GoodLeap's GoodGrid Program Terms

Overview

GoodLeap GoodGrid

The GoodGrid program connects residential battery systems to utility, grid operator, and state-run programs that support grid reliability. During grid events (“Events”), batteries in GoodGrid may discharge to support the electric grid.

The GoodGrid program is optional if you own your battery or if you are required to take any actions (such as signing up with a utility company). If you have a Lease or Power Purchase Agreement from GoodLeap, any associated battery may be automatically enrolled in the GoodGrid program as outlined in your agreement.

GoodLeap may receive compensation from utilities or grid operators for enrolling the battery and participating in grid Events.

How GoodGrid Dispatch Works

A GoodGrid Event may be triggered when grid demand is high, an ISO calls for support, or emergency reliability events occur.

GoodLeap or its authorized partners may:

  • Discharge the battery

  • Adjust charging schedules

  • Export stored energy to the grid

  • Optimize battery performance in accordance with local rules

In order to participate in GoodGrid, you must:

  • Maintain active internet connectivity

  • Allow required monitoring and remote scheduling

  • Not disable or interfere with battery functionality

  • Maintain authorizations or utility enrollments (as needed)

Batteries enrolled in GoodGrid will not be discharged below required backup reserve unless permitted by applicable program specifications. No minimum or maximum number of dispatch events are guaranteed. Refer to the terms and conditions of your local program for additional information.
