Regional Technical Forum Sample Clauses

Regional Technical Forum. In 1996, Congress directed BPA and the Council to convene a Regional Technical Forum to develop standardized protocols for verifying and evaluating conservation savings. Congress further recommended that the RTF's membership include individuals with technical expertise in conservation program planning, implementation, and evaluation, and that its services be made available to all utilities in the Northwest. The Comprehensive Review of the Northwest Energy System (Comprehensive Review) supported the Congressional directives and recommended that the RTF should, in addition, track conservation and renewable resource goals and provide feedback and suggestions for improving the effectiveness of conservation and renewable resource development programs in the region. The Comprehensive Review also recommended that the RTF conduct reviews of the region's progress toward meeting its conservation and renewable resource goals at least every five years and communicate recommended changes to appropriate decision-makers. These periodic reviews are to acknowledge changes in the market and to adjust targets appropriately. The RTF was established as a standing advisory committee in 1999 to provide technical peer review and advice to the Council and BPA. Members of the RTF are selected by the Council based on their expertise and experience. The RTF consists of individuals drawn from utilities, the private sector, BPA, public interest groups, state and local government, and academic and national laboratory personnel. The RTF is funded from the Council's budget with possible augmentation from state public purpose funds and/or individual utilities that would use the RTF's services but that do not contribute proportionately to the Council's funding.
