Large Business - Standard Performance Contract

Standard Performance Contract (SPC)

The SPC program offers financial incentives to offset the capital cost of installing new 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 and the kilowatts (kW) reduced over a 12-month period. Applicants are eligible to receive up to 50% of the total project cost.

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

Eligibility

SPC is open to all SCE business customers, regardless of size or energy usage, who:

1. receive services from SCE
2. pay the public purpose program surcharge listed on their SCE bill

Direct access, co-generation, or stand-by customers are eligible for incentives, however the savings and incentive may not exceed the amount of kWh purchased from SCE. The usage history is for the 12 months prior to applying to the program.

2009 Incentives Rates

Incentives are based on two factors:

1. The energy savings achieved beyond Title 24 or minimum industry standards. For the purpose of calculating savings, projects use Title 24 or minimum industry standard as the baseline, compared to the efficiency of the proposed equipment.
2. The amount of peak demand reduction resulting from the project. For more information refer to the SPC Procedures Manual.
