SoCalREN Program Highlight

This month, SoCalREN launched their podcast, “ReEnergizing Communities” (which you can access here https://socalren.org/about/podcasts ) which will focus on exciting new trends and ideas impacting the energy efficiency and sustainability communities in Southern California, while also providing a platform for local leaders who are making an impact on the environment and economy, and provide information to the general public on SoCalREN's services. The first episode centers on energy resiliency, an entity's ability to withstand or recover quickly from disruptions in available and affordable energy resources.
