CALSSA Policy Webinar: NEM, Prevailing Wage + 2024 Legislation

CALSSA Policy Webinar
NEM, Prevailing Wage, SGIP & 2024 Proposed Legislation (NEW!)

Wednesday, February 21 | 10:30 AM - Noon PT

We will discuss adding capacity to NEM systems. NEM-1 and NEM-2 customers can add capacity without losing NEM status on the existing system if the new capacity is managed as non-export. Find out how to design these systems and get utility approval.

We will also talk about the recent SGIP Proposed Decision, which would allocate $280 million to low-income customers and potentially $80 million for the general market. 

We will discuss prevailing wage – AB 2143 is now in effect for all commercial systems. We will review all of the rules on the law and discuss the latest on implementation.

Plus, a recent addition to the webinar: we’ll discuss the biggest bills introduced for this legislative session and what they mean for our industry. Join us!
