Previously limited to customers with 1.0-megawatt projects, the program now includes those who use up to 1.5 megawatts.While maximum size of eligible parties has been increased to 1.5 megawatts, the project incentive will still be scaled according to the first megawatt. Additionally, unused Self Generation Incentive annual funds will now carry over into the following year, and the Corporate Parent Cap Size has expanded to 1.5 megawatts per single project.
