PGE Smart Battery Pilot Program
Power your home, save money, and support Oregon’s clean energy future.
Leverage incentives to reduce your cost to acquire backup power.
The Portland General Electric (PGE) Smart Battery pilot offers financial incentives to Oregon homeowners who install battery storage systems. The program is helping PGE identify how home battery systems can cost-effectively increase renewable adoption and enhance grid reliability. While currently a pilot, the Smart Battery pilot is expected to evolve into a more valuable, full program in 2026.
Combine the Smart Battery pilot with Energy Trust of Oregon’s upfront incentive to get up to $4,800.
The PGE Smart Battery pilot only uses your battery 10 to 15 times per year – usually the hottest or coldest days. Your battery stays available for outages or whenever you need it and you’re always in control of how much energy you share. Sign up with your Fortress Power system to reduce your home’s impact on the environment and take control of your energy costs with clean, renewable energy from the sun.
