Dear SGIP Applicants,
 
The Residential Solar and Storage Equity (RSSE) budget is temporarily closed in the SoCalGas territory 
starting on June 3, 2025. SoCalGas received reservation requests for the RSSE AB 209 budget in excess 
of funds available for non-tribal customers on the first day of application submissions. This resulted in some 
projects receiving a ‘Rejected’ notice when funding was no longer available. 
 
To address this, SoCalGas will conduct a lottery per section 2.1.1.1.3 of the SGIP Handbook. The lottery will 
be conducted for all RSSE AB 209 applications that were assigned a status of ‘RRF Submitted’ or ‘RRF 
Rejected’ on June 3, 2025. Following the lottery selection process, those projects not selected for funding will be placed onto the waitlist in the order in which they were received. Impacted projects will receive follow up 
communications on next steps.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please email SelfGeneration@Socalgas.com.
 
Best,
SoCalGas PA

SGIP Applicants,

You may have experienced an issue with the PV Watts integration on the Residential Solar and Storage 
Application the last couple days that prevented the panel from calculating production values and saving.

The issue has since been mitigated and PV Watts requests have resumed processing. Please reach out to 
SGIPsupport@energy-solution.com with any reports if this issue persists.

SGIP Stakeholders,

The SGIP PAs are pleased to announce the Residential Solar and Storage Equity (RSSE) budget will be open for program participants to draft applications as of May 20, 2025. To allow adequate time for applicants to 
become familiar with the RSSE requirements, minimize suspensions, and expedite the review process, 
application submissions will not be immediately available.

The RSSE budget will be open for application submissions on June 2, 2025.

In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Tax Credits guidelines per Resolution E-5373 will be effective for applications submitted on or after May 20, 2025.

The RSSE and IRA Tax Credit rules and guidelines can be found in the newest version of the SGIP 
Handbook, which will also be available starting May 20, 2025.


Please direct all questions to your respective SGIP PA

On February 18, 2025, the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) Program Administrators (PAs) filed a 
joint Tier 1 Advice Letter implementing programmatic changes to the SGIP pursuant to Resolution E-5360.
Energy Storage applications received on or after February 18, 2025, are subject to the new rules.

The following programmatic changes are:

1.	Replaces the storage system 10 kilowatt (kW) load justification threshold with a 15 kilowatt-hour (kWh) 
load justification threshold and establishes a 30 kWh incentive cap for single-family residential projects in all 
SGIP storage budgets;
2.	Replaces the multifamily storage system 5 kW per tenant unit load justification threshold with a 12.5 kWh per tenant unit load justification threshold in all SGIP storage budgets;
3.	Replaces the residential storage sizing methodology for storage systems above 15 kWh from sizing to 
the peak demand in the past 12 months in kW to:
	1. Sizing a storage system paired with solar generation to the average daily excess solar generation 
	   during a summer calendar month in kWh; and 
	2. Sizing a standalone storage system to the average daily energy consumption during the 4-9pm 
	   window during a summer calendar month in kWh;
4.	Updates the resiliency modular oversizing policy in the Equity Resiliency Budget to kWh. Host customers are eligible for modular sizing as long as more than 50 percent of the modular capacity of the additional 
module is needed based on load justification; and
5.	Replaces the 10 kW threshold for residential projects between the Small Residential Storage and 
Large-Scale Storage budgets with a 30 kWh threshold.

Notice to Applicants and Host Customers in Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) Self-Generation Incentive 
Program (SGIP) territory:
 
On July 1, 2024, the California Public Utilities Commission denied CSE’s Motion to Require San Diego Gas & Electric Company to Fully Fund the Self-Generation Incentive Program in its Service Territory. As a result, 
effective August 13, 2024, active budget categories for the CSE SGIP Territory will be updated to reflect 
San Diego Gas & Electric ratepayer collections.
 
Applications previously submitted to a waitlist will be funded in the order they were received, subject to the 
available funding in their respective budget category.  
 
