Where are you able to see your rate and what block you are in? Is there any sort of SMART portal or is it just statements you receive in the post or email?
I have only submitted documents but I don’t believe I have received anything back from SMART/Eversource with the rates.
It was in the email from my installer's office manager.
When we started the process I was told I would be in block 4 for SMART program, but it was filling faster and I thought we would be in Block 5, but we still ended up in Block 4. And I even didn't know that storage adder varies based on tranche as well.
When my application was approved, I received the legal document (email) from MA Dept of Energy Resources including all related info including name, address, installer (listed as representative) , my generation unit ID, and compensation rates including:
- base rate .027538 (it was mentioned "Block 4")
- energy storage adder 0.04285
- value of energy rate -0.21031
total SMART incentive rate .0.10792
You could find more info here
MA-Smart Solar , including email for questions, The current state of program could be find under "updates" . there are separate links for rates and energy adders there.
Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target (SMART) Program
so theoretically if you know the confirmed dates of filing (or acceptance) of your application you should be able to figure out your block and tranche.
