National Grid offers Fall River homes free home battery systems

National Grid is launching a pilot program that will provide no-cost home battery systems to as many as 125 income-eligible households in the Fall River area. The BackupBattery+ program will offer systems with up to 45 kWh of battery storage, according to a community announcement. The batteries can provide at least four hours of backup power during outages while also helping reduce demand on the local electric grid when electricity use is high. National Grid is partnering with Haven Energy and Citizens for Citizens on outreach to eligible residents. The pilot is designed to test whether coordinated residential batteries can address local grid needs while expanding access to technology that can carry significant upfront costs. “BackupBattery+ will deliver a direct benefit to Fall River area customers, providing no-cost access to backup power and battery storage technologies that have traditionally been out of reach for many households,” said Steve Caldwell, vice president of Energy Efficiency and Clean Programs at National Grid. “This pilot will also help us test how coordinated home batteries can address local grid needs and learn whether this model can deliver meaningful value for participating households, the local community, and the broader electric system.” How the home battery

She started dancing in the Roaring ’20s. At 102, Cape Cod’s ‘Tiny’ hasn’t stopped

When Grace Marie Ferreira wiggled her toes upon hearing music as a child in the Roaring ‘20s, her mother declared she would be a dancer . Now Grace Catrambone , 102 years old and 4 feet 9 inches tall, is still dancing several times a week and is well-known in Falmouth and across Cape Cod at ballroom and line dancing events as “Tiny the Dancer.” “My faith and my dancing have kept me going,” she said in her cozy Falmouth apartment on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Born in Falmouth on May 27, 1924, she also credits family and friends for helping her to keep active and live independently. Grace points out the many framed photos surrounding her living room – the 1906 wedding portrait of her parents, George and Anna Ferreira; her twin brother, Anthony, in his Merchant Marine uniform; her great-granddaughters and her many current friends at their dance parties. She also proudly notes several quilt hangings featuring her favorite cardinals, made by her daughter Ruthann as well as special gifts, including a small tree that was loaded with $100 bills on her 100 th birthday. Catrambone grew up on one of Falmouth’s biggest farms Grace's mother, born in 1882,
