Overview
About this program
Austin Energy’s Power Partner portfolio includes thermostat, EV and battery participation. Its March 2026 EnergyHub announcement reports more than 57 MW from existing programs and introduces a battery pilot. The battery offer has separate equipment, reserve, inspection and incentive requirements; the portfolio total is not standalone battery-pilot capacity.
