Join Energy Storage Rewards and get paid to help support grid stability!

Home batteries can help you store clean energy or simply provide backup energy in case you need it. By enrolling a qualifying battery system in TEP’s Energy Storage Rewards program, you will be rewarded for allowing Tucson Electric Power to use the energy stored in your battery during times of high demand. It’s a great way to be compensated for your investment, while supporting a cleaner energy future and affordable service. Customers who enroll in TEP’s Energy Storage Rewards program receive $120 per kilowatt (kW), averaged over all events during the summer or winter season.* For a typical battery, this could be $360 per season. Help reduce stress on the grid and earn rewards - it's a win-win!

HOW IT WORKS

Sign Up.

If you use a Tesla or SolarEdge battery storage system for your home, you may be eligible to participate.

Help make the grid more sustainable.

TEP will send signals to control batteries to support TEP’s clean energy goals and reduce the need for new power sources, keeping electric costs lower for everyone.

Earn Compensation.

Earn for helping to reduce stress on the grid. You will receive $120 per kilowatt (kW), averaged over all events during the season. Customers may receive an average of $360 per season. Actual compensation will vary based on the battery storage system size and performance.

A home battery energy storage system operates like a rechargeable AA or AAA battery, but at a much larger scale. Home battery systems can be charged when energy prices are lower and discharged when needed, such as when the power goes out (if your system configuration supports this) or when there is a TEP Energy Storage Rewards Program event.

By enrolling in TEP’s Energy Storage Rewards, you will be compensated for allowing TEP to use the energy stored in your battery storage system at times of high demand. For a typical battery, customers could receive $360 per season in this program. * However, actual compensation paid is based on battery storage system size and the performance of the battery system during peak events. How well a battery system performs depends on the battery storage system size, configuration, and internet connection. Please consult with your battery system installer to estimate your compensation.

You must remain enrolled in the program through the end of the season, and your battery systems must remain connected to Wi-Fi to receive the seasonal compensation.
