29 Jan, 2024

Peaking at nearly 32 megawatts from 8,500 solar-plus-storage residential systems, Sunrun and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) customers provided consistent, reliable clean energy to California’s power grid through the summer and fall of 2023 through an exclusive partnership between PG&E and Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the nation’s leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service.

The Energy Efficiency Summer Reliability Program, also known as Peak Power Rewards, is a comprehensive and fully operationalized residential solar and storage distributed power plant. The program quickly achieved its maximum enrollment of 8,500 customers and provided a consistent average of 27 megawatts of power during evening peak hours for more than 90 consecutive days. With an instantaneous peak output of nearly 32 megawatts, the program frequently supplied the grid with up to 30 megawatts – sufficient power for more than 20,000 homes.
