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.
