Flexible Load Program

VEC is now offering an incentive to members willing to allow VEC to use their home battery a limited number of times per year when we are anticipating peak demand. Members will receive a monthly bill credit, or they can opt for an upfront payment and lower monthly bill credit.

Incentive amounts are:

• Monthly bill credit of $6.40 per kilowatt (kW), OR
• Upfront payment of $268 per kW and monthly bill credit of $3.20 per kW

VEC offers level II EV chargers to members at no charge. 

To take advantage of this offer members must:

• Enroll their charger in a communications platform so that VEC can request that the charger not operate during peak events (five to six times per month for three to four hours each). You can opt out of individual events if needed. You will receive an $8/month incentive if you do not opt out of events.
• Enroll in VEC’s Beat the Peak Program to receive alerts during the summer (approximately three to four events) when VEC expects high demand for electricity. During these events, VEC requests that members voluntarily take steps to decrease their electric use, such as shutting lights off, turning up the thermostat, and delaying use of major appliances.

To request a charger, please fill out this form. To read the Member Participation Agreement, click here.

If you purchase your own level II charger, you can receive a $250 incentive if you either 1) set a schedule to not charger from 5-9pm Monday through Friday, or 2) if it is a Flo, ChargePoint, or Emporia, enroll it in VEC's communications platform to receive another $50 upfront incentive and $8/month as long as you do not opt out of events. To receive the $250 incentive, complete and submit this form.

If you do not have a compatible level II charger and would like to participate in the Flexible Load Program, you may be able to enroll your vehicle directly. VEC would send a signal to your vehicle and request that it not charge when we are anticipating peak demand. These events last from 2-4 hours, and your vehicle will resume charging after the event. We will inform you when we're calling an event, and you can opt out if you need to charge during that time period. Participants receive a $50 one-time enrollment incentive and $8/month.
