How Much Are The SGIP Rebates?

The CPUC has authorized funding of more than $1 billion in rebates through 2024 for SGIP. Any residential customer of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), or San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) is eligible for a General Market SGIP rebate of approximately $250/kilowatt-hour, or about 25% of the cost of an average battery system.

In addition to this General Market rebate, there are additional SGIP rebates categories that prioritize:

• Communities living in high fire-threat areas (Tier 2 or Tier 3 High Fire Threat Districts (HFTD))
• Communities that have experienced two or more utility Public Safety Power Shut-offs (PSPSs)
• Low income and medically vulnerable customers
• “Critical facilities” that support community resilience in the event of a PSPS or wildfire

Energy storage projects that meet the criteria for these additional rebates can receive $850-$1,000 per kWh of battery storage installed. This increased rebate rate is believed to increase access to battery storage for the most vulnerable customers by covering almost the entire cost of installing battery storage.
