“Self-generation” refers to distributed generation technologies (wind turbines and fuel cells) installed on the customer’s side of the utility meter that provide electricity for a portion or all of that customer’s electric load.
There are two incentive programs available to SDG&E customers.
The program provides financial incentives for the installation of new, qualifying self-generation equipment. In SDG&E’s service territory the CPUC approved program runs through January 1, 2012.
The Self-Generation Incentive Program complements the California Energy Commission’s (CEC) Emerging Renewables Rebate Program, which traditionally provides the majority of its incentive funding to fuel cells and wind turbines less than 50 kW in size.
