WHY YOU MAY BE HEARING FROM US
DOES YOUR HOUSEHOLD FIT ONE OF
THESE 3 PROFILES?
There are 3 common reasons a California homeowner may be included in our outreach: CARE participation, Medical Baseline participation, or higher household electricity usage.
01 / CARE
Currently receiving a CARE energy discount through your electric utility.
02 / MEDICAL BASELINE
Receiving an additional energy allowance for a qualifying medical need.
03 / HIGH-USAGE HOUSEHOLD
Your household consistently uses a higher amount of electricity and may benefit from reviewing available home-energy options.
FIT THE CUSTOMER PROFILE? THE NEXT STEP IS THE PROPERTY.
Your customer profile is the first step. Now we need to determine whether your home meets the property, electrical, energy-usage and provider requirements for an available home-energy option.
WHY HOME BATTERIES MATTER
WHY DOES YOUR UTILITY WANT BATTERIES ON HOMES?
California's electric grid experiences its greatest strain when thousands of homes need large amounts of electricity at the same time.
YOUR HOME: A home battery can store energy at your property.
YOUR ENERGY: Stored energy can help reduce how much electricity your home needs from the grid during high-demand periods.
GRID SUPPORT: When enrolled in an applicable Virtual Power Plant program, participating batteries can also help support the electric grid during qualifying grid events.
This is why California utilities are working with residential energy providers on battery and Virtual Power Plant programs — helping qualifying homes become less dependent on the grid during periods of high demand.
BATTERY BACKUP
Store energy at your home and have backup capability for selected household needs during qualifying outages, based on system configuration.
LOWER ENERGY RATE
Qualifying homeowners may receive an available home-energy option designed to provide a lower energy rate than their current applicable utility rate.
