PG&E is a Program Administrator of the statewide Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP), which is providing financial incentives for Medical Baseline customers installing new, qualifying equipment for storing energy for their homes.

The SGIP Equity Resiliency incentive is designed to allow customers to install a home battery storage system at no cost to them. In July 2020, PG&E was approved for the SGIP Marketing Education and Outreach Plan and Financial Assistance pilot, both of which are specifically focused on supporting Medical Baseline customers in High Fire Threat Districts (HFTD). The Financial Assistance pilot alleviates the need for customers to pay upfront costs and enables additional customers to participate in the program.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) provides a High Fire Threat District (HFTD) map to identify areas with elevated or extreme wildfire risks. 

This map is used by utility companies, such as PG&E, to determine eligibility for certain safety programs, including portable backup battery programs.

About the Map:

The CPUC High Fire-Threat District Map includes three fire-threat areas:

• Zone 1: Tier 1 High-Hazard Zones (HHZs) identified by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and CAL FIRE. These zones are near communities, roads, and utility lines and pose a direct threat to public safety.

• Tier 3: Areas with extreme wildfire risk, where the highest likelihood of fire initiation and growth exists. This tier requires the most stringent utility regulations to reduce fire risks.

Most of Nevada County and Placer County are designated as Tier 2 or Tier …
