⚙ BMS Charge Throttle
FOM/FR projects: install full nameplate capacity -> maximize CEJA incentive -> BMS limits charge rate to satisfy IEEE 1547 / ComEd interconnection screen. PJM then dispatches within BMS limits.
BMS charge rate limit (kW) -- feeder screen uses this instead of ¼ nameplate:
kW max charge
Investor note: CEJA incentive is on nameplate kWh -- not operating kWh. BMS charge limiting satisfies IEEE 1547 / ComEd interconnection screen for FOM systems. PJM RegD dispatch operates within BMS charge limits. Full discharge capacity available for frequency regulation response.
⚡ Size BESS from DER
Reads the DER placed on the site map — solar, wind, gensets, fuel cell — and sizes storage to capture it. Adjust the strategy and target duration, then apply to the specs below.
No DER placed yet — add DER from the Generation ribbon, or enter a nameplate below.
🧩 Integrated on the BESS pad
Check what ships on the container pad. Guided Build will skip the separate device and re-route the conduit so the chain stays continuous (battery → EMS → meter → POI).

• Rebate amount: $250/kWh (C&I) to $300/kWh (residential / small commercial) of nameplate storage capacity
• Standalone eligibility: ✅ Standalone BESS qualifies WITHOUT solar -- solar pairing requirement removed by IL CEJA (Public Act 102-0662, eff. Sept 2021). Solar is optional.
• Customer type: All commercial customers in ComEd service territory (northern Illinois) qualify -- businesses, nonprofits, institutions
• Rate plan: C&I customers must enroll in BESH rate plan upon rebate acceptance (required condition)
• Demand response: C&I customers must participate in ComEd peak load reduction / demand response program (required condition per Rider SDVPP/BYODLR)
• Pre-approval: Required BEFORE installation -- submit pre-approval application first to reserve rebate amount
• Stacking: Stacks with Federal ITC 30% (IRA §48E) + MACRS 5-yr depreciation + potential IL Shines if solar added later
• Payment timing: Paid after installation verification and meter confirmation . 60-90 day processing typical
• ITC interaction: Utility rebates generally do NOT reduce ITC basis -- confirm with tax advisor
• Program authority: ComEd Tariff Rider SDVPP/BYODLR . ICC Docket 25-0678 . IL CEJA Public Act 102-0662

AI Grid Pre-Qualification
Feeder capacity . interconnection feasibility . max BESS size
⚠ This analysis is AI-generated. The serving utility and interconnection rule are inferred from the site's state — service territory does not follow state lines, and municipal/co-op carve-outs are common — so always confirm the actual serving utility and its published hosting-capacity data before project commitment. Screening parameters follow IEEE 1547; incentive and tariff details are jurisdiction-specific. Requires an AI token (Settings → AI Keys) for full analysis — runs heuristic estimate without a token.
