The small residential energy storage incentive budgets and large-scale energy storage incentive budgets for Step 3 and each subsequent Step shall be proportionately lowered to fund the new SGIP Equity Budget. For incentive Step 3 and subsequent incentive Steps, 10% of the Equity Budget shall be reserved for single family and multi-family low-income housing regardless of the size of the energy storage project (less than or greater than 10 kilowatts). Each developer accessing the SGIP Equity Budget in a given Step must not reserve incentives in excess of 20% of the total SGIP Equity Budget for that Step. Background Legislative and Procedural History California’s SelfGeneration Incentive Program (SGIP) was established in 2001 by the Commission in Decision (D.) 0103073 in response to Assembly Bill (AB) 970 (Ducheny, Stats. 2000, Ch. 329). AB 970 directed the Commission to provide incentives for distributed generation resources to reduce peak energy demand. Since 2001, the Legislature has refined and extended SGIP several times. During 2014 and 2015, the Commission acted to extend SGIP funding through 2019 and updated program eligibility criteria related to greenhouse gas emissions, pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 861 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, 2014). In 2016, the Commission adopted D.1606055, which made significant programmatic changes for how SGIP incentive dollars are awarded and other program refinements. On April 6, 2017, the Commission adopted D.17-04-017 doubling the budget for SGIP for years 2017-2019, pursuant to AB 1637 (Low, 2016).
