Smart Renewable Energy Programs

We are now offering new renewable energy programs that are designed to be simpler and more equitable in the long term. These Smart Renewable Energy programs (also know as Smart DER) are available to new and existing customers. All participants in the Smart Renewable Energy programs must have an advanced meter and be enrolled in a Shift and Save rate. NEM and NEM+ customers are not required to transition to the new Smart Renewable Energy programs.

• Smart Renewable Energy Export provides export bill credits available to all renewable technologies with no project size limits.

Previous Programs

Customers in most existing programs will be able to transition to the new renewable energy programs.

• Customer Grid-Supply, Customer Grid-Supply Plus, and Smart Export customers will be transitioned to the Smart Renewable Energy Export program after 7 years in their current program. The earliest transitions will begin on Oct 1, 2024.
• Standard Interconnection Agreement and Customer Self-Supply customers will be given the option to transition to the Smart Renewable Energy Non-Export program.
• Battery Bonus customers will be given the option to transition to the Bring Your Own Device program.
• Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Net Energy Metering Plus (NEM Plus) customers are not impacted at this time. There will be no changes to NEM and NEM Plus.

Not able to install solar?

Not everyone is able to install solar panels but there is still a way to benefit from solar power without installing panels. Shared Solar is a program that allows customers to use solar power from a participating solar facility, also known as a subscriber organization. This works by allowing customers to purchase one time subscriptions to leverage the output of a solar facility against their consumption. Available facilities can be found on the Community-Based Renewable Energy Project Site
