Success in your jurisdiction

Q&A Session

FAQ

• Our city/county participates in a Community Choice

Aggregation/Direct Access program, so how does a TOU Optimization Program (TOP) affect us?

• Our city/county consulted with PG&E some months ago and

we put in place a program to address the new TOUs and we are seeing savings as a result. How does this new rule effect or enhance the previous study?

• As a result of the Corvid -19 Virus emergency, we are short

staffed; what is needed to have a study done?

• How do I contract for a TOP study?
• Having a study performed sounds like a “no brainer”,

but this TOU opportunity expires in March of 2021… how long does it take to conduct a review?