Please note, at this time our teams are working to remove the notification banner at the top of the application page notifying program participants that applications will be placed on a waitlist.

The Large-Scale Storage Step 5 budget for the SoCalGas territory became fully subscribed on June 28, 
2024. The waitlist for the Large-Scale Storage Step 5 is now open. Large-Scale Storage applications will be 
placed on the waitlist in the order received. Waitlisted applications will be funded as attrition occurs. Please 
email SelfGeneration@Socalgas.com if you have questions about this announcement.

The Equity Resiliency (ER) budget for the SoCalGas territory became fully subscribed on June 20, 2024.
 
The waitlist for the ER budget is now open. ER applications will be placed on the waitlist in the order received. Waitlisted applications will be funded as attrition occurs.
 
Please email SelfGeneration@Socalgas.comif you have questions about this announcement.

On June 4, 2024, the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) Program Administrators filed a joint Tier 1 
Advice Letter implementing certain programmatic changes to the SGIP pursuant to CPUC Decision 24-03-071 and effective upon the date of filing.

To allow adequate time for program participants to become familiar with these new programmatic changes, all open SGIP Budgets will be paused and no new applications will be accepted until Wednesday, June 19, 
2024. 

Applications received on or before June 4, 2024, are not subject to the new rules. 

The following programmatic changes are effective as of June 4, 2024:

· Requirement that general market SGIP applicants with solar paired with installing storage, where an existing PV system exists, are enrolled in the Net-Billing Tariff (NBT) (Ordering Paragraph (OP) 27) and all eligible 
electrification TOU rates adopted in the NBT Decision are deemed to be SGIP-approved rates for customers on an NBT rate (OP 22);
· Requirement that SGIP applicants installing storage systems enroll in a qualified Demand Response (DR) 
Program (OP 21);
· Allows the PAs authority to remove the General Market Small Residential Storage Budget Soft Target 
(OP 31);
· Modifies metering requirements for SGIP residential storage such that, for incentivized versus 
non-incentivized on-site storage systems, separate metering is no longer required (OP 31);
· Provides that unanimous SGIP Working Group approval is no longer required for application extensions 
(OP 31);
· Provides that deed restrictions are no longer required for single-family homes and expands other categorical eligibility (OPs 14, 15, 16, 17);
· Directs an Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) attestation be included in the SGIP application and requires 
supporting information from customers under some circumstances (OP 28); and
· Establishes an annual deadline for data submission by developers or manufacturers and requires for the 
applicant to provide the part number and/or serial number associated with the incentivized system (OP 33). 

The database will be updated and applications may be submitted once the pause period has concluded on 
June 19, 2024. 

Please direct any questions to your respective SGIP PA.

The Equity Resiliency (ER) budget for the SoCalGas territory became fully subscribed on May 22, 2024.

The SolarEdge SEXX000H-US inverters have undergone a hardware change which lifted the battery power 
limit of 5 kW-DC. This hardware change is denoted by an update to the inverter's part number. The older 
SolarEdge inverters, with the 5 kW-DC battery power limit, have the following part number: SEXX00H-
USXXBBCXX and the newer SolarEdge inverters have the following part number: SEXX00H-USXXBBLXX. 
The main difference is the older inverters have BBC in the part number whereas the newer inverters have 
BBL. The SGIP Public Equipment List will be revised with these updates, so it is important for Applicants to 
verify the SolarEdge inverter’s part number when selecting their system from the dropdown menu to ensure 
the correct system model and ratings are auto-populated in the SGIP portal. The SolarEdge hardware version [BBC/BBL] will also need to be clarified in the ‘System Description’ section of the Preliminary Monitoring Plan (PMP).

Effective July 18, 2023, the Step 6 Small Residential Storage Budget for the SoCalGas territory became fully 
funded. The opening date for the Step 7 Small Residential Storage Budget in the SoCalGas territory will be 
Tuesday, August 1, 2023. 

