If I had not put in 3 weeks, EWEB would have dropped their citizen involvement component of the Integrated Electric Resource Plan they are to do periodically. A community outcry compelled them to add back a citizen committee. EWEB made sure it spent a lot of bux: $200k reportedly. 

Now they again say that they probably dont need a citizen committee since they have tons of energy into the future. Although they did allow an IERP committee, they eliminated the forum for public comment.  I attended past ones & all recent IERP mtgs.

Via public records I secured IERP app names: EWEB overlooked 12 apps with a collective 300 yrs of solar education, design & hands-on experience defending this decision later saying that they didnt want skewing by ones who could economically benefit! Then they misinformed ratepayers that IERP supported Smart Meters w/o explaining the nemesis. They themselves were ignorant & became partly informed thx to Families for SAFE Meters - thousands of hrs by hundreds.
