Yes, several U.S. states offer performance-based incentives for energy storage. Here are a few examples:
- California: The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) includes performance-based incentives, particularly for areas prone to wildfires and power outages. However, the primary focus is on upfront rebates based on the capacity of energy storage systems installed.
- Connecticut: The Energy Storage Solutions program provides businesses with performance-based incentives twice a year for 10 years, depending on how much power the battery adds to the grid during peak periods.
- Massachusetts: The Connected Solutions program offers performance-based incentives to customers who enroll in demand response events, helping to reduce grid stress during peak demand times. Although it primarily provides financial incentives for participation, it includes a performance aspect by rewarding efficient use during specified periods.
- New Jersey: Proposals for the New Jersey Storage Incentive Program include performance-based incentives for behind-the-meter storage resources that reduce on-site load or supply additional power to the grid when required. However, the program is still in development and expected to launch in 2026.
