Rhode Island State & Utility Programs

Rhode Island's ConnectedSolutions pays recurring demand-response credits for letting the utility use your battery at peak times.

While Rhode Island does not run a large statewide battery rebate, individual utilities sometimes offer demand-response or pilot programs. Check with Rhode Island Energy for current offers.

Why Batteries Make Sense in Rhode Island

Rhode Island averages about 7 hours of grid outages a year, and a wide peak-to-off-peak price gap means time-of-use bill savings stack on top of backup value.
