Market Access Program (MAP)
Want to conserve energy and help support the electric grid, but not sure where to start? Through a variety of projects and equipment, SDG&E’s Market Access Program helps you reduce your electric use and save on your energy bill.
How Does MAP Work?
Qualified aggregators help you find projects and equipment that work for your business type or household lifestyle. From small changes to larger upgrades every little bit helps to reduce the strain on the electrical grid – especially during summer months.
The aggregator may use the MAP incentives to reduce the cost, perhaps to zero, of energy-saving equipment and provide a package of devices to form a project that will enable you to save on your electric bill for years to come.
Who Is Eligible?
Residential and commercial customers who meet the following criteria may be eligible for MAP.
Project Eligibility Requirements
- Project site must be in SDG&E service territory.
- Customer has an active SDG&E electric account.
- Customer pays the Public Purpose Program surcharge on the account where the energy efficiency (EE) equipment is to be installed.
- Twelve consecutive months of energy usage data are available.
- More than one CPUC ratepayer-funded energy efficiency incentive or rebate program does not cover the same cost of a measure, including but not limited to the Statewide Midstream programs (e.g., HVAC and Lighting).
- The project site does not have a change in on-site generation within the previous year. Specifically, the capacity of solar, thermal energy storage, or battery storage systems has not changed in 12 months and is not planning to change for the next 12 months.
- The Customer may not be enrolled in a wholesale Demand Response program under Rule 32.
- Customer sites with more than 1 MW of peak demand consumption will require additional screening to determine eligibility.
- Projects must comply with the NMEC Rulebook for permissible projects.
- Projects must be installed no later than June 30, 2025.
- Other requirements as noted in the MAP Implementation Plan, including the Program Manual and the M&V Plan.
How Is MAP Different from Other Energy Efficiency Programs?
MAP allows customers to take advantage of equipment and project types that are currently not being offered by SDG&E.
What Is an Aggregator?
A participating vendor or program partner who works with customers to generate energy efficiency and/or demand savings for a group of customers. Aggregators manage interactions and relationships with the customer from project identification to customer implementation.
Any questions should be directed to the individual aggregators.
