On-Bill Financing Lighting Eligibility Changes

California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) has issued a ruling which introduces significant changes to the OBF Program: Projects with single end-use lighting measures that make up more than 20% of the total project cost are no longer eligible for OBF. Read on to find out about the new requirements, deadlines, and the new On-Bill Repayment (OBR) program.

Policy Reminder: Change of Property Ownership During Energy Upgrade

If one of your customers is planning to change ownership of the building, SCE recommends that you complete Express and Customized Solutions projects prior to the change of ownership. As you know, to complete a project, you must submit a completed Incentives Application, which includes customer and service account numbers. When a building is sold, those customer and service account numbers are closed and cannot be used to process pending incentive payments. In these cases, SCE's policy requires that a new Incentive Application is submitted that reflects the new customer information, including customer contact information, and customer and service account numbers.
