TABLE 8.2 CSI POWER ALLOCATION BY CUSTOMER SECTOR

CUSTOMER SECTOR POWER (MW) PERCENT
Residential 557.5 33%
Nonresidential 1172.50 67
Total 1750 100

The CSI power production targets shown in Table 8.3 are based on the premise that
solar power industry production output and client sector awareness will gradually be
increased within the next decade and that the incentive program will eventually pro-
mote a viable industry that will be capable of providing tangible source or renewable
energy base in California.

Incentive Payment Structure

As mentioned in the preceding, the CSI offers PBI and EPBB incentive programs,
both of which are based on verifiable PV system output performance. EPBB incentive
output characteristics are basically determined by factors such as the location of solar
