Energy Policy Task Force invites you to a presentation June 6, 1 p.m.

The Energy Policy Task Force invites you to a presentation by Roger Duncan, Deputy General Manger of Austin Energy, to inform the community at large on best practices and what’s achievable prior to the Task Force reporting back to the Utility Committee of the City Council. The Presentation is scheduled for June 6 at 1:00 pm in the Council Chambers.

The City of Austin is generally recognized as one of the leading cities and municipal utilities in the nation regarding energy efficiency, renewable resources, and climate action plans. Austin Energy has been named by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency as the best green power program in the nation. They have several other national awards and sit on several national committees on energy efficiency and renewable resources.

Roger Austin has accepted the requests of several major cities around the country to present their programs and discuss energy policy. His presentation will include policies, programs or initiatives that may be helpful in developing a sound Energy Policy for the City of New Orleans.

Please extend this invitation to your staff, business associates, or any you think could be relevant to this effort.

Sincerely yours,

Chair of Utility Committee Oliver Thomas

Member of Utility Committee and Co-Chair Energy Policy Task Force Shelley Midura
