Awards and recognition

San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) Sustainable Communities Program has received two national awards. This program promotes construction of highly energy efficient and sustainably designed buildings by providing technical assistance and cash incentives to builder/owners and design teams of commercial and multi-family residential new construction projects.

The program was honored with the Solar Electric Power Association’s (SEPA) Solar Business Achievement Award in the category of “Innovative Solar Program Design.” The awards are given to recognize utilities and partnering companies for their outstanding efforts to make solar a mainstream electricity option. The Sustainable Communities Program was also recognized as an "Exemplary Program” by The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE).
