The CPUC is currently conducting an extended Mobile Home Park
Utility (MHP) Upgrade Pilot Program to convert master-metered gas
and/or electric facilities to direct utility service.
Decision D20-04-004 established a 10-year MHP Upgrade Program,
with new applications being accepted beginning January 1, 2021.
This program will be available in PG&E service territory, the
largest territory in California. PG&E supports the enhanced
safety, reliability and cost-saving opportunities this program
provides for mobilehome park owners and will be among the
companies that will perform the conversions with the majority of
the costs being covered for the mobilehome park owners and
residents under PG&E Rule 28. PG&E encourages mobilehome
park owners to apply for this program early next year.
The MHP Utility Conversion Program’s next application period will
be from January 1, 2021 to March 30, 2021. The initial
application process represents the first step for mobilehome park
owners to receive new, professionally installed gas and/or
electric systems that comply with utility leading standards and
requirements. In addition to receiving safety and service
upgrades, residents will become direct IOU customers who can
apply for energy savings and assistance programs. Mobilehome park
owners who have previously applied will not need to reapply in
this next application period. As an example of what the
application for this program will look like, the previous version
of the application when it was a pilot program can be found
here. The Form Of Intent will likely be updated under
the new decision, but should be consistent for the new
application period in January 2021.
