Table 1: Project Capacity and Budget summarizes the committed and remaining
budget for the SOMAH program authorized by AB 693. Track A provides incentives for projects
that require Upfront Technical Assistance. Track B provides incentives for projects that
do not require technical assistance and have identified an eligible contractor for the
project. Projects under Track A will have their incentive funds earmarked for a three-month
period prior to a Reservation Request.
Table 2: Cumulative Program Budget summarizes the program dollars collected to data, by fiscal year, and identifies application totals and available program funds. Any unused funds in one program year will roll over to become available in the next program year.
SOMAH data is current as of November 4, 2024.

future load additions, solar sizing tool recommendations, or other reasons.

1Collections begin with the fiscal year that commences July 1 and
end with the fiscal year ending June 30 of the following year.
2Investor Owned Utilities were directed to set aside additional funding in their
2020 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) and Energy Cost Adjustment Clause (ECAC) proceedings
to make up for under-collections in the 2016-2019 program years.
3Application Totals include capacity and budget values for Earmarked,
Pending Reservation, Reserved, and Completed projects.
4Decision (D.) 22-09-009 amended D.17-12-022, for the SOMAH forecast budgeting process.
Each IOU can propose to set aside their proportionate share of $100 million for SOMAH, if they
adequately show that the IOUs' collective revenue will exceed $100 million. The SOMAH PA releases
funds based on the IOUs’ set-asides, then true-up the final three months of the year once the IOUs
submit their Joint Advice Letter. 2022 figures will be amended through a true-up in 2023.
5SOMAH is funded using a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of greenhouse gas allowances
allocated to PG&E, SDG&E, SCE, Liberty Utilities and PacifiCorp and forecasted through their ERRA and ECAC
filings. Funds are released for the program after they are transferred to the respective IOUs’ balancing
accounts for the applicable collection year. The IOUs have varying cadences of funding release (quarterly
vs. annually) and include true-ups for prior years in the annual collections amount. As a result, there may
be a negative value displayed in Table 2 depending on cadence and values that are released for each
territory. Collections are authorized for the program through June 30, 2026 with funding available through
the life of the program, December 31, 2032.
