PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The Self-Generation Incentive Programprovides incentives for installation of qualifying equipment that produces all or aportion of the electric needs of a facility.There are three levels of incentives:

CUSTOMER ELIGIBILITY

Any retail electric or gas customer of PacificGas and Electric Company is eligible for theSelf-Generation Incentive Program. Thisincludes gas customers of Pacific Gas andElectric Company who receive electric servicefrom a municipal utility.

While residential customers are not barredfrom the program, the minimum system sizerequirement for Level 1 technologies (30 kW)effectively limits PV and wind systems to commercial customers. The California EnergyCommission (CEC) offers a similar program (the CEC Buydown Program) that is available toresidential customers who install renewablegeneration sources, such as photovoltaic andwind systems, with no minimum system sizerequirement.

For more information on the CEC Buydown Program:
