States with High Energy Storage Rebates
- California: California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) provides a dollar per kilowatt rebate for battery storage. The program also offers higher incentives for areas with high fire threats and low-income households.
- Connecticut: Connecticut’s Energy Storage Solutions program offers up to $16,000 for residential customers and a 50% upfront incentive for businesses. The program includes equity provisions with higher incentives for income-eligible participants.
- Massachusetts: The Mass Save Connected Solutions program offers financial incentives and zero-interest financing for battery installations, supporting grid stability. While it doesn’t provide an upfront rebate, participants can stack other incentives like the SMART solar incentive with storage adder.
- New York: Offers a $250 per kilowatt rebate for battery storage, though this incentive is mainly available for Long Island residents. The state aims for significant energy storage targets but has limited incentives for homeowners outside Long Island.
- California, Massachusetts, and New York are also highlighted for having diverse incentive structures, including both upfront rebates and performance-based incentives, making them attractive for energy storage investments.
For commercial projects, the Clean Electricity Investment Credit (CEIC) provides up to 50% of the project cost for battery storage across the U.S., though it is not specific to a particular state.
