Incentives for all residential and retail storage projects are provided through a network of participating contractors approved under the Residential and Retail Energy Storage Incentive program who contract directly with the customer. The program breaks out incentives geographically by sector and region in the Megawatt hour (MWh) Block Dashboards.
The Program Manual [PDF] provides a full list of project eligibility and requirements. For battery storage systems above five MW of AC power, projects could be eligible for incentives through the Bulk Energy Storage Program. Additional details on both the Residential and Retail Energy Storage Incentive are available in the program manual [PDF].
In an energy storage tolling agreement, the seller develops, owns, and operates the energy storage system, while the offtaker supplies charging energy. Therefore, the energy in the system belongs to the offtaker.
Energy storage procurement contracts must also take into account the ever-evolving suite of laws and regulations applicable to energy storage projects, including as a result of the recent change in administration in the United States.
