Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has announced the launch of its new Flex Batteries incentive program, which is designed to help residential customers take control of their energy consumption and save money. Participants in the program can receive a one-time incentive of $1,000 when they enroll and make their home battery systems available during peak energy demand periods. Additionally, customers can earn up to $500 each year for their ongoing participation in the program. This initiative is part of PSE's strategy to empower communities through the integration of innovative technologies, such as residential Battery Energy Storage Systems. According to PSE Vice President Aaron August, these distributed energy assets will help alleviate strain on the grid during extreme weather conditions and enhance overall reliability.

The program also provides customers with an opportunity to reduce energy costs by utilizing excess energy generated from renewable sources, such as solar panels. The Flex Batteries program reflects PSE's commitment to fostering a sustainable energy future and reducing environmental impact.
