The Advanced Energy Build (AEB) program offers developers technical guidance and cash incentives in order to build high-performing and resilient homes for Sonoma and Mendocino county. You can find the latest program guidelines in the program handbook.
Affordable homes built are now eligible for enhanced incentives from SCP. All-electric single family homes can receive $5,000, while affordable multifamily units can earn $1,750. Additionally, Advanced Energy Build is offering battery storage bonuses of $5,000 per single family home and up to $25,000 for multifamily developments.
