Created by Assembly Bill (AB) 205 (Ting, Chapter 61, Statutes of 2022) as part of the Strategic Reliability Reserve, the Distributed Electricity Backup Assets (DEBA) Program offers incentives for building cleaner and more efficient distributed energy assets. These distributed energy assets will serve as on-call emergency supply or load reduction for the state’s electrical grid during extreme events. These program guidelines for the DEBA Program establish the rules for the program, including eligibility requirements, participation process, and incentive structure.
