CA CERRI Program — state grid resilience funding
Key Questions
What is the Community Energy Reliability and Resilience Investment (CERRI) Program?
CERRI funds statewide grid hardening and energy resilience projects in California. It serves as an analog to VGRIP and SPARK, supporting repairs and exemptions amid rising demand and storms.
How does CERRI stack with other California programs?
CERRI stacks with initiatives like IID's $20M+ repairs and CEQA exemptions. It supports projects such as CAISO's selection of LS Power's 230kV undergrounding.
What vehicle-to-grid innovations relate to California's grid resilience?
Tesla's Cybertruck became California's first AC vehicle-to-grid asset through PG&E, enabling power sales back to the grid. This aligns with CERRI's resilience goals.
