Public agencies in SNEW territory that receive electricity or gas services from PG&E can now take advantage of increased incentives from the California Energy Design Assistance (CEDA) program! CEDA promotes the electrification and decarbonization of new building construction or major renovation. Additionally, this program will provide participants with an analysis of energy costs and paybacks, along with financial incentives to help offset the costs of decarbonization measures. CEDA works in collaboration with project teams to reduce energy demand, consumption, and carbon emissions.
This program would be beneficial for public agencies or school districts in the early stages of planning new construction or a substantial building retrofit. By enrolling in CEDA, participants can benefit from no-cost energy modeling, financial incentives, and design team bonuses, including up to $4,000 for design professionals. This will help offset the cost of implementing energy-efficient systems like heat pumps, efficient controls, and all-electric equipment. Incentives are based on net first-year energy savings. Eligibility for CEDA includes:
Incentives are based on verified energy savings, rewarding projects that go beyond standard practice and contribute to California’s decarbonization goals. By engaging early, project teams can unlock maximum incentives, achieve lasting energy savings, and demonstrate leadership in the clean energy transition.