A few reminders for SoCalGas customers applying for the Step 7 Small Residential Storage Budget: 
•	Applicants may begin drafting Reservation Request Forms (RRF) at this time and submit applications 
once Step 7 opens on Tuesday, August 1, 2023. 
•	Projects may receive reservations up to 12 months after receiving authorization to operate in parallel 
with the grid from the electric utility (or from Interconnection Date). See section 4.2.2 of the SGIP Handbook 
for more details. 
•	Before submission, please ensure that the RRFs have the most up to date project information and 
coincide with the Step 7 Small Residential Storage Incentive Rate. 

To check the status of available funding and current incentive rates, visit www.selfgenca.com/home/program_metrics/ [selfgenca.com].

UPDATE: Public Equipment List Updated to Reflect LG Chem Battery Derating and Renaming 
Effective December 22, 2022: LG Chem batteries paired with SolarEdge inverters are being de-rated and 
renamed as LG Energy Solutions. 
 
Applications that claimed these models prior to December 22, 2022, will maintain the original ratings and 
incentives that came with the model at the time the equipment was selected. These applications will still have access to this equipment in the equipment list drop down. 
 
Applications in RRF submitted after December 22, 2022, will not have access to select the LG Chem batteries in the equipment list dropdown, and must select the LG Energy Solution batteries. These applications will 
qualify for the updated ratings and incentives that result from this change.

On October 15, 2022, the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) closed the Step 6 budget for the 
following territory and budget category:
 
Southern California Edison (SCE)
Energy Storage General Market Budget
Small Residential Energy Storage
 
On Monday, November 28, 2022, SCE will open Step 7 of  their General Market Small Residential Energy 
Storage budget category.
 
Applicants may begin creating reservation requests at any time. These applications may then be submitted 
once the Step 7 Small Residential Energy Storage budget opens.

To GHG Signal API Users:

This is a reminder that on January 31, 2022 at midnight [PST] the new SGIP GHG signal will become the 
default signal provided through the SGIP GHG signal API. Both the old signal (version 1.0) and new signal 
(version 2.0) are currently available, but by default the v1.0 signal will be delivered until January 31, 2022 at 
which point the new signal will be delivered by default. While the new signal remains substantially similar to 
the old signal, the updated assumptions will change the magnitude of the signal and we advise developers to review the new signal if it could affect your optimization approach. Please see the SGIP GHG Signal API 
documentation for details on how to access the different model versions.

If you have any questions regarding the new GHG Signal version, you can contact Henry Richardson, 
WattTime Senior Analyst: henry@watttime.org

On December 16, 2021, the California Public Utilities Commission’s Energy Division issued a Non-Standard Disposition letter approving the SGIP Program Administrators (PAs) Joint Advice Letter of proposed revisions to the SGIP Handbook pursuant to D.21-06-005.  The revised SGIP Handbook is now available to download on selfgenca.com and incorporates a new requirement for Medical Baseline customers to complete an 
attestation confirming the following:

1.	Equity Resiliency Budget incentive will be used for energy storage equipment installed at the customer’s primary residence; and

2.	Customer is Self-certifying that they have a serious illness or condition that could become 
life-threatening if service is disconnected

As of today, the attestation is available and can be downloaded on selfgenca.com under Forms and 
Documents or at the below link: 
https://www.selfgenca.com/documents/application_forms/medical_baseline. 

All projects for customers claiming eligibility in the Equity Resiliency Budget under Medical Baseline that are 
funded on or after January 21, 2022 (the date this form has been made available) must complete this 
attestation as part of the application. This includes projects that are funded off of the waitlist on or after 
January 21, 2022

Please upload the attestation as an ad hoc document for each affected application on selfgenca.com.

California Public Utilities Commission Decision 21-06-005 extends the Equity Resiliency and General Market Resiliency Adder requirements to customers who have experienced one Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event and one de-energization or power outage from an actual wildfire that occurred on or after January 1, 
2017, in addition to customers that have experienced two or more discrete PSPS events and apply the 
eligibility requirements to the meter not to individual customers, referencing CalFIRE or a similar source to 
define the term "wildfire.". 

