  • The One About Western Community Energy

    The Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) has been working with local governments to develop a new program, Western Community Energy, which will provide residents and businesses a choice in the energy supply it receives, enable local control over rate setting, and offer rates competitive to Southern California Edison. These Programs, commonly called “Community Choice Aggregation” – or CCA’s -are growing in popularity throughout California. 

    On this episode of the COGCast, we will explore CCA’s in more detail and are pleased to welcome Barbara Spoonhour, Deputy Executive Director of Operations for WRCOG, to the COGcast.

  • The One About Streetlights
    There are tens of thousands of streetlights in our communities that we truly only notice when the light is out or when a pole is knocked over by a vehicle. We take them for granted, expect them to work, and don’t think much otherwise about them.  
     
    But who owns the streetlights? What are the maintenance costs? How much energy do they consume? Could streetlights be an opportunity for economic development?
     
    On this episode of the COGCast, we explore WRCOG's innovative Regional Streetlights program, which is projected to save more than $60 million over a 20-year period. Our featured guest on this episode of the COGCast is the architect of the Program, Tyler Masters, Program Manager at WRCOG.
