In accordance with Ordering Paragraph ("OP") 40 of D. 21-06-015, SDG&E will host a virtual public workshop from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on September 27, 2022, to introduce the preliminary implementation plans for its Pilot Plus and Pilot Deep 2.0 program. The Energy Savings Assistance ("ESA") Pilot Plus and Pilot Deep 2.0 packages, which will be piloted by PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, and SDG&E to low-income households within each IOU service territory, are designed to result in energy savings targets expected at 5 to 50 percent. Stakeholders will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback during and after the workshop. All comments must be received by Wednesday, October 5, 2022.
Pilot Plus/Pilot Deep Overview:
D. 21-06-015 approved the Energy Division ("ED") Staff Proposal's Tier 2 ("Pilot Plus") and Tier 3 ("Pilot Deep") packages and allocated approximately $104 million to pilots within the service territories of PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, and SDG&E. Pilot Plus and Pilot Deep, which are intended for low-income households that qualify for the ESA program, are designed to result in energy savings targets expected at 5 to 50 percent. D. 21-06-015 states that through the pilots, the IOUs will gather data on the feasibility of strategic measures delivery, including electrification measures, the level of investment required for such deep energy retrofits, the realized savings (energy savings and bill impacts) to the household, the long term benefits of these treatments (including non-energy benefits), and the cost effectiveness of each treatment tier. The Pilot Plus package will offer certain equipment and appliance replacements and load shifting technologies, including electrification measures, in addition to any IOU basic package measures not already installed, that will reduce annual energy usage by 5 to 15 percent. The Pilot Deep package will offer the more advanced, and likely more expensive measures that will achieve a 15 to 50 percent reduction in annual energy usage, in addition to any Basic and Plus package measures not already installed.
