Self Generation Incentive Program Evaluation Reports

The CPUC and Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) Administrators (PAs) regularly evaluate the performance of SGIP and produce reports detailing the outcomes of that evaluation. This evaluation process is important to understand the impact of the program and to help refine the program in future years. As a condition of receiving incentive payments under the SGIP, System Owners and Host Customers agree to provide full access to site and system equipment and participate in Measurement and Evaluation (M&E) activities as required by the CPUC and SGIP PAs.  More information about this requirement can be found in the SGIP Handbook.  The SGIP PAs, on behalf of the CPUC, have contracted with Verdant Associates, LLC to conduct SGIP M&E activities for Program Years 2021 through 2023.
