BC Hydro ESI Enrollment Workflow with Sponge
A swimlane walkthrough of every step — from feasibility study to DERMS commissioning — for enrolling a commercial battery in BC Hydro's Energy Storage Incentive program with Sponge as system integrator.
BC Hydro's Energy Storage Incentive (ESI) program pays a per-kWh incentive on commercial batteries enrolled in the utility's DERMS — operated through Uplight's Autogrid Flex platform. The enrollment process spans five parties, three phases of payouts, and roughly a year of coordinated work.
The two-page swimlane below maps every handoff between the customer, the EPC, Sponge, BC Hydro, and Uplight. Page three is a curated list of the official BC Hydro reference documents you'll need at each step.
