Recorded: March 3, 2010 at 2:00 PM EDT In October 2009, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed into law Senate Bill 695, re-establishing the competitive market for electricity in California by allowing all non-residential customers the option of choosing their Electricity Service Provider (ESP) via Direct Access (DA) service. DA service provides opportunity and choice for companies to engage in new electric supply options that help manage energy costs and mitigate risks while providing “greener” electricity alternatives. Currently only former DA customers who have been with the utility for at least three years can return to DA and only after providing six months notice to their utility. Many of the provisions of SB 695 have yet to be finalized and the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) is continuing to refine details about available load, how it is to be phased in, and customer enrollment. However, because the window for companies to take advantage of this opportunity is likely to be very short with only a limited percentage of load available for DA, it's crucial that companies be well-informed and ready to act once the CPUC implements the phase-in period. We invite you to join World Energy for a complimentary webinar featuring Dorothy Rothrock, Vice President of Government Relations with the California Manufacturers and Technology Association (CMTA). Dorothy will discuss how the new market may develop and how your company can benefit from a competitive energy market. We will also share strategies that many companies are acting on NOW to best position themselves for enrollment before the load caps are reached. If you’re responsible for managing your company’s energy procurement practices, or if you make recommendations to your management team on mitigating energy risk, then you won’t want to miss this webinar.
