Program summary

Earn Bill Credits with Delaware Electric Cooperative

Delaware Electric Cooperative’s Beat the Peak With Batteries program rewards eligible members who allow enrolled home batteries to support the grid during periods of high electricity demand.

How the Program Works

During Beat the Peak alerts, participating batteries discharge stored energy so the home draws less electricity from the grid. This helps Delaware Electric Cooperative reduce costly peak demand and can help keep rates affordable for members.

Incentive and Eligibility

  • Participants may be eligible for up to $2,000 in bill credits.
  • Credits are paid at the end of the summer season.
  • The amount is based on battery-system size and the energy dispatched during Beat the Peak alerts.
  • Delaware Electric Cooperative members with an installed battery, or those considering a battery purchase, may be eligible.
  • Tigo Energy is listed by the Cooperative as a compatible battery manufacturer.

How to Enroll

Members enroll through the app or website used to manage their battery system. Tigo customers can follow the Battery Incentive Program Enrollment Guide for enrollment steps. Review the official Delaware Electric Cooperative program page for current terms, compatibility, and assistance.
