase\, the commonwealth will develop climate action plans that identify emissions reduction measures. The Priority Climate Action Plan (PCAP) by March 1\, 2024\, and a Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) by July 1\, 2025. The PCAP will include greenhouse gas reductions that are a priority for Pennsylvania communities and businesses\, focusing on strategies for the industrial sector.As a part of our engagement process\, DEP is hosting meetings in communities around the state\, as well as this virtual session\, to convene with residents\, learn about their needs and climate concerns\, and incorporate their priorities into its PCAP. Public outreach will continue through the end of the CPRG Planning Phase in 2027. \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Community Choice Aggregation:  Boroughs are Ready!
DESCRIPTION:Join the Pennsylvania Solar Center and their panel of experts to learn more about Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)\, an opportunity for Pennsylvania boroughs to advance solar in their communities. CCA is well established in more than a dozen states\, and it has already been authorized for Pennsylvania boroughs to take action. CCA enables local governments to choose electricity providers for their constituents while residents and local businesses can opt out of CCA at any time. When combined with solar\, CCA provides strong energy price stability and lower energy costs compared to what individual consumers can negotiate on their own.   \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Designing Successful State Energy Office IRA Rebate Programs
DESCRIPTION:Webinar #4 (November 16): How to Leverage IRA Programs to Offer Whole-Home Solutions \n\n\n\nThe final webinar in the series will highlight ways that SEOs can harmonize IRA rebates with other programs to offer whole-home solutions. \n\n\n\nMany people\, especially those living in low-income households or disadvantaged communities\, are in need of more than just one appliance upgrade. States can better meet these families’ needs if they can effectively engage with such households and communities to find strategies that offer multiple benefits at once\, and help residents afford\, navigate and sequence their needed improvements. \n\n\n\nCome hear about what SEOs and implementers can do to meet households’ whole-house needs! \n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