Customers who qualify under the expanded eligibility may submit applications now. The SGIP Program Administrators (PAs) are currently working with Energy Solutions to update the database with new fields in the 
online application for this criteria . Until those updates are complete, please fill out the following as needed:

For projects applying under the expanded eligibility, please upload an ad-hoc document stating that your 
customer is claiming eligibility under one discrete PSPS event and one de-energization or power outage from a wildfire event that occurred on or after January 1, 2017.

----------------------------------
For Equity Resiliency, Generation (Residential), General Market (Residential) budget categories: 

When asked, “Has experienced at least two discrete PSPS events?” 

– Select Yes if you have experienced two or more discrete PSPS events, or one PSPS event and one 
de-energization or power outage from an actual wildfire that occurred on or after January 1, 2017. 


For Generation (Non-Residential), General Market (Non-Residential) budget categories:

discrete PSPS events?”

- Select Yes if the host customer provides critical facilities or infrastructure to one or more communities in a 
Tier 3 or Tier 2 High Threat Fire District (HTFD) or a community with customers whose electricity was shut off during two or more discrete PSPS events, or one PSPS event and one de-energization or power outage from an actual wildfire that occurred on or after January 1, 2017. 


For Equity Resiliency (Non-Residential) budget category: 

Does the host customer provide critical services or infrastructure during a PSPS event to a community that is at least partially located in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 HFTD and eligible for the equity budget? 

– Select Yes if the host customer provides critical services or infrastructure during a PSPS event to a 
community that is at least partially located in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 HFTD, or a community with customers whose 
electricity was shut off during two or more discrete PSPS events, or one PSPS event and one de-energization or power outage from an actual wildfire that occurred on or after January 1, 2017 and eligible for the equity 
budget.

SGIP Stakeholders,

Effective December 16, 2021, California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) issued a disposition on the SGIP 
Advice Letter 4481-G/6316-E approving the updated SGIP Handbook to reflect recent changes from CPUC 
Decision (D.) 21-06-005.

As of January 5th, 2022, you may start drafting SGIP incentive applications for all Generation Projects as the Database has been updated with the new Handbook modifications implementing D.21-06-005. This Decision also removed the pause on applications related to Renewable Generation Projects that use a 
capture/use/destroy baseline; however, applications for projects that use a capture/use/destroy baseline will 
be required to remain in “RRF Draft” status until January 12th, 2022. 

Please contact your SGIP Program Administrator for additional information.

On December 16, 2021, the California Public Utilities Commission approved Decision 21-12-031. This 
Decision requires the SGIP Program Administrators (PAs) to immediately allocate all accumulated unallocated funds, approximately $67 million, to the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) energy storage budgets: (1) first to energy storage budgets with waitlisted applications as of the date of adoption of this decision, with priority given to waitlisted Equity Resiliency budget, Equity and then General Market applications; (2) after all waitlisted applications have been served, the decision allocates remaining funds, if any, to Equity Resiliency 
budgets.

In order to comply with this Decision, the PAs will be assigning funds to the projects on the waitlist as of the 
date of the Decision approval over the next few weeks. During this time, no projects on the waitlist for the 
affected budget categories will be assigned funding from attrition. PAs will also reach out to the participant(s) 
for any projects for which partial funds may be available to offer first right of refusal. This process is expected to be completed on January 3, 2022, with the projects for which funding is assigned receiving notices on 
January 4, 2022. After this process is complete, the waitlist will resume automatic operation with funds being assigned to projects on the waitlist as attrition occurs funds become available. 

If you have any questions about this process, please contact your respective PA.

