VEC offers an incentive to members willing to allow VEC to use their home battery a limited number of times per year when we are anticipating peak demand. Participants receive a monthly bill credit, or they can opt for an upfront payment and lower monthly bill credit. Starting for batteries installed 10/1/25 and later, participating members’ compensation will be based on several values and the equation listed below:
Relevant Values
Battery Energy (kWh) – This is the total kWh in the battery. The minimum Battery Energy to participate is 10 kWh.
Battery Reserve (%) – The percentage of Battery Energy that a member chooses to keep in reserve and not use for Peak Events.
Battery Inverter Capacity (kW) – The output capacity of the battery inverter must exceed the kWh from the compensation equation below and be at least 2 kW.
Peak Event Duration (Hours) – VEC requires the battery to provide 4 hours of energy for a Peak Event
Monthly Peak Event Value ($) – VEC reserves the right to update this value annually. It is currently valued at $6.40 per month.
Upfront Peak Event Value ($) - VEC reserves the right to update this value annually. It is currently valued at $268.
Participating members can select either the Monthly Incentive or the Upfront Payment and Lower Monthly Incentive.
Monthly incentive = [Monthly Peak Value] X [kWh Capacity] X [1- Battery Reserve Percentage] / [4 Hours]
For example: [$6.40] x [27kWh] x [1 - .20%] / [4 hrs.] = $34.56 monthly credit
OR
Upfront Incentive = [Upfront Peak Event Value] X [kWh Capacity] X [1- Battery Reserve Percentage] / [4 Hours]
For example: [$268] x [27kWh] x [1 - .20%] / [4 hrs] = $1,447.20 upfront payment
AND
Lower Monthly incentive = ([Monthly Peak Value] X [kWh Capacity] X [1- Battery Reserve Percentage] / [4 hrs])/2
For example: ([$6.40] x [27kWh] x [1 - .20%] / [4 hrs])/2 = $17.28 monthly credit
