BUILT AROUND YOU
A battery can do more than wait for an outage.
During a Peak Saver event, an enrolled eligible home battery discharges to home circuits to reduce electricity drawn from the grid. Events can run for up to 4 hours during the winter season, from November through March. The program does not make every battery eligible, and Peak Saver eligibility is not Energy Storage Incentive eligibility.
- Owner control remains available: you can override or opt out of an event at any time.
- The detailed program page states that battery reserve will not be reduced below 20%.
- More than 50% event opt-outs can make a household ineligible for the seasonal reward.
Plan for what’s next
Under current terms, rewards are a $500 one-time enrolment bill credit and a $250 seasonal reward per household and device type, not per battery module. Check the current eligible-device list and program terms before purchase.
BC HYDRO PEAK SAVER · CHECKED 29 OCTOBER 2026
How an eligible home battery can support winter peaks.
Peak Saver is a residential demand-response program for enrolled eligible home batteries. When BC Hydro calls an event, the battery discharges to home circuits so the home draws less from the grid. The stated event season is November through March, and an event can last up to 4 hours.
The homeowner remains in control. You retain full override control and can override or opt out of an event at any time. The detailed official page says the battery reserve will not be reduced below 20%. If you opt out of more than 50% of events in a season, you may not be eligible for the seasonal reward.
Current rewards are not per battery module
Under the current terms, an enrolled household can receive a $500 one-time enrolment bill credit and a $250 seasonal reward for the household and device type. Those amounts are not multiplied by every battery module in a system. Availability and all current program conditions apply.
Check the exact battery and pathway before purchase
BC Hydro’s current Peak Saver page provides enrolment routes for Eguana, SolarEdge and Tesla. That does not mean every product from those manufacturers, or every home battery, qualifies. The current qualified product list identifies Eguana Evolve LFP/Max 14 and 28 kWh systems and SolarEdge Energy Bank BAT-10K1PS0B-02, 9.7 kWh, for Peak Saver plus the battery installation rebate. Tesla Powerwall 3 may qualify for Peak Saver rewards but is not on that list for the BC Hydro equipment rebate.
The current Peak Saver battery installation rebate is up to $5,000, calculated at $500 per kWh and limited to 50% of installed cost and the applicable cap. Pre-approval and all other current terms apply. To maximize the rebate, enrol the eligible battery within 14 days of interconnection approval. Do not assume an EG4, Sigenergy, Enphase or another battery qualifies. Peak Saver eligibility does not establish eligibility for the commercial Energy Storage Incentive, and a generic battery image does not establish model or program support.
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Which batteries can join Peak Saver?
BC Hydro currently provides enrolment routes for Eguana, SolarEdge and Tesla systems, but a manufacturer route does not establish that every model is eligible. The current qualified product list identifies Eguana Evolve LFP/Max 14 and 28 kWh systems and the SolarEdge Energy Bank BAT-10K1PS0B-02, 9.7 kWh, for Peak Saver plus the qualifying battery installation rebate. Review current terms before purchase.
Does a Tesla Powerwall qualify for the BC Hydro equipment rebate?
Tesla Powerwall 3 may be eligible for Peak Saver rewards under current program terms, but it is not on the current qualified product list for the BC Hydro equipment rebate. Exact model, account and current program approval still need checking.
How does the Peak Saver battery rebate work?
The current Peak Saver battery installation rebate is up to $5,000, subject to capacity and 50% installed-cost limits plus all approval and 14-day enrolment conditions. Do not assume that an EG4, Sigenergy, Enphase or any other battery is eligible without checking the current official list and terms.
