Budgets
The table below shows the amount of ratepayer funds collected annually in each IOU service territory to fund energy efficiency program activities. By statute, funds must be spent in the service territory from which the funds were collected. Thus, for example, funds collected from PG&E customers may not be spent in SDG&E territory.
Proposals to implement programs on a statewide basis (or in more than one large IOU service territory), should estimate the amount of funding required from each utility using a proportional budget allocation.
