SDG&E Announces 1,500th Renewable Energy Customer

0 Comments | Renewable Energy Today, August 18, 2004

San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) recently announced that the 1,500th local customer has begun providing wind- and solar-powered energy to the region's energy grid.

According to the company, SDG&E's net metering program allows customers who install small renewable energy systems to qualify for special meters that run backwards when their individual system is providing energy to the company's electrical grid.

"With systems actively soaking up rays on four public buildings, county government is all charged up about solar power," said San Diego Regional Energy Office (SDREO) County Board chairperson Dianne Jacob. "This clean, renewable power is tailor-made for people and businesses in sunny San Diego, especially East County where the sun shines nearly every day of the year."
