The customer-facing PG&E-branded program name for DAC-GT is Green Saver.
PG&E's DAC Programs ensure subscribing residential customers have access to 100% solar power generated in their local community.
Note: For the Winter 2024 DAC RFO, PG&E will only be seeking projects that meet the eligibility requirements of the DAC-GT program.
The Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) programs at PG&E are a result of Assembly Bill 327, which directed the IOUs to procure two new programs designed to promote the installation of renewable generation in DACs. This bill enacted the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) program and the Community Solar Green Tariff (CS-GT) program.
On May 30, 2024, the CPUC adopted the Green Access Programs Decision ("GAP Decision") D. 24-06-065. The GAP Decision discontinues the CS-GT program, and outlines modifications to the DAC-GT program. The available statewide capacity for the DAC-GT Program noted in the Decision is 144 MW.
Eligibility
PG&E's Winter 2024 Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) Request for Offer (RFO) solicitation Protocol has a complete list of eligibility criteria in addition to the DAC Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
PG&E will host a Participants' Webinar for the Winter 2024 Disadvantaged Communities RFO the week of January 6, 2025. A link will be posted on this website and market notice sent.
