Vermont utility Green Mountain Power (GMP) announced it has selected Enphase Energy to join its home battery lease program where customers have back up power when they need it and share stored energy during peak usage times. GMP’s battery lease program is a significant part of its growing 75-MW virtual power plant, which is now Vermont’s largest dispatchable energy source and peaking plant, helping to reduce costs for all GMP customers while boosting resiliency and grid flexibility.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Enphase to bring cutting-edge technology directly to our customers — strengthening the grid, improving reliability and driving down costs,” said Mari McClure, president and CEO of GMP. “These innovative solutions are already helping customers stay powered through increasingly severe storms and grid events. We’re expanding access so more people can enjoy true energy independence and resilience, transforming the grid into a dynamic, two-way system — interconnected, adaptable and stronger together.”
GMP and Enphase also expect to partner in bringing Vermonters the latest innovations, including access to Enphase’s bidirectional electric vehicle charger. The IQ Bidirectional EV Charger is expected to launch in 2026 and will enable electric vehicles to power homes if the grid is down or send power to the grid during peak demand, adding another form of energy storage to GMP’s growing suite of flexible home energy offerings.
GMP’s battery lease program will offer eligible customers a ten-year lease of two IQ Battery 10C systems at $55 per month or a one-time payment of $5,500. All products in the 4th-generation Enphase Energy System – including the IQ Battery 10C, IQ Meter Collar, and IQ Combiner 6C — come with Enphase’s 15-year warranty, 24/7 customer service and access to the Enphase App for advanced system performance monitoring. Enphase also recently announced first shipments of the IQ Battery 10C supplied from manufacturing facilities in the United States that meet the new domestic content requirements.
