To do that, you will need to check your local census data for median income in your area, whether you live in defined high fire threat zone, or you are a medical baseline customer, or a customer that has notified their utility of severe illness or condition that could become life-threatening if electricity is disconnected, or rely on electric pump wells for water supplies.

• If you are eligible for the equity budget, you can get up to $850 per kWh of energy storage installed. For equity resiliency, the value goes up to $1000 per kWh.

• If you are not eligible for these budgets, the General market storage budget will be applicable to you:

The regular small residential budget for energy storage systems with less than 10kW power output (this budget will provide you $200 per kWh of energy storage installed in the latest step-6 of the budget)..

The large-scale storage budget for energy storage systems with greater than 10kW power output (this budget will provide you $250 per kWh of energy storage installed in the latest step-3 of the budget)

For detailed eligibility criteria for the budgets refer to the CPUC website.
