The Disadvantaged Communities (DAC) programs at PG&E are a result of Assembly Bill 327, which directed the IOUs to procure two new programs designed to promote the installation of renewable generation in DACs. This bill enacted the Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) program and the Community Solar Green Tariff (CS-GT) program. For these programs, 199 MW have been allocated statewide allowing eligible participating utilities' residential customers to receive a 20% bill credit while obtaining 100 percent solar power energy from local solar resources.
