Tesla Active-only enrollment process:
- Tesla Powerwall 2, Powerwall+, and Powerwall 3 are eligible for Active-only dispatch to receive the performance-based incentives.
- Tesla Active-only applications do NOT need to be submitted to the Salesforce enrollment platform. To apply for Tesla Active-only, customers simply need to self-enroll via the Tesla Mobile App in the Virtual Power Plant section (“VPP”) after receiving Permission to Operate / Approval to Energize. Active-only Tesla customer enrollment requests still require “export” interconnection approval from the utility for the BESS.
Tesla limitations:
- Tesla Powerwall 3 (only) is now eligible for Passive + Active dispatch to receive both an upfront incentive and performance-based incentive if the contract had the upfront incentive applied as a discount and Permission to Operate / Approval to Energize is issued 6/5/2025 or later.
- There are limitations for Tesla Powerwall 3 participation regarding Passive dispatch eligibility and compliance:
- The Tesla Powerwall 3 must be capable of discharging its available energy capacity down to a 20% reserve state of charge in a 3-hour period (i.e., 11.5 kW [one (1) base unit Powerwall 3] is limited to a maximum energy nameplate capacity of 40.5 kWh [one (1) base unit with two (2) expansion packs]). When utilizing the latest Incentive Estimate Calculator (published to the Contractor Resources page), be sure to verify with the embedded Passive dispatch compliance check.
