Worcester
Business customers in select areas of Worcester can now earn extra rewards for helping manage energy demand on the hottest days with ConnectedSolutions+, an enhanced version of our standard program. By temporarily reducing energy usage in your facility or discharging a battery during periods of high energy demand, you can earn increased financial incentives each summer when you help reduce peak demand, manage costs, and support a reliable, cleaner grid.
The program runs through March 31, 2030.

Questions on ConnectedSolutions+?
Frequently Asked Questions
ConnectedSolutions are demand response programs that offer customers rewards for lowering their electric use or discharging battery storage systems at times when demand is high for electricity (peak events). Less energy demand during peak events helps reduce stress on the electric grid and manage energy costs by decreasing the need for additional generation during peak times.
No, if you are a current National Grid ConnectedSolutions participant and receive an email about ConnectedSolutions+, you have been automatically enrolled in the new program.
Incentives are paid out in the fall each year. Most customers decide to participate through a Cirtaliment Service Provider, and most providers are paid directly. After the provider takes their portion of the incentive, the provider sends the rest to the customer though a check or automated back draft. For customers who enroll directly, not through a curtailment service provider, National Grid will send a check to the customer’s billing address in the fall of each year.
