Every great performance starts with an audition. Every great artist has their debut. That moment where you step up, show what you've got, and hope someone sees your potential.🎤
That's essentially what IDEEA 365 is for California's energy efficiency world. Run by the Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs), this year-round competitive solicitation is an open call for third-party implementers to pitch new, cost-effective energy efficiency programs. No waiting for a specific funding cycle. No narrow windows. Just: you've got an idea? Bring it.
And it's working. IDEEA 365 has become one of the most important pipelines for innovation in California EE—surfacing fresh program concepts, encouraging creative approaches, and getting new ideas from proposal to implementation faster than traditional procurement ever could. It's how California keeps evolving, keeps experimenting, keeps getting better at delivering energy efficiency to the communities that need it most.
This month's playlist is for everyone who's ever prepared for their moment. The first songs. The "here I am" anthems. The tracks that say I've been ready for this. 🎧✨
