• Flex & Save rewards customers for allowing PECO to discharge their battery storage systems during times of high electricity demand, often referred to as events.

• During seasons of high energy demand, PECO will send signals to your battery’s inverter to temporarily share (i.e., discharge) stored energy. These automatic adjustments help reduce strain on the grid and keep electricity more reliable for everyone. Flex & Save is divided into two seasons, summer and winter.

• There are two seasons per calendar year: summer (June 1 to August 31 and winter (January 1 to February 28 or 29). Program funds are limited and subject to availability. Reward amounts and program terms are subject to change, including termination, without prior notice.

• Under Pennsylvania Act 129 program, PECO must offer customer programs to reduce their electric consumption and demand. To achieve that goal, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) approved a PECO plan that created several energy efficiency programs, including PECO Flex & Save.

• This program is currently available through May 31, 2031. Rules and incentives may change, and funds are limited and subject to availability. For more information on how you can get started, email pecoflexrewards@energyhub.com, or call 888-5-PECO-SAVE (888-573-2672).

• All PECO residential electric customers are eligible who are not on a Time-of-Use rate.

• To participate in the PECO Flex & Save program, you must be a PECO residential electric customer. You must also use a battery storage system controlled by a supported battery or inverter manufacturer, and your battery must perform in accordance with what is in your interconnection service agreement (ISA).

• Please see the list of supported inverter manufacturers and battery models below. You can also reach out to your installer to see if they installed one of the supported inverters.

• If you would like to join PECO Flex & Save, you must first unenroll from TOU then submit your Flex & Save application. We recommend carefully reviewing your current TOU bills & savings reports to determine whether TOU or Flex & Save is the best option for your needs before making any changes. To unenroll from PECO’s Time-of-Use rate, please contact a PECO customer service representative at 800-494-4000, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST. Please note, depending on the timing of your unenrollment request, it may take up to three billing periods for you to return to PECO’s fixed-price rate. Submit your Flex & Save application once the fixed-priced billing rate is confirmed.

• After you apply, PECO will send you an email confirming your application have been accepted. This can take up to two weeks. If more information is needed to complete your enrollment, we’ll email you with any next steps

• Battery events are not called when severe weather is forecast for your location. A 20% reserve capacity is the recommended setting for your battery. Users can determine and set a reserve capacity that is appropriate for the energy needs of their household. Those wishing to maximize their incentive will choose a lower reserve capacity resulting in higher battery output per each event.

•  You can find terms and conditions that apply to all manufacturers here:  Terms and Conditions

• You receive $80 per kW discharged. See details below.

• Your payment will be based on the average power contribution, in kilowatts (kW), of your battery system throughout all event hours.

• Battery system performance will vary based on size, configuration, maintaining internet connectivity and other factors. Please contact your battery storage system manufacturer for more information about your battery's expected performance and the best estimation of your incentive based on your battery system.

• The example provided below is for illustrative purposes only. The average kW discharged will vary based on your battery system. In the below example, the customer  has a battery system of 10 kW capacity.

• Example Rewards Scenario: 

 ^80/kW based on the average kW reduction delivered by a Participant’s battery storage system across all Adjustment Event hours during an entire season.

• The customer can earn up to an average of $480 for the year* when you add their rewards from participating in the summer and winter season.

• For questions regarding compensation, please email pecoflexrewards@energyhub.com.

• To be eligible for a season reward, the participant must remain enrolled through the end of the applicable season. There are two seasons per calendar year: summer (June 1 to August 31 and winter (January 1 to February 28 or 29). Program funds are limited and subject to availability. Reward amounts and program terms are subject to change, including termination, without prior notice.

• Incentive payments will be issued by paper check and mailed within 6 weeks after the conclusion of each season to the mailing address provided at enrollment. Participants are responsible for ensuring that mailing information is accurate and current.

• There is inherent inefficiency in charging or discharging your battery. Since there is inefficiency in the recharging, you will pay about 10% more for the recharge energy (kWh) than the value of the reduced energy usage during discharge. The cost depends on several factors:

• If you have a battery and solar, you typically charge your battery from your solar system. When you discharge your battery, you are either displacing a portion of your household usage and thus reducing the amount of energy purchased or you are sending energy back to the grid and receiving net metering credit. Since a majority of the recharge hours will occur when there is little or no sun, you will be recharging from the grid at the same standard PECO rate as you are being credited for your discharge.
• If you have a battery and are a PECO default supply customer, you are charging your battery from the grid. You will be recharging your battery at the same PECO rate as when you discharged.
• If you have a battery and are signed up with an alternate (non-PECO) energy supplier, your supplier may be charging different rates for different times of day which could then cost you more for your recharge (in addition to the efficiency loss of discharging and recharging your battery). The cost calculation would depend on your supplier’s rate structure. We do not have rate data for customers using alternate suppliers and cannot provide estimated costs. Please check with your alternate (non-PECO) energy supplier for more detail.

• Your battery system must have an approved Interconnection Agreement through PECO’s Green Power Connect (GPC)team before your application can be approved. This ensures your system meets safety and interconnection requirements and can operate with the electric grid. If your system is not yet approved, contact your installer or reach out to GPCTeam@peco.com or call (833) 732-6334 to complete the process.

• PECO will not signal your battery to discharge stored energy if a severe storm is forecasted to ensure customers' battery storage systems can be utilized for backup power if needed.

• In addition, some battery vendors can help you configure your system to limit how much your system will discharge during events. Please note, however, that this will affect how much your system will earn.

• Customers who don’t have a renewable energy system but do have an energy storage system that charges from the electricity grid may participate in Flex & Save.

• Yes. If we cannot communicate with your energy storage system, or if your energy storage system cannot discharge when needed (due to a maintenance issue), the incentive paid will be affected.

• Please contact your battery vendor or installer, or pecoflexrewards@energyhub.com to unenroll from PECO Flex & Save or call 888-5-PECO-SAVE (888-573-2672) if you have any questions.
