Energy Storage Solutions
Enroll in Energy Storage Solutions to create a reliable, resilient Connecticut energy community
What is the Energy Storage Solutions Program?
Energy Storage Solutions is a grid services program designed to help Eversource and United Illuminating (UI) customers install energy storage at their homes or businesses in Connecticut. Energy Storage Solutions will help create a more reliable, energy resilient, Connecticut, especially for vulnerable communities and those hit hardest by storm-related outages. Energy storage does more than just help during an outage! You also gain financial incentives for helping the community by providing energy to the grid.
Energy Storage Solutions is overseen by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA). It is paid for by ratepayers and is administered by Connecticut Green Bank, Eversource and United Illuminating. For customer terms and conditions of the program, please refer to Eversource and United Illuminating. If you are an existing customer on the program (before April 1, 2026), please contact Connecticut Green Bank for more information.
Energy Storage Solutions Lowers the Cost of a Battery by Providing Both Upfront and Performance Incentives
Enrollment Incentives
The incentive is calculated as kWh* applicable rate, which is either $30/kWh or $130/kWh, depending on whether the customer qualifies as a grid-edge customer. Please refer to program info for detailed information on the enrollment incentives.
Performance Incentives
Performance incentives are paid twice a year for 10 years. Performance incentives are based on average kW-AC contribution during each period, determined by actual system performance during events as indicated by inverter data, not nameplate capacity.
*Effective April 7, 2025, 10% of the total performance incentives earned by homeowners participating in the program will be allocated to FranklinWH to cover the operational and maintenance costs of the Devices and related Services. This change does not apply to existing customers or those who enrolled in the program prior to April 7, 2025.
How does it work?
Connect with us to select an eligible FranklinWH Installation partner in your area.
Contractor applies to and works with Connecticut Green Bank on the next steps. Once the initial application is reviewed and approved, Connecticut Green Bank will issue a Reservation of Funds (ROF) for the customer.
Once installation is complete, the contractor must submit a second round of paperwork (referred to as a Completion Application) to Green Bank to verify the completion of the project.
Green Bank will issue payment of the Enrollment Incentive once the Completion Application is approved and the customer's system is connected with EnergyHub.
Tips Your battery will export energy to the utility on summer and winter days to reduce peak electricity demand. However, if a storm is approaching, the utility will not use your battery stored power.
