HOME BATTERY - TEXAS

Whole-home backup power. Fixed rate electricity plans.
No upfront cost.

When the grid goes down, your home doesn't have to.

A BETTER WAY

Your home, backed up. Your rate, locked in.

Most home battery systems cost between $15,000 and $30,000 to purchase and install. Energywell offers a different model entirely—one where the battery comes at no upfront cost to you, your electricity rate is fixed and protected for five years, and comes with a Lowest Rate Guarantee at every renewal.

Energywell installs and owns the battery. In exchange for long-term participation in their Connected Energy Community—a network of homes that uses stored energy more intelligently—Energywell covers the cost of the hardware and installation. You get whole-home backup power and a competitive electricity plan specific to your state. Energywell manages the rest.

It's a different kind of energy model—and it's available in Texas right now.
WHY JOIN

Here's what comes with the program.

Whole-home battery backup
The EcoFlow OCEAN Pro battery system—named a TIME Magazine Best Invention of 2025—installs at your home and kicks in automatically during an outage. Most customers don't even notice the disruption.
$0 to get started
No equipment purchase. No installation fee. Just a fully refundable $99 reservation fee to save your spot and cover the cost of your Virtual Site Survey, plan sets, and permits. That $99 comes back after your first bill—or in full if you change your mind before permits are submitted.
Competitive Electricity Plans
Your electricity supply rate is fixed for the first five years, with a $19/month base charge. Energywell's Lowest Rate Guarantee applies at every renewal—if you find a lower comparable fixed rate publicly listed on PowerToChoose.org and Energywell can't match or beat it, you can exit the program and the battery is removed at no cost.
Connected
Energy Community
When you join Energywell, your home becomes part of a network working together to use energy more efficiently. That coordination is what makes the no-upfront-cost model possible—and it's what makes the grid a little more resilient for everyone.

ELIGIBILITY

Is your home a fit?

The Energywell program is designed for homeowners in eligible service areas. Here's what's generally required to qualify: You own a single-family home and have your name on the utility bill. Your home doesn't have an existing battery system or solar installation. You meet the credit score threshold for your market. In Texas, AutoPay and paperless billing are required.If your home doesn't qualify for the battery program, nothing changes—your existing Think Energy service continues as normal.

The hardware behind it.

Built on a model that works.

Energywell's approach—installing batteries at no upfront cost in exchange for long-term program participation—is what makes this offer possible. The Connected Energy Community model creates value for the grid, which creates the economics that cover your hardware and installation. It's not a gimmick. It's a different way of thinking about how homes and the grid that powers them can work together to better manage our energy.

Common questions about the Home Battery program.

What does $0 upfront cost actually mean?

There's no equipment purchase and no installation fee. The only thing you pay at sign-up is a fully refundable $99 deposit, which covers the cost of your Virtual Site Survey, plan sets, and permits. That deposit is returned after your first bill once the battery is installed and active—or in full if you cancel before permits are submitted.

Who owns the battery?

Energywell does. They install it, own it, and manage it for the full 15-year term of the battery agreement. You don't manage the hardware—Energywell handles everything.

What happens if I sell my home?

The battery agreement can be transferred to a new qualified customer at no cost or penalty. Energywell assists with the process—just give them notice as you approach closing.

What happens during an outage?

Your home switches to battery power automatically—typically in under 10milliseconds. Most customers only learn about an outage after the fact. Howlong the battery lasts depends on your home's energy usage and the battery'scharge level at the time of the outage. Backup duration is not guaranteed.

Can I control the battery myself?

Energywell manages battery operation automatically. You can view your current State of Charge on the smart panel of your battery system, and Energywell's care team can answer battery status questions beyond what your panel displays.

What if I want to cancel?

Cancellation terms depend on timing and market. If you cancel before permits are submitted, your $99 deposit is fully refunded. Early termination of the battery agreement after that point may result in an uninstall fee—the amount and conditions are defined in your Battery Services Agreement. Exiting under the Lowest Rate Guarantee at renewal carries no fees or penalties.

What's the Lowest Rate Guarantee?

At every renewal of your five-year electricity contract, Energywell guarantees your rate will beat the best comparable rate available in your market. If they can't match it, you can exit the program—battery removed at no cost, no fees, no penalties. In Texas, comparable rates must be fixed, the same term length, non-promotional, and publicly listed on PowerToChoose.org.
