Common Questions About EnergyBroker & Virtual Power Plant (VPP) Programs
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a network of home battery systems that a utility can draw from during periods of high grid demand — instead of firing up expensive and polluting gas peaker plants. When you enroll your Fortress Power battery in your local VPP program, your utility can temporarily dispatch a small amount of your stored energy to help stabilize the grid. In return, you earn incentives — upfront payments, bill credits, performance bonuses, or a combination depending on your state and utility provider. Your battery handles everything automatically, with no action required from you.
It varies significantly by state, utility, and program structure. Some programs pay recurring bill credits based on participation. Others send checks. Many offer both upfront and ongoing incentives. As an example, homeowners in Vermont can qualify for up to $10,500 in upfront incentives through the Green Mountain Power BYOD program. In Arizona, the APS Storage Rewards Pilot pays performance incentives at the end of each summer via a bill credit based on average kilowatt output per event. Visit the individual program pages on this site to see current incentive details for your state.
No. Utility providers participating in these programs agree not to fully discharge your battery. The exact minimum reserve varies by program, but most utilities leave approximately 20% of your battery capacity untouched — ensuring you always have backup power available. Your home's energy security is protected even when your battery is dispatching energy to the grid.
During a dispatch event, your utility draws a portion of your stored energy to help stabilize the grid during peak demand. Your battery system handles this automatically — no action is required from you. Event duration and frequency vary by state and program. In Arizona, up to 60 events are scheduled between May and October, each lasting 1 to 4 hours. In Oregon, events are as short as 5 minutes. Visit your state's program page for specific event details.
All Fortress Power inverters and batteries are approved for participation across all available programs. No additional hardware is required beyond your standard Fortress Power system. If you already have a qualifying system installed, you may be eligible to enroll immediately depending on your state's program requirements.
Use the state map on this page to find active programs in your area. Each state listing includes details on the specific utility program, incentive structure, and how to enroll. Programs vary widely by state — some offer upfront payments, others offer ongoing credits, and many offer both. If your state isn't listed yet, programs are actively expanding. Contact us and we'll notify you when something becomes available in your area.
You can enroll through our application page, through your certified installer, or in some cases directly with your utility provider. Enrolling through Fortress Power is the recommended path — our team assists with the full activation process, ensures all required documentation is submitted correctly, and confirms you're earning every available incentive from day one. Enrollment timelines vary by state depending on what your utility requires.
Most programs require a new installation to qualify — existing systems are not eligible in the majority of states. A few programs do allow already-installed systems to enroll, but these are the exception rather than the rule. If you're planning a new Fortress Power installation, enrolling in your local program from the start is the best way to maximize your incentives. Contact our team to confirm eligibility requirements for your specific state and program.
