Access ICA map
The ICA map is designed to help contractors and developers find potential projects sites for DERs.
Urgent Alert
Integration Capacity Analysis and Distribution Investment Deferral Framework maps
The Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA) and Distribution Investment Deferral Framework (DIDF) maps are designed to help contractors and developers find information on potential project sites for Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). The maps include hosting capacity, forecast data, grid needs, and other information about PG&E's electric distribution grid.
The information on these maps is illustrative and is likely to change or be modified over time. PG&E's electric distribution system is dynamic. Circuits on the distribution system change for various reasons. Examples include, but are not limited to, circuit upgrades, new loads, new DERs, new circuits, and seasonal switching. Over time, a single location may have different results due to these changes.

PG&E has transitioned the PVRAM map data to the ICA and DIDF maps. All data is available on these maps.
Access DIDF (GNA/DDOR) map
The DIDF (GNA/DDOR) map shows assumptions and results of the distribution planning process that yield grid needs related to distribution grid services.
Interconnection Projects with PG&E
The data and maps on the DPR Data Access Portal do not provide any guarantees. All interconnections are subject to engineering review. Many factors affect interconnection capability and costs, and the maps do not guarantee that generators or load can interconnect at a specific site or in a specific time frame.
In addition, government permitting procedures may limit the suitability of a site. These procedures are designed to minimize environmental and land use impacts and are independent of PG&E's interconnection process.
Generation customers
Submit an interconnection application through the Interconnection Portal to determine requirements and costs based on the project's location, size, and application date compared with other projects in the same area.
Wholesale Distribution and Rule 21 Export customers
Submit an application through Your Projects. Customers are encouraged to use the Pre-Application process to get general engineering review of a specific site without committing to a project application or queue.
Submit an application for service using Your Projects.
Load customers requesting a new service, relocation, or change to an existing service can access online tools and resources.
The DIDF process leads to the DIDF Request for Offers (RFO) and the DIDF Partnership Pilot.
