Fortress Power is expanding its participation in Duke Energy’s battery programs in North Carolina. The new eForce battery from Fortress is now eligible for the program, joining the rest of Fortress Power’s residential energy storage systems.
Duke Energy offers an upfront incentive of up to $9,000 through Duke Energy’s PowerPair program when customers install an eligible energy storage system. Additionally, customers can receive monthly bill credits based on their battery capacity, maximizing their savings over time.
“Fortress Power is proud to support homeowners in North Carolina through Duke Energy’s PowerPair Home Battery Program,” said Brian London, VP of Energy Services at Fortress Power. “With our advanced energy storage solutions, customers can take full advantage of these significant incentives while enjoying greater energy independence and security.”
The monthly bill credits are available through additional battery control programs based on the Duke Energy utility. Customers of Duke Energy Carolinas, serving the greater Charlotte, Raleigh and Winston-Salem areas, have the Power Manager program. Duke Energy Progress customers in Asheville, Raleigh, Durham, Wilmington and Fayetteville can join the EnergyWise program. These incentives and terms are identical for the two battery control programs. By participating in the EnergyWise or Power Manager programs, customers allow the utility to dispatch stored energy when the grid is stressed, helping to lower electricity costs for themselves and the entire community while maintaining seamless backup power in the event of an outage.
