Making Residential Battery Programs Work for Everyone

As more utilities launch residential battery storage programs, it’s clear that smart program design is essential—but the challenge is that every stakeholder comes to the table with different goals and their own cost-benefit calculations. After launching six utility BESS programs, Uplight has learned what matters most to utilities, OEMs, third-party installers, DERMS providers, and customers, and how to weave these different perspectives into program designs that actually work. Join utility leaders in this working group to dig into practical insights and share what’s working in battery program design, including:

• Evolving program designs by use case: How frameworks are adapting as dispatch strategies and grid integration needs change
• Finding the right OEM and third-party owned (TPO) battery mix: What OEMs need to participate successfully and the emerging benefits of TPOs
• Tailored incentive structures: How to craft incentives that match your program type and motivate targeted customer segments
