SCE Customers Can Get $200 Back on a Portable Power Station
If your home is on a circuit that may be affected by Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), you may qualify for a $200 rebate on a portable power station — no capacity limit, and up to 5 rebates per SCE account. SCE also offers a separate generator rebate of up to $800, and we compare both below. Here's how to check your address and which battery to buy.
Yes, if it uses a lithium battery, recharges from a wall outlet, and includes surge protection. There's no capacity limit, unlike some other utility rebates.
$200 per qualifying power station. Each SCE service address can receive up to 5 rebates, so multiple units can each qualify separately.
The BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 is a strong pick at 1,024 watt-hours. Since SCE has no capacity cap, larger BLUETTI models also qualify if you want more backup power.
SCE has a separate generator rebate of up to $800 for homes in shutoff-affected areas. For a permanent home battery, customers whose power comes from Clean Power Alliance and who have solar may qualify for up to $3,500.
See the CPA Battery Rebate →Who Qualifies for the SCE Portable Power Station Rebate?
You need a residential SCE account, and your address has to be served by a circuit that may be impacted by Public Safety Power Shutoff events. There's no income requirement — the $200 rebate applies the same to every qualifying residential customer.
This rebate is not available to business, multifamily dwelling, commercial, nonprofit, industrial, public entity, or farmland customers. It's built for homeowners and renters with a residential SCE account.
Is This the Same as SCE's $800 Rebate?
No. SCE runs two separate portable backup power rebates, and they cover completely different products. If you'd rather have a permanent battery that backs up your home automatically, Clean Power Alliance customers have a third option. Here's how all three compare.
| Power Station Rebate (this page) | Portable Generator Rebate | Permanent Home Battery Rebate | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who offers it | SCE | SCE | Clean Power Alliance |
| Rebate amount | $200 | $200, or up to $800 on CARE/FERA/Medical Baseline | $2,000 base, up to $3,500 total |
| What it covers | A lithium battery power station that recharges from a wall outlet | A gasoline, propane, natural gas, or diesel-powered generator | A wall-mounted home battery paired with new or existing solar |
| Capacity requirement | None | Minimum 1,000 watts or 1,000 watt-hours | Minimum 5 kWh battery |
| Fuel needed? | No — plugs into any wall outlet | Yes — gasoline, propane, natural gas, or diesel | No — recharges from your solar panels |
| Bonus amounts | No | Yes, up to $800 total on qualifying assistance programs | +$1,250 in shutoff-prone areas, plus $250 for CARE/FERA or Medical Baseline |
The permanent battery rebate is only for homes whose electricity comes from Clean Power Alliance (many cities in Los Angeles and Ventura counties) — SCE bundled customers aren't eligible. Amounts are set by Clean Power Alliance and can change. See the CPA Battery Rebate →
Which Power Station Should You Buy?
Since SCE doesn't cap capacity, the real question isn't "does it qualify" — nearly every BLUETTI model does. It's how much backup power you actually need.
$200 Rebate — Same Amount at Every Price Point Whether you buy the $499 entry model or a $1,400+ flagship, the SCE rebate is the same flat $200. Bigger units just mean more runtime and more devices covered.

|---|---|---|---|
| BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 Featured | 1,024Wh | $499 | $200 |
| BLUETTI Elite 400 | 3,840Wh | $1,399 | $200 |
| BLUETTI Apex 300 | 2,765Wh base (expandable to 58kWh) | $1,499sale · $1,699 regular | $200 |
| BLUETTI Elite 300 | 3,014Wh | $1,699regular · often on sale | $200 |
