Pacific Gas and Electric Company ("PG&E") is issuing its Distribution Investment Deferral Framework (DIDF) Partnership Pilot ("DIDF Partnership Pilot") in compliance with California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") Decision 21-02-006, February 12, 2021. The DIDF Partnership Pilot is designed to procure Distributed Energy Resources (DER) to avoid or defer utility distribution investments.
The Partnership Pilot is a five-year DER distribution deferral tariff pilot, which involves a tiered payment structure paid to aggregators of behind-the-meter (BTM) DERs who partner with the IOUs to dispatch the DERs to meet grid needs according to their contractual obligations.
Traditionally, utilities like PG&E invest in the electric grid to ensure the energy needs of their customers are met. Through the DIDF Partnership Pilot, customers can be part of the solution in managing electric loads. The DIDF Partnership Pilot will allow DER providers to work directly with PG&E customers to demonstrate support of the growing grid and potentially allow for the deferral of traditional utility investments.
