Picture this: utilities leading the charge, rolling out clean energy faster and exactly where it’s needed most. This is where innovation meets impact. Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) gave us a glimpse of what distributed energy can do, but the Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) model is turning things up a notch. Understand the role of VPPs in DER Deployment.👇 #CleanEnergy #Utilites

Imagine a world where the energy grid is not just reliable, but smarter, more efficient, and community-driven. 🌍 We’re making that vision a reality with Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP). By empowering utilities to harness the power of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)—like solar panels or battery storage—we’re helping to meet the energy demands of the grid. Instead of relying solely on large, centralized power plants, this approach leverages a network of smaller, distributed sources of energy generation and storage.⚡️ Allowing utilities to integrate DERs into their core planning can boost economic development, support growth, and lower costs across the board. Get the full story here.👇

The Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) model is gaining serious momentum, and utilities like Xcel Energy are leading the charge! ⚡️ Xcel is proposing the DCP approach to power the upper Midwest grid by building a network of solar-powered energy storage hubs that work together like a virtual power plant—only better. By leaning into the DCP model, Xcel is leveraging utility planning to create a faster, more scalable deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), delivering greater value to both the grid and ratepayers. This innovative approach also brings local economic benefits, making it a win for communities and clean energy advocates alike. Stay tuned for more updates. 🔋

🚀Big News from Sparkfund! 🚀 We're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking achievement in the realm of clean energy financing. Sparkfund, in partnership with Secured Carbon, has successfully enabled the sale of Inflation Reduction Act (#IRA) investment tax credits valued at $250,000 to an individual taxpayer. This pioneering transaction brings the benefits of clean energy projects to all taxpayers, allowing everyone to participate in the U.S. energy transition! By connecting distributed energy projects with companies and individual investors, we're democratizing access to discounted green investments. The first to take advantage? A high-net-worth retiree from NYC, who has now reduced their tax liability while accelerating the clean energy transition through investments in EV charging facilities across California and Georgia. 🌱⚡️ Our innovative approach is changing the game for both sellers and buyers in the multi-billion dollar IRA tax credit market. By opening doors for smaller players to register and transfer tax credits, we're catalyzing a more liquid, competitive, and mature market. This is a massive step forward in achieving our nation's energy infrastructure goals right when our grid needs it the most! Learn more about how Sparkfund and Secured Carbon are paving the way for a sustainable future. 👇

What an incredible RE+! 🌟 Our CEO, Pier LaFarge, had the honor of joining Jigar Shah, Ryan Long from Xcel Energy, and Josephine Tucker from JLL to dive deep into the potential of the Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) model. The panel explored how utilities can leverage the existing expertise in solar and battery development—working with partners like Sparkfund—to strategically deploy Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and bring the future of energy to life. Ryan said it best: "What I like about the DCP model is it allows us to leverage the expertise that already exists in the development community and the expertise that exists at Sparkfund to combine that with our planning expertise for deploying DERs more strategically.” After the panel, we connected with some amazing people in the industry to keep the conversation going. We can’t wait to see what’s next for the energy transition. ⚡️ #REPlus24
