Tucson Electric Power - Energy Storage Rewards Program
Quick Summary
Enroll your qualifying grid-connected battery system to earn $120 per kilowatt (kW) in compensation, with typical systems receiving around $360 per season or up to $720 annually. TEP will automatically signal your battery to charge and discharge during peak demand periods (mostly 1–4 hour events), but you'll be notified in advance and can opt out if needed—the process requires no action from you unless you choose to adjust settings. Apply through TEP's website by matching your battery and account information; TEP will respond within 2–4 weeks with acceptance or next steps.

Program Summary
Tucson Electric Power (TEP) provides an incentive for customers to enroll their battery system in the utility's Energy Storage Rewards Program. To receive compensation, customers agree to have their batteries charge and discharge at times that are optimal for the grid, including during on-peak and off-peak times, as well as any day of the week, including weekends and holidays. Participants will be notified before upcoming events, but all steps will be automated so they will not need to take any action unless they want to opt out or change their battery’s settings. Each event may last 1 to 4 hours. Participants will receive $120 per kilowatt (kW), averaged over all events during the season. Customers may receive an average of $360 per season. Actual compensation will vary based on battery storage system size and performance.
