EnergyHub's ConnectedSolutions platform is
first multi-utility flexibility program in the Northeast to offer
new in-app experience for Tesla Powerwall owners
NEW
YORK, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Tesla, Inc.
and EnergyHub, the industry's most experienced provider of
distributed energy management systems (DERMS), have collaborated to
enable ConnectedSolutions program enrollment via the Tesla app. The
new in-app experience makes joining utility programs frictionless
for electricity customers in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island who enroll in ConnectedSolutions,
EnergyHub's largest bring-your-own-battery demand response program.
The program links batteries to create a virtual power plant
(VPP) that can be used to curb peak demand for electricity and to
provide additional grid services.
Tesla Powerwall owners who participate in the ConnectedSolutions
program can earn for every kilowatt of benefit they provide to the
grid—up to $1,500 per year depending
on the size of the battery and the state where they live. Using the
new in-app experience, customers can easily enroll in the program
and see the entire event including how much energy they are
providing, and understand how that results in earnings from their
utility.
"This frictionless approach to enrollment is key to building
battery storage resources at scale and bringing the benefits of
VPPs to the grid," said Matt
Johnson, VP Business Development at EnergyHub. "Many small
actions add up to an impactful, positive result. It's essential
that customers can easily see how they are helping the grid and
getting rewarded for it, and the partnership with Tesla enables
this level of visibility."
Once a customer is enrolled in the ConnectedSolutions program,
their utility will call upon the VPP when the grid is stressed to
reduce peak load during the demand response season, which runs from
June to September. The program will dispatch batteries no more than
60 times for a maximum of three hours per event. Customers do not
have to do anything in response to events. Tesla Powerwall will
respond automatically to support the grid.
All EnergyHub utility clients are eligible for participation in
the ConnectedSolutions program. Please visit ConnectedSolutions to
