Energy Efficiency Partnership Programs» The SCG 2013‐2014 Partnership programs build on the success of the
2010‐2012 programs and add a number of new partnerships. Our goal is toprovide services to local communities, cities and facilities belonging to local governments that can help them reduce both operating costs and green house gas emission levels through energy‐efficiency.
» Three types of Partnership Programs: Local Government Institutional Other (with entities not categorized above but we still manage)
» The goal of the SCG Partnership Programs is to focus on the following:
1. Increase EE opportunities in State and Local Municipal Buildings
2. Support California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan
3. Promote and support Utility Core Programs
4. Provide technical assistance and incentives to Partners

Energy Efficiency Calculated Incentive Programs (EECIP):The EECIP offers financial incentives and recognition awards for a variety of energy‐saving projects. The incentive is based on yearly therm savings. The more therms you save, the greater your incentive. Calculated incentives are awarded as follows: Incentives are paid at $1.00 per therm saved, up to $1,000,000 per project, and up to
$2,000,000 per premise per year or 50 % of the project cost.
Under this program, the customer will need to follow a multi‐step process using forms supplied specifically for this program by account representatives.
Forms and approval must be obtained prior to purchasing the equipment. Additionally, pre‐ and post‐inspections may be required.
EECIP includes both retrofit and new construction (NOT commercial new construction).

Municipal & Commercial Programs:Energy-Efficiency Services
Financing Options:On-Bill Financing
8
Project: Must qualify for a utility rebate/incentive program (commercial, industrial, taxpayer‐funded,
and non‐owner occupied Multifamily housing). Non‐Public Purpose Program (PPP) ratepayer‐funded sustainable revolving loan pool of $3.5M. Loan term is tied to the payback period of the project. Customers can receive both an OBF loan and a rebate or an incentive.
Credit: Applicant’s account must be in good standing. Applicant must be a customer of the utility (active account) for at least 24 months in the
same business, with at least 12 months of energy usage data at the current location.
Other Requirements: Energy audit; pre‐/post‐inspection. Loan is non‐transferable. Loan Default will result in Meter shut‐off.
Interest‐free, On‐Bill financing for installation of energy‐efficiency measures covered by the SoCalGas rebate/incentive programs.
9
Financing Options:On-Bill Financing
Loan Benefits: 0% interest, unsecured, non‐transferable. Energy savings of project covers the loan installment. Monthly loan payment is included on the utility bill.
Loan Amounts: $5,000 to $100,000 per meter for NON‐INSTUTIONAL customers. $5,000 to $250,000 per meter for INSTITUTIONAL customers (taxpayer‐
funded institutions such as counties, cities, school districts, etc.) Eligible State of California accounts may qualify for up to $1,000,000.
Loan Term: Loan term is tied back to the payback period; 10 years or useful
equipment life (whichever is shorter) for local government institutions, including State of California accounts.
Five years or useful equipment life (whichever is shorter) for all other businesses.
On-Bill Financing:New Feature: Combined Premises
This “Combined‐Premises ” feature allows institutional customers to aggregate projects on different sites of the same customer as one so that the resulting combined total loan amount or overall project payback can meet OBF’s minimum loan floor or maximum project payback requirements.
This new feature is developed to assist institutional customers upgrade certain gas using equipment common to multiple sites to higher efficiencies with zero percent financing. Without it, some energy efficiency opportunities may not be pursued due to lack of funding. For example, smaller equipment such as instantaneous water heaters are not likely to meet the minimum loan requirement individually.

Residential Programs:Energy Upgrade California™
A comprehensive “whole house” approach which looks at the home as a ‘system”.
Simultaneous upgrades designed to make your home’s energy systems work together efficiently.
Statewide Website:EnergyUpgradeCA.org
SoCalGas Website:socalgas.com/upgrade1888‐871‐0345
SCE Website:SCE.com/upgrade
SDG&E Website:sdge.com/energyupgrade
Program: The Energy Upgrade California program was created to help California reduce energy use. It is a collaboration among California counties, cities, non‐profit organizations, the state’s investor‐owned utilities, and publicly owned utilities. Funding for this effort came from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA, also known as federal stimulus funds), California utility ratepayers, and private contributions. Incentives are administered by participating utilities; SoCalGas ®, Southern California Edison,® Pacific Gas and Electric Company® and San Diego Gas & Electric® .
Objectives:1. Contribute to California Long Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan goals. Residential energy use will be transformed to ultra‐high levels of efficiency by 2020. The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) industry will be reshaped to
ensure optimal equipment performance. All eligible low‐income homes will be energy‐efficient by 2020.2. Build awareness of Whole House Approach.3. Create a sustained market and jobs.4. Change long term consumer behavior.
Upcoming changes (effective April 1, 2013) ‐ County of Los Angeles/RENs (Regional Energy Network) As mandated by the CPUC all IOU’s are to work with local governments (i.e. the County of Los Angeles, South Bay REN) to implement Energy Efficient Programs. Local Governments were granted authority to implement their own Energy Upgrade program (Flex Path). Final program designs will be coordinated between the IOU’s and RENs. This will be submitted via Advice Letter no later than April 1, 2013.
