Overview

About this program

PG&E describes ELRP as a voluntary emergency demand response pilot for eligible businesses. Customers receive incentives for verified incremental load reduction during qualifying events. Enrollment groups, baseline rules and other program participation affect eligibility; use PG&E and its program administrator for current terms. ELRP should not be treated as a bid-in CAISO capacity portfolio.
