Tesla will deploy up to 1,000 Powerwalls in Vermont per year under two new programs with a longtime partner.
Green Mountain Power
(GMP) was one of the earliest adopters of Tesla Powerwall.
It’s a relatively small electric utility operating in Vermont, but it has been
leading the deployment of Tesla Powerwalls with 2,000 units deployed to date.
Their deployment of energy storage has been so successful that they decided to expand it in a big way with updates to their programs that went into effect earlier this month:
“Green Mountain Power (GMP) customers now have two new home battery programs they can enroll in starting on June 5, after a Vermont Public Utility Commission order issued late Wednesday. GMP’s Tesla Powerwall and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs are both modeled on the company’s popular and groundbreaking pilot programs that have shown proven cost savings for all GMP customers, while providing convenient and seamless back up power to participating customers during outages. GMP is the first utility in the country to get tariff approval to offer customers these types of programs”
Under the BYOD program, up to 500 customers can have Powerwalls installed with third-party installers per year with up to $10,500 in incentives to customers.
