SUMMARY:Webinar - Increasing Black Business Participation in Clean Energy: An Economic Imperative and Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Join this two-part webinar series to hear from CDFI leaders of color\, green financing experts\, and government leaders about the variety of financial sources and opportunities\, and how your organization can access them and share them with your clients and communities. \nThe African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs\, Emerald Cities Collaborative\, and Prosperity Now have partnered to deliver this high impact\, timely\, two-part webinar series. The series is designed to increase the participation of Black-led Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs) and entrepreneur serving organizations (ESOs) in the clean energy space. \nRecord climate mitigation spending on the part of the U.S. government through bills such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act\, coupled with Administrative measures such as Justice 40\, have created a window of opportunity that can foster economic and wealth building opportunities for Black people and communities. But we must act fast to bring the organizations that capitalize and support Black businesses into the fold. Otherwise\, these wealth-building opportunities may be lost forever. Black-led CDFI’s and ESO’s can play a critical role in ensuring that these billions in community investment dollars not only foster investments in Black and Brown communities\, but that the money made off these investments\, directly benefits the Black businesses and communities that are represented in our nation’s extreme wealth disparities. \nConfirmed speaker list includes: \nLenwood Long\, President and CEO\, The African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs\nDr. Bakeyah Nelson\, Climate justice expert\nTrenton Allen\, CEO\, Sustainable Capital Advisors\nDonnell Baird\, CEO and Founder\, BlocPower\nStephen Brown II\, Founder of the Clean Energy Fund of Texas\nWatchen Bruce\, President & CEO\, Baltimore Community Lending\, Inc \nSession 2 – March 8\, 2023\, 10:00am – 12:00pm PST \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:PTCS Redesign - Offline Entry for Contractors
DESCRIPTION:Offline Entry allows users to enter and save measure data when cell signal or internet access is not available. The tool is initially accessed by visiting the PTCS homepage through your phone’s web browser and a few Offline Entry files are downloaded to your device. \nProject data for PTCS air source heat pumps\, PTCS variable speed heat pumps\, PTCS ground-source heat pumps\, PTCS duct sealing\, and prescriptive duct is saved to your device that can be uploaded to the online registry website when back online. When uploading these saved files\, projects receive a measure ID and job status that is helpful to the utility claiming the measure for payment. Users can enter as much or as little data as necessary while offline as the Registry will give you an opportunity to fill in any missing information when back online. \nThe PTCS team at CLEAResult will conduct How-To webinars for utility and contractor personnel shortly after the launch. These are scheduled for Aug. 9 and 10th respectively\, 8:00-8:30 am. \nAugust 9th\, 8-8:30 am Utility Webinar; https://meet.goto.com/834518781 \nAugust 10th\, 8-8:30 am Contractor Webinar https://meet.goto.com/802719013 \nFor a sneak peek: Watch the tutorial video here for more details on how to use the Offline Entry feature: PTCS Offline Entry (https://youtu.be/9zZhq9521gs) \nClick here to join the webinar. \nQuestions: Contact the PTCS Call Center at resHVAC@bpa.gov | 1.800.941.3867
