The Standard Performance Contract (SPC) Program will place all applications approved after September 1, 2008 on a waitlist. Projects on the waitlist and installed in 2008 will not be guaranteed for incentive payments. Contact your SCE Account Representative or call (800) 736-4777 for more information.

The SPC program offers financial incentives to offset the capital cost of installing high efficiency equipment or systems. Project examples may include common retrofits like lighting, HVAC and refrigeration upgrades, or more specialized process improvements and customized equipment replacements. Retrofit or new equipment installations are eligible.

Incentives are based on the type of measure installed and the kilowatt-hour (kWh) saved over a 12-month period. Applicants are eligible to receive up to 50% of the cost for each measure type.

The incentive limitation is $2,400,000 annually, per customer site.
