Texas did it with energy deregulation.. now it's happening with batteries.
Virtual Power Plants are filling neighborhoods across the Lone Star State. $0 out of pocket. Some are utility-run, others are private partnerships.
Comment "BATTERY" to find out how this works and how YOU can lock in a fixed rate while your neighbors keep paying more.
1. TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE. Texas deregulated its grid decades ago and the people who acted early locked in the best deals. Same thing is happening right now with home battery programs. The window is open. It won't be forever.
2. SKEPTICS WILL STAY BROKE. Read the comments any time this comes up on social media. It's the same crowd. "Too good to be true." "There's a catch." these are the ones still paying full price on their light bill every month.
3. ROGER BANNISTER MOMENT. Once one neighborhood in Texas does this at scale, every other neighborhood follows. That's already happening.
4. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. I think Texas becomes the model for the entire country. ISO-New England is already watching what ERCOT does. The utilities that fight this will lose. The homeowners who move early will win.
5. THE NUMBERS MAKE SENSE. Fixed rate. Free battery backup installed. Grid credit every time the battery dispatches. This isn't complicated. The math works for the homeowner AND the grid operator. That's rare.
6. THE GRID NEEDS THIS. ERCOT nearly collapsed in February 2021. They know it. The state knows it. Programs that put distributed battery storage into neighborhoods are exactly what grid operators want subsidized. That means costs are covered for the homes who participate.
7. WAVES REQUIRE TIMING. Jump in now and you're early enough to get the best deal, but late enough that the program is proven. Wait another year and the best fixed-rate locks are gone. This is that window.