On January 10, 2022 the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) will open Step 4 for the following territory and budget category:

Southern California Edison:
•	Energy Storage General Market Budget
o	Large-Scale Storage

Previous CPUC Decisions required SCE to reallocate all Step 4 Large-Scale Storage funding to other budget categories.  SCE Step 4 Large-Scale Storage budget is attrition dollars made available up to the date of 
opening.  Please refer to the SGIP Program Metrics for available funds.

CPUC Decision D.19-08-001 (http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Published/G000/M310/K260/310260347.PDF) requires that legacy applications (applications submitted to the SGIP application portal prior to April 
1st, 2020) adhere to one of the three compliance pathways detailed below. Developers have the option every December to change their selected pathway from the previous year, effective for the forthcoming year. 
Developers may select a new compliance pathway during the enrollment period of December 1st, 2020 
through December 15th, 2020.  

Option 1: RTE Pathway:
      • Legacy projects must comply with the annual RTE requirement of 66.5 percent in place at the time the 
        project was approved.

Option 2: Storage Rate/DR Pathway:
      • The annual RTE requirement does not apply but the project must enroll in an economic demand 
        response (DR) program integrated into the CAISO or a future demand response auction mechanism 
        (DRAM) offering, or in an approved storage rate.

Option 3: Zero GHGs Pathway:
      • Developer fleets must reduce GHGs to zero kg/kWh rated capacity, assessed annually; and, the annual 
        RTE requirement does not apply.

Please note that all legacy applications will automatically default to their current Compliance Pathway if a new selection is not made during the enrollment period. If you wish to select an alternate pathway, you must 
submit the form at the link below between December 1st, 2020 through December 15th, 2020. 

GHG Pathway Compliance Form: https://forms.gle/Rzyu68v2YBxWtHss8

Thank you for your continued participation in the program. If you are not changing the Compliance Pathway, 
no further action or response is needed for your project(s). Please use the Public Report (https://www.selfgenca.com/report/public/) to determine the Application Codes associated with your Developer Company.

PG&E has launched its Public Safety Power Shutoff Address Lookup Tool

PG&E now hosts on its website a tool customers can utilize to determine how many PSPS events they’ve 
experienced. Customers can look up their PG&E address to determine if their property has been impacted by two or more PSPS events, which is an Equity Resiliency eligibility criteria. The tool will be updated within 30 
days of the most recent PSPS event.

Option To Opt-In To New Incentive Step-down Structure Currently Available To New General Market 
Residential Projects

For General Market Small Residential Storage projects with discharge duration greater than 2 hours that were on the Step 5 waitlist and have been assigned to Step 6:

Due to recent program modifications adopted by Decision (D.)20-07-015, Resilient General Market Small 
Residential Storage applications that have been approved by the AHJ to grid island and provide backup 
power in the event of a grid outage can opt-in to the new incentive step-down structure in which 100% of the 
incentive base rate is available for systems with durations of up to 4 hours (Handbook Table 5.3.3). 

For Example: Step 6 = $0.20/Wh (Base incentive)

Discharge Duration (hours) x % of Base incentive

Current incentive step-down structure
0 – 2 hours = 100% of Base incentive
2 – 4 hours = 50% of Base incentive
4 – 6 hours = 25% of Base incentive
6+ = 0% of Base incentive

If electing to opt-in for a Resilient System:

Revised incentive step-down structure
0 - 4 hours = 100% of Base incentive 
4 - 6 hours = 50% of Base incentive 
6+ = 0% of Base incentive

To opt-in to this revised incentive structure, the SGIP applicant must first upload a completed Customer 
Resiliency Attestation (bit.ly/3nQDiuz) to the SGIP portal.

Once this document has been uploaded to the SGIP portal, you may request review of your project for this 
change by registering your project at the following link: forms.gle/kH2LnS9zaK1wwQnN9

Only projects that have submitted a Customer Resiliency Attestation prior to registering will be considered a 
complete request for evaluation. Requests will be reviewed in the order received and will be subject to 
funding availability to support an increase to the current incentive value of the application. This link will be 
active through Dec. 31, 2020. Requests received after Dec. 31, 2020 can be submitted directly to your 
Program Administrator.

