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 HFTD. The Financial Assistance pilot alleviates the need for customers to pay upfront costs and enables additional customers to participate in the program.

Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) Events
To protect customers and communities from the risk of wildfire, Liberty will temporarily turn off power when weather conditions present an increased fire risk. Power outages might be prolonged, lasting several days. In partnership with fire weather experts, Liberty monitors real-time weather data and forecasts and regularly tests fuel moisture during the fire season. If it is determined that the forecasted conditions meet or exceed safety thresholds, Liberty will initiate a PSPS. This practice of de-energization as a last resort for public safety is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

PSPS Alerts
In the event that a PSPS is a possibility, Liberty will attempt to contact customers through calls, texts and emails, using contact information on file. Call 800-782-2506 to update your account's contact information. An online account can be created through Liberty's website at https://california.libertyuti… [read more]
