The September 13, 2013 deadline for the EPA’s 2013 Climate Leadership Awards gives you plenty of lead time to pull together a solid application and make sure that your organization and organizational leadership get some recognition for your good work. Last year’s awardees included several municipalities and public agencies -_ Boulder County, Colorado;the City of Austin, Texas; and the Port of San Diego.
Particularly notable was the award received by the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) which is a member of the North Bay water Reuse Authority, a TFG client. The EPA recognized SCWA for “leading a county-wide local government electric vehicle effort; initiating Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program financing for clean energy projects; and developing a Community Choice Aggregation program as a means to facilitate distribution and development of renewable energy county-wide.” Nationally, SCWA also initiated, helped establish, and supports Applied Solutions—a non-profit network of counties and cities that identify and share innovative clean energy projects, programs, and financial mechanisms.