SGIP PAs

The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) General Market budgets will be updated to reflect program 
modifications directed in CPUC Decisions 20-01-021 and 20-07-015. The opening schedule below is 
dependent on disposition of the Implementation Advice Letters for these Decisions and is subject to change.   

On Monday, October 5th, 2020:
   o   The General Market Small Residential Storage projects currently on the waitlist will be assigned to Step 
        6 in the order received.
   o   Applicants may begin drafting new Small Residential Storage applications for submission on the opening 
        date, below.
   o   The General Market Large-Scale Storage Reservation Request Form will be updated with fields to meet 
        the new eligibility requirements. Applications submitted on or after this date will require new 
        requirements be met.
   o   Database updates necessary to calculate the revised incentives for the General Market Renewable 
        Generation Budget are forthcoming; however, applicants wishing to apply to this budget prior to these 
        updates should contact their program administrator to discuss manual submission adjustments.  
        Applications submitted on or after this date must use a “vented” baseline and will be subject to the 
        new rules and incentive rates.
           •   Note: per D. 20-01-021 applications for renewable projects using a use/capture/destroy or “flared” 
               baseline are currently paused pending a renewable gas workshop and subsequent CPUC direction.

On Monday, October 12th, 2020: 
   o   New Small Residential Storage applications can be submitted into the Small Residential Step 6.

Please refer to the FAQ about these program changes at: http://selfgenca.com/documents/faq_reopening

Information on the opening date and increased incentive rates for Generation budgets is forthcoming.

Dear SGIP Participant,

The SGIP Program Administrators (PAs) would like to provide you with an update regarding the review of
your Step 1 and/or Step 2 SGIP energy storage Reservation Request status. The PAs have received a high 
volume of applications, and are currently working with several equipment manufacturers and developers on 
application documents affecting multiple projects. We hope to resolve these issues shortly, so that we can 
resume review of individual SGIP applications in a timely manner.

The PAs are working diligently to get these issues resolved as quickly as possible. Thank you for your 
patience and understanding. Please contact the PAs if you have any questions or concerns.

Warm Regards,

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E)

Per the Assigned Commissioner’s Ruling** on Proposed Refinements to the Self-Generation Incentive
Program filed on June 2, 2017, the SGIP Program Administrators (PAs) intend to comply with the
Commissioner’s direction to delay Step 3 opening for both energy storage budget categories until the
proposed policies are approved. Once a Decision is issued, the PAs will work to incorporate any new policies
into the program and set a Step 3 opening date. 

Step 2 in CSE’s territory for the Small Residential energy storage budget is closed effective July 15, 2017. No
new applications may be submitted to this budget category until Step 3 opens at a later date. Step 2 remains
open for Large-Scale Storage.

** You may reference the Assigned Commissioner's Ruling here: 
    http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/SearchRes.aspx?docformat=ALL&docid=189136189

The Self-Generation Incentive Program has fully subscribed and closed both the Small Residential Energy 
Storage and Large-Scale Energy Storage incentive budgets for Step 1. Applicants may begin revising and/or creating energy storage applications for submission for Step 2 incentives. 

Please make note of the following important dates:

Monday, June 5: Applicants may submit completed Step 2 applications at www.selfgenca.com

Small Residential Energy Storage and Large-Scale Energy Storage developer caps will be fixed for Step 2 on Monday, May 22.

Please note the following incentive rates for Step 2:

Large-Scale Storage: $0.40/Wh
Large-Scale Storage + ITC: $0.29/Wh
Small Residential Storage: $0.40/Wh

If you are resubmitting an application that was rejected from Step 1, the Reservation Request Form for the 
new incentive amount must be resigned by all parties. You may also replace the original application fee for 
5% of the revised incentive amount. 

Incentive funds for Step 1 are still available for Generation projects statewide.
