SEPA award goes to PGandE for its solar energy programs, for the second time!

PGandE has interconnected more than 13,000 customers with solar generating systems to the power grid -- representing more than 100 megawatts and more than any other utility in the nation. In just the past 24 months, PGandE has interconnected nearly 4,000 customers representing 35 megawatts of solar power. PGandE has also provided more than $150 million in rebates to nearly 300 solar customers through the utility's self-generation incentive program, which helps offset the cost of installing solar and other forms of clean, on-site generation such as wind and fuel cells. And for all these work, an award from the Solar Electric Power Association.
his is the second time in two years that PGandE has received SEPA's Solar Business Achievement in the category of public awareness and industry leadership. This is also the first time SEPA has honored any company with a "repeat" award.
PGandE is hosting the Solar Power 2006 conference being held in San Jose from October 16 to 19. King made introductory remarks to welcome over 4,000 conference attendees, which I attended. I plan to attend next year as well.
