What Is New Hampshire Clean Energy Fund Battery Storage Program?

New Hampshire Clean Energy Fund Battery storage program is a demand response program available in New Hampshire for Eversource customers.

If you are an Eversource customer in New Hampshire, you can earn upfront incentives for enrolling your home battery to support the grid during high demand periods. Each FranklinWH aPower X and aPower 2 is eligible for an upfront incentive of up to $3,000 depending on the kWh capacity of your battery.

All events will occur between 3 pm and 8 pm, from June 1 to September 30 each year. More info

Enrollment requires a three-year demand response participation commitment.

If there is an extreme weather event in the forecast, the utility will refrain from drawing energy from the customers’ batteries.
