Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has introduced an innovative Flex Batteries incentive program aimed at residential customers, providing significant financial benefits for those who enroll. Participants can receive a one-time incentive of $1,000 and an annual bonus of $500 for allowing PSE to optimize their battery usage during peak energy demand. PSE Vice President Aaron August highlighted the initiative's role in empowering customers while enhancing grid reliability, especially during extreme weather conditions. The program not only helps customers manage their energy usage but also encourages the use of renewable energy sources by allowing users to store excess energy generated from solar panels. By participating, customers can lower their energy costs and contribute to a more resilient energy network.

This initiative reflects PSE's commitment to reducing environmental footprints and promoting sustainable energy practices. The company is also seeking partners to further expand the incentive program. For more details on eligibility and participating vendors, customers can visit the PSE website.
