Can Your “DER” Unlock Our Clean Energy Future?
About this episode
Today’s energy grid needs more flexibility to balance supply and demand as traditional “peaking” generators retire, electrification expands, and extreme weather events multiply. While virtual power plants have been providing value to the grid for years, their potential value only continues to increase as the number of distributed energy resources (DERs) grows. Mike Smith, CEO at CPower, sat down to discuss how CPower helps customers optimize their DERs, meeting the demands of our energy grid while rewarding customers for reducing their energy use. Learn how Virtual Power Plants ensure that no DER value is left behind as we collectively work towards a clean energy future.
