Note from the editor Here at Utility Dive, we’re always looking to decipher the industry and provide you with actionable information on power markets and policies across the nation.
Those dynamics are complex — and perhaps none more so than California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program, the nation’s largest state incentive program for energy storage.
The program has $448 million available to dole out to behind-the-meter storage devices in the coming years, but securing that funding is an exceedingly complicated process that has undergone major changes since its last allocations.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with Strategen Consulting to launch “Customer-Sited Energy Storage In California,” a new practical guide to the SGIP program. Perfect for developers, policymakers and researchers alike, the report lays out the structure of the program, the application process and a number of winning value propositions for storage in the CAISO market.
You can download a free executive summary and purchase the full report here. In our feature story today, Peter Maloney breaks down the finer points of the SGIP structure as well as some broad market projections.
This foray into research is new for Utility Dive, so we’d appreciate any feedback to the email link below.
