2026 California Mandate | Action Required

Your Electric Fleet Should Be Paying You

California businesses operating electric forklifts and EVs can earn $10K–$50K+ per quarter through the LCFS program. Most aren’t collecting a dime.

THE OPPORTUNITY

EVERY CHARGE EARNS YOU MONEY

California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard pays businesses for avoiding carbon emissions. If you operate electric forklifts, material handling equipment, or EVs, you’re already generating credits that can be sold for cash; quarterly, automatically.

Think of it as a rebate check for running clean equipment you already own. The only question is whether you’re set up to collect it.

2026 Requirements

THE RULES CHANGED. ARE YOU COMPLIANT?

Starting this compliance year, the state mandates direct metering for all LCFS credits. Estimates no longer qualify. Four requirements now apply to every participating business:

  • Direct metering only
  • Revenue-grade accuracy
  • Third-party verification
  • 24-month data retention

 

We set up the monitors. You collect the credits.

Pacific Energy Concepts™ manages the full installation from site visit to commissioning the monitors; wireless sensors, cloud reporting, and audit-ready data storage included.

Free site assessment

We visit your facility, evaluate your equipment, and give you a clear idea of how we can bring your facility into compliance so you can start generating income with the program.

Installation and setup

Our team installs wireless monitoring devices; revenue-grade accurate, fully compliant, zero downtime for your operation.

Data Verification

Our cloud platform automatically tracks every kWh, retains 24 months of interval data, and prepares reports for third-party auditors.

Quarterly revenue

Credits are sold by a third party on the open market. You receive payment quarterly. No ongoing effort required on your end.


What businesses ask us first

WHO QUALIFIES?

Any California business operating electric vehicles, forklifts, or material handling equipment that uses electricity as fuel. If you’re charging electric equipment in California, you likely qualify.

HOW MUCH CAN I EARN?

It depends on fleet size. Businesses with 20+ forklifts typically earn $10,000 – $50,000+ per quarter. We provide a specific estimate during your free site assessment.

WHAT'S THE ROI?
Once the revenue grade meters are installed, ROI can be as fast as 6 months to 1 year
I'M ALREADY IN THE LCFS PROGRAM. DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING?

If you’re still using estimates instead of direct metering, you’re out of compliance in 2026. We can audit your current setup and upgrade what’s needed.

HOW LONG DOES SETUP TAKE?

From assessment to first credit generation: 4–8 weeks, depending on fleet size and site complexity.
