PG&E's Solar Choice Program (PG&E's Green Tariff Shared Renewables Program)

PG&E's Solar Choice program, established under Senate Bill 43 and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in Decision 15-01-051 on February 2, 2015, facilitates renewable energy resource procurement for institutional, commercial, and individual customers. The program expands access to renewable energy resources and requires advanced procurement under the sixth Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM 6). PG&E filed and received approval on a modification to the existing RAM Program Protocol and Appendices with components specific to the Solar Choice program. The program seeks Green-e Energy Certification from the Center for Resource Solutions to help customers and businesses ensure they are reducing the environmental impact of their electricity use.
