NextZero Connected Homes Program

Enroll your WiFi-connected battery storage or EV charger with your participating municipal light plant to earn a monthly credit of $30 for storage systems or up to $10 for EV charging equipment. You'll receive incentives simply for allowing the utility to make brief, limited adjustments to your device during peak demand periods, with no sacrifice to comfort.

The NextZero Connected Homes Program offers your customers monthly performance incentives for enrolling qualifying internet-connected lithium-ion battery storage and Level 2 EV charging equipment through their municipal utility. Eligible customers must be served by one of Massachusetts's participating municipal light plants and own or plan to purchase WiFi-connected devices that meet the program's device partner requirements.

This performance-based incentive program is administered by the Massachusetts Municipal Wholesale Electric Company through NextZero for residential customers of participating municipal light plants. The program pays $30 monthly per enrolled storage system and up to $10 monthly per enrolled EV charging system, funded through the administering utility, and targets residential customers with smart-home devices to enable grid demand management during peak periods.
