SCE Customers Can Get $200 Back on a Portable Power Station
If your home is served by a circuit that may be impacted by Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events, you may qualify for a $200 rebate on a portable power station — no capacity limit, and up to 5 rebates per SCE account. 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.
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 actually runs two separate portable backup power rebates, and they cover completely different products. Here's how to tell which one applies to you.
| Power Station Rebate (this page) | Portable Generator Rebate | |
|---|---|---|
| Rebate amount | $200 | $200, or up to $800 on CARE/FERA/Medical Baseline |
| What it covers | A lithium battery power station that recharges from a wall outlet | A gasoline, propane, natural gas, or diesel-powered generator |
| Capacity requirement | None | Minimum 1,000 watts or 1,000 watt-hours |
| Fuel needed? | No — plugs into any wall outlet | Yes — gasoline, propane, natural gas, or diesel |
| Income-based bonus | No | Yes, up to $800 total on qualifying assistance programs |
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 the $1,444 flagship, the SCE rebate is the same flat $200. Bigger units just mean more runtime and more devices covered.
| Model | Capacity | Price | SCE Rebate |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 Featured | 1,024Wh | $499 | $200 |
| BLUETTI Elite 300 | 3,014Wh | $1,099 | $200 |
| BLUETTI Elite 400 | 3,840Wh | $1,299 | $200 |
| BLUETTI Apex 300 | 2,765Wh base (expandable to 100kWh) | $1,444 | $200 |
