Sparkfund’s Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) program is reshaping how we integrate Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) into the grid. ⚡️ By empowering utilities to lead the charge in integrating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), we’re helping solve one of the biggest challenges: ensuring these resources are strategically placed and seamlessly integrated into the grid. This means more power where it’s needed, better customer experiences, and a vibrant, local energy ecosystem. See how utility-led DER deployment can accelerate progress. 👇 For mrore: https://hubs.la/Q02N1X-c0

🎙️ Doubling the U.S. electric grid is an immense challenge, one that Sparkfund's Pier LaFarge aptly compared to "the technical challenge of the space race and the economic scale of the highway system" on his recent appearance on Energy Matters with Office of Commissioner Tim Echols. At Sparkfund, we empower utilities to lead the charge in deploying distributed energy resources (DERs) strategically across their territories. By making DERs a core part of utility planning, we can accelerate the energy transition, meet growing capacity needs faster, and unlock grid value. 🔌⚡ Have a listen to learn more! https://hubs.la/Q02KFj1G0 #UtilityInnovation #EnergyTransition #DERs #Utility-ledDeployment

⚡ The energy transition is in full swing, and DERs are taking center stage! In a recent podcast interview on Renewable Energy World's Factor This, our CEO Pier LaFarge shared insights on how Sparkfund envisions utility-led DER deployment as the path forward to unlocking grid value at scale. 🔌 As Pier put it, "Something that’s always made Sparkfund different is a belief that the energy transition is going to be about infrastructure and less about customer choice and adoption. When you take that mindset, it leads you to the idea that utilities have a foundational role of providing this enormous machine, a landscape-scale grid that determines everything." 💡🏢 Tune in to learn how we're partnering with utilities to accelerate the energy transition and DER deployment to where the grid needs it the most.

Sparkfund CEO Pier LaFarge participated on a panel at the Mid-America Regulatory Conference (MARC) panel last week to share Sparkfund's insights on how we can unlock grid value and accelerate DERs for the benefit of customers and the grid, highlighting, "Programs that include a centralized planning mechanism from the utility that directly transfers grid value to customers have shown the ability to enroll more customers faster and for lower overall cost." A big thank you to the MARC conference organizers for hosting such an informative event and providing the space to highlight the importance of creating programs that can scale to help grow the grid most efficiently. Looking forward to more insightful discussions in the future! #MARC #RegulatoryConference #UtilityPlanning #CustomerBenefits
