Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is TXU Energy Battery Rewards?
    TXU Energy Battery Rewards offers a way for customers who own Enphase batteries to send their energy to the grid during times of high usage to help lower demand across Texas. We’ll pay you for access to your battery in digital prepaid Mastercards and you can spend those rewards on anything you’d like.
  • What batteries are eligible?
    Currently, only customers who have rooftop solar panels and own a battery from Enphase can participate in this program. If you lease your battery or finance it through a power purchase agreement, you won’t be able to participate at this time. See the latest list of eligible battery manufacturers further up this page.
  • What TXU Energy plan do I need to be on?
    You can participate if you’re on any TXU Energy commodity plan. We recommend you combine Battery Rewards with a solar buyback plan for even more solar benefits. If you’re not a current customer enrolled on an electricity plan and would like to enroll in Battery Rewards, shop our plans.
  • How do I enroll in Battery Rewards?
    You can enroll in Battery Rewards today if you’re a current TXU Energy customer and have an Enphase battery by simply clicking on the "Enroll" button at the top of this page. You’ll need to sign into MyAccount and choose your battery type, along with completing a few other quick steps. Please email us at batteryrewards@txu.com if you have any enrollment questions.
  • Can I opt out of individual dispatch events?
    Depending on the settings of your battery manufacturer app, it maybe be possible to opt out of individual program dispatch events. However, if you do not participate in at least 90% of these events, you may be unenrolled from the program by TXU Energy. For more information, please see program terms and conditions.
  • Do I get paid per dispatch event?
    No, we’ll send you a $100 prepaid card every six months while you’re in the program.
  • If I have more than one battery, do I receive a greater incentive?
    No, your reward amount will be the same whether you have one battery or multiple.
  • What happens if I need my battery during an outage?
    In cases of random outages, you’ll always be able to count on that 20% backup. Also, in the event of an outage, any energy coming from your solar panels will be rerouted to the battery for your home to use and will not go out to the grid during that time.
  • What happens if my battery stops working while enrolled?
    If your battery stops working or malfunctions, you’ll be unenrolled from the program, but you can contact us at batteryrewards@txu.com to re-enroll and continue receiving rewards.
  • When will I get my first reward card?

  • How does participating in this program help Texas?
    Programs like this help make the statewide grid more efficient. The combined energy from connected devices like batteries and smart thermostats help balance the supply and demand on the grid, so there’s more to go around.
