Self-Generation Incentive Program

CSE administers the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) in the San Diego Gas & Electric territory, providing rebates to utility customers for installing clean and energy-efficient energy technologies that lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce on-site electrical demand.

CSE is the only SGIP third-party administrator in California and, as such, plays a critical role in the adoption of distributed generation and energy storage projects throughout the region. Through SGIP, CSE provides technical and financial assistance to those interested in advancing energy storage, fuel cells, wind, waste energy recovery, pressure reduction turbines and combined heat and power technologies.

In response to climate change and increasing wildfire threats and power outages, SGIP currently funds primarily energy storage projects with a focus on fire-prone, low-income and disadvantaged communities.
