Sunrun, PG&E expand collaboration on distributed power plant

Through an exclusive partnership with Pacific Gas and Electric Company, PG&E (PCG), Sunrun (RUN) quickly reached maximum enrollment and energy capacity goals of 7,500 new and existing residential solar-plus-storage systems and 30 megawatts in the Energy Efficiency Summer Reliability Program, also known as Peak Power Rewards. Due to very strong interest, the program quickly expanded to 8,500 customers and 34 megawatts, respectively. “As we make significant progress in fortifying the grid and fostering partnerships with energy providers like PG&E, home storage networked into distributed power plants emerge as invaluable assets,” said Mary Powell, CEO of Sunrun. “This program extension plays a unique and positive role in enhancing our state’s electric grid, reinforcing our commitment to empowering customers and communities with greater energy resilience and energy security to consumers, in a time where outages have become increasingly more common.”
