Tesla and Vermont utility Green Mountain Power (GMP),
. . . will bundle together up to
. . . 2,000 of Tesla’s:
. . . . . . residential,
. . . . . . commercial, and
. . . . . . industrial (C&I),
. . . Powerwall, and Powerpack systems,
. . . to create a “single resource of shared energy.
Green Mountain Power (GMP) will deploy Powerpacks on its own properties, and
. . . Powerwalls at the homes of up to 2,000 customers,
. . . (about 12.8MW).
Customers can either pay
. . . US$15 a month, or pay an upfront fee of
. . . US$1,500 for a 10-year agreement that allows them,
. . . to use the batteries for backup power.
Essentially, customers are being compensated, or rewarded,
. . . for making some of their Powerwall’s capacity,
. . . available to the utility, and to Tesla.
. . . for dynamic capacity to meet shortfalls in supply, and add grid stability,
. . . while at the same time lowering utility costs for ratepayers
. . . also be available for (GMP) to use in
. . . trading their power in wholesale markets in New England.
