Qualified Program Area
Swell Energy’s virtual power plant program (VPP) in Orange County provides local, renewable energy to help meet increased demand without the need for fossil fuel power plants, improving air quality and lowering pollution.
The VPP program also helps fill the capacity shortfall that resulted from the decommissioning of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant in 2013 as well as the impending retirement of nearby ocean-cooled power plants, which may impact grid reliability. During moments of peak demand, the batteries will take participating homes partially or fully off of grid energy, reducing Southern California Edison’s (SCE) reliance on expensive fossil fuel peaker plants.
Swell Energy is actively recruiting 2,000 residents and small businesses in Orange County into this VPP to create 5MW of capacity and demand response capabilities for SCE. This project is part of SCE’s second Preferred Resources Pilot and will deliver energy to SCE during peak demand periods for 15 years.

Rest easy
The assurance a home battery provides is immeasurable. During a power outage or emergency, know you have power for your essential services.
Save the planet
In the coming years, renewable energy and energy storage systems will replace the central power plants powered by fossil fuels that have polluted our communities for over a century. Be part of the energy solution that cleans the air and cools the planet.
Build a more resilient neighborhood
Installing a battery in your home provides balance and certainty to the bigger electric grid, resulting in fewer brownouts and blackouts in your community.
How does a home battery work?
A home battery acts like a barrier between your home and the power grid. It plugs right into your current electrical system to optimize daily energy use and to provide backup power during a grid outage. Watch this video for a quick explanation.
