Board members tout Yeoman Creek energy sign‑up; district encourages qualifying residents to register

Board members used the operational services meeting to highlight a community energy enrollment opportunity: the Yeoman Creek program listed on powermarket.io.
Trustee Lindsey told the board that the project listing shows about 1,313 available subscription spots and urged residents who live within the eligible service area use the website to apply. Staff clarified that eligibility is restricted by location and that some district residents north of Gulf Road do not qualify; however households receiving SNAP or Medicaid might still be eligible even if outside certain boundaries.
Trustee remarks also noted the project’s timeline: staff said Yeoman Creek’s estimated commercial operation date is Oct. 31 with substantial completion expected Dec. 12, and that photographs in the operational report show visible progress. The board encouraged community outreach and suggested producing a simple how‑to video explaining the sign‑up steps.
Why it matters: The program offers a local energy subscription benefit to eligible residents; trustees urged promotion so qualifying families take advantage of it.
Provenance: Discussion took place in the operational services committee report and trustees asked staff to provide additional outreach materials.
