- Participate in the Program
By enrolling your home battery system, you will earn incentives for allowing your Mass Save Sponsor to draw energy stored in your battery during times of peak electricity demand.
Your Mass Save Sponsor will automatically send a signal to your system no more than 60 times per summer, with each event lasting a maximum of three hours. Summer events will occur on non-holidays between June 1 and September 30, between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. - Receive Incentives
Your Mass Save Sponsor will pay $275 per kilowatt (kW) for your battery’s average contribution during summer events.
For a typical battery capable of a 5-kW continuous contribution during these events, customers could receive up to $1,375 per year of participation.
Battery Storage
Earn incentives and lower carbon emissions by enrolling a battery storage system in ConnectedSolutions.
The Sponsors of Mass Save offer incentives for reducing energy use during periods of peak electricity demand.
A battery storage system operates like a rechargeable phone, tablet, or laptop battery, but on a much larger scale. Many residents use battery storage systems to be prepared for power outages.
Through ConnectedSolutions, residents receive incentives for lowering and/or shifting electricity usage during times of peak demand (like hotter days during the summer). Residents will receive $275 per kilowatt (kW) for a battery’s average contribution during summer events.
Discover additional ways to electrify your home and lower your carbon footprint.
