Puget Sound Energy (PSE) has announced the launch of its new Flex Batteries incentive program, which is designed to help residential customers take control of their energy consumption and save money.

Additionally, customers can earn up to $500 each year for their ongoing participation in the program. This initiative is part of PSE's strategy to empower communities through the integration of innovative technologies, such as residential Battery Energy Storage Systems. According to PSE Vice President Aaron August, these distributed energy assets will help alleviate strain on the grid during extreme weather conditions and enhance overall reliability.
