    Stakeholder Spotlight: Darren Hanway

    In this episode of Stakeholder Spotlight, host Courtney Blore sits down with Darren Hanway, a leader at Southern California Gas Company with over two decades of experience shaping California's energy efficiency landscape. Darren's career started unexpectedly in 2001, opening rebate applications during California's energy crisis. That summer job turned into twenty years of learning from the people who built Edison's customer-first approach to efficiency. Now leading a team of over 100 at SoCalGas, Darren has helped make the utility one of only three in the country to win the Energy Star Partner of the Year award—all while achieving over 130% of their goals and becoming the most cost-effective utility in the state. But what really drives Darren? His belief that energy efficiency is a customer service business first—not a math problem, not a regulatory exercise, but something built for people. He's an eternal optimist who thinks we've overcomplicated this work and that getting back to basics matters more than playing it safe. This conversation explores leadership, innovation, and what it really takes to keep customers at the center of energy efficiency work. Guest: Darren Hanway, Southern California Gas CompanyHost: Courtney Blore, SJVCEO

    What's That? | From Sister Cities to Fresno's No-Drama Playbook

    What does a sister city program have to do with energy efficiency? Host Courtney Blore set out to answer that question after attending an event connecting the City of Fresno with its sister city, Münster, Germany. But when she sat down with Ann Kloose, Sustainability Division Manager for Fresno, the conversation took an unexpected turn. Yes, they talk about Münster,but what really emerges is a behind-the-scenes look at how Fresno's sustainability team actually operates. With just two people managing millions of projects, Ann shares the playbook for getting things done without the drama. It's a conversation about partnerships, pragmatism, and making real progress in local government. https://www.fresno.gov/publicworks/sustainability/ https://spurr.org/2025/11/20/how-fresno-turned-ambition-into-action-key-insights-from-the-citys-journey-to-zero-net-energy/ https://www.sjvceo.com/blogee/technology-tuesdays-cityoffresno

    What's That? | Heat Pump Water Heater

    We’re talking about heat pump hot water heaters! Why? Because everyone is talking about heat pump water heaters! (#heatpumpnation) So let’s stop nodding along, pretending we know what they’re talking about, and do a quick crash course on the humble water heater. Courtney sat down with Patrick Burgess from Willdan to talk about HPHWH’s, what they are, where they work, what they cost, and why they’re such a smart choice to make now!

    HappEE Hour: Living in Dystopia?

    Real and perceived barriers to building electrification, renewable generation, and advanced energy storage paint the outline to the next hit novel chronicling a dystopian future.  Imagine a world not so far off, perhaps only a few generations, where we have electrified communities, resilient to the escalating climate crisis. Who are they and will conflict emerge between those who have reliable access to resources and those who do not? The goal is simple—to discuss how to keep this potential eventuality squarely in the fiction section of our collective future. Guests discuss how policy, energy code and programs intersect with building electrification and equitable access to resources and as well as barriers, community messaging and recommended actions to accelerate equitable change. Recorded live on September 21st, 2022 at the California Climate and Energy Collaborative (CCEC) Forum in San Diego, California.  The conversation picks up immediately following the hugely successful “Building Electrification: Dystopian Novel or an Opportunity for Equitable Action?” panel.
