Your battery is installed. You got a $5,000 rebate. Done, right? Wrong. If you don't enroll in Peak Saver within 14 days of interconnection approval, your rebate shrinks to $1,500. That's a $3,500 mistake happening constantly.
What changed April 1, 2026
Before: install battery, claim $5,000. After: $5,000 only if enrolled in Peak Saver within 14 days, else $1,500. Same battery. Different payout. One deadline.
The 14-day clock
Timeline: installer installs → submits to BC Hydro → BC Hydro approves (5–10 days) → 14-day clock starts. You must enroll by day 14 or lose $3,500. BC Hydro won't waive it.
Make sure it doesn't happen
- Before signing: Ask installer "Will you enroll my battery in Peak Saver?" Get it in writing.
- After approval: Installer contacts you immediately. Day 1, not day 10.
- If no contact by day 3: Call them. Don't wait.
Why this matters: an installer who doesn't mention Peak Saver or leaves it to you is signaling they don't manage critical details.
