CFL Companion Measure for Trade Professionals

As of December 31st, 2012, the Screw-In Compact Fluorescent Lamp Companion Measure promotion will no longer be offered. This decision was driven by PG&E’s focus on more advanced technology promotion and compliance with a regulatory direction to phase out screw-in bare spiral CFL lamp rebates from our programs.

The following companion measure codes will be retired: L852, L853, and L854.
