Self-Generation refers to distributed generation technologies installed on the customer's side of the utility meter. The electricity generated by the system provides a portion or all of the customer's electric load. Through the SGIP, the California Center for Sustainable Energy provides incentives for up to 5 megawatts ( MW) of distributed generation equipment.

Wind Turbines	Fuel Cells (Renewable fuel)	Fuel Cells (Non-renewable fuel)	Advance Energy Storage
Incentive = $1.50/W Maximum Incentive Size = 1MW	Incentive = $4.50/W Maximum Incentive Size = 1MW	Incentive = $2.50/W Maximum Incentive Size = 1MW	Incentive = $2.00/W Maximum Incentive Size = 1MW
Minimum System Size = 30kW Maximum System Size = 5MW	Minimum System Size = 30kW Maximum System Size = 5MW	Minimum System Size = 30kW Maximum System Size = 5MW	Minimum System Size = Capped at DG system size Maximum System Size = 5MW
Rebates for wind turbines or fuel cells that generate less than 30 kW of energy, visit the California Energy Commission	Eligible Fuels: Renewable *  Digester gas *  Landfill gas *  Biomass Directed Biogas	Eligible Fuels: Non-Renewable *  Natural Gas *  Propane *  Waste Gas Must utilize waste heat recovery meeting PUC 216.6	Coupled with eligible self generation technology and four hour discharge period at rated capacity
