Pacific Power Wattsmart Battery Program

Homeowners and businesses can take advantage of several incentives to almost fully cover the cost adding a battery system to your solar array. Receive up to $9,450 in upfront incentives, in addition to annual credits.

Pacific Power’s Wattsmart program offer financial incentives to homeowners and businesses who install battery storage systems in their territory. Homeowners can receive up to $3,000 per inverter. Businesses can receive up to $18,000 – or more with special pre-approval. In addition to the upfront incentive, participants receive an annual bill credit of $15/kW, starting in year two. That’s a $180 credit for the Envy 12kW. Energy Trust of Oregon provides an upfront incentive of $450/kW up to $5,400 plus $1,050 if paired with solar. These incentives can be combined with Wattsmart.

Wattsmart aims to promote renewable energy adoption and enhance grid reliability by using clean, renewable energy stored in battery systems instead of traditional power plants. Pacific Power expects to use participants’ battery storage system for five minutes instead of calling on expensive, less efficient gas peaker plants. Meanwhile, your battery storage system may serve as back-up electricity to your home or business, in case you ever need it. By participating, you will earn an upfront enrollment incentive and ongoing bill credits while helping to keep electricity prices in the region among the nation’s lowest.
