States awaiting stimulus funds will be pleased to know that when it comes to funding energy efficiency programs, their dollars will go far. Drastically reduced energy consumption and immediate job growth are just some of the benefits that effective policies and programs can bring, particularly to the Appalachian region, which has the highest energy consumption in the country. Kateri Callahan presented these findings to the annual Charlotte Regional Partnership Investors Board in Charlotte, N.C., where already progressive energy efficiency policies and programs are taking root. Callahan also briefed the audience of investors and board members on the climate and energy bills moving through Congress.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Shop Now for Cheaper Electric Rates
By Jack Z. Smith, October 7, 2010
Recent Stats
As of July 2010 (latest available),
statewide residential electric
prices in Texas are below the
national average.
Competition is fierce. For
example, there are 51 different
1-year fixed-price offers in North
Texas (Oncor) below 10 cents.
Competition is helping to push
prices down: the average 1-yr
fixed price offer in competitive
areas of Texas has fallen 33% in
the past two years.
"There are one-year fixed rates available that are
below what most North Texans were paying just
before the majority of the state's electricity
market was deregulated nearly nine years ago,
on Jan. 1, 2002.”
• "Nineteen one-year, fixed-rate plans below 9 cents
per kwh, including two at 8.4 cents, six at 8.5 cents,
three at 8.6 cents, four at 8.8 cents and four at 8.9
cents.”
• "Six two-year fixed-rate plans at 9 cents per kwh.”
• "Fourteen all-renewable energy, one-year fixed-rate
plans below 10 cents, ranging from 8.8 cents to 9.8
cents per kwh."

Energy received a Federal Smart Grid Investment Grant that enables the
deployment to be completed by late 2012. Through year-end 2009, CenterPoint
Energy installed 152,275 advanced meters, and another 700,000 meters have
been installed through September 2010.
• Oncor’s approved deployment plan initiated in late 2008 will have installation of
advanced meters completed by the end of 2012. To date, Oncor has installed
1.3 million meters.
• The AEP Texas deployment plan was approved in December 2009 and
installation of advanced meters will be completed by the end of 2013. As of
September 30, 2010, AEP Texas has installed 116,383 meters

Benefits for Qualified!
Low-Income Customers:!
The System Benefit Fund!
• The System Benefit Fund (SBF) was enacted as part of the
Texas Electric Choice Act in 1999. It is intended to provide
funding specifically for:
– assistance to low-income customers through reduced electric rates;
– weatherization programs; and
– administrative funding.
• During the months of May through September, eligible low-
income customers received a discount of up to 20 percent
through the “LITE-UP Texas” electric discount program.
