Battery & Grid Opportunities
Residential Battery Programs
Home battery systems that can provide backup power during outages while earning revenue by supporting the grid during peak demand periods through virtual power plant programs.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Participation
Connected battery systems that work together as a virtual power plant, helping stabilize the Texas grid while generating potential income for participating homeowners.
Grid Resiliency Solutions
Battery storage designed to keep your home powered during extreme weather events and grid emergencies—a growing concern in the Texas ERCOT market.
Important: Qualification Varies
Not all Texas properties qualify for every program. Eligibility depends on your location, utility provider, home electrical system, and the specific program requirements. The Energy Concierge helps you determine which opportunities may be available to you and explains the terms before you make any commitment.

Common Questions
Understanding the Opportunity
What is a Virtual Power Plant (VPP)?
A VPP is a network of distributed energy resources—like home batteries—that are coordinated to act as a single power source. When the grid needs extra power during peak demand, your battery can discharge stored energy back to the grid, and you may receive compensation for participating.
How does the Texas ERCOT market create unique opportunities?
Texas operates its own independent electrical grid (ERCOT), which creates unique market dynamics. During periods of high demand, energy prices can spike significantly, creating potential revenue opportunities for battery owners participating in demand response programs.
Do I qualify for a battery program?
Qualification depends on several factors including your location within the ERCOT service area, your home's electrical system, your utility provider, and the specific program requirements. We help you understand which programs may be available in your area.
Is the battery really free?
Program structures vary. Some programs offer batteries at reduced cost or no upfront cost in exchange for participation agreements. The specific terms, obligations, and duration of any program should be carefully reviewed. We help you understand exactly what you are agreeing to before you commit.
