DOE Distributed Energy Systems Program
In September 2023, the Office of Clean Energy Demonstration (OCED) announced up to $50 million in funding for projects that can demonstrate that aggregated and coordinated Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) can provide reliable, predictable grid services for a wide range of system configurations.
DERs have the potential to reduce peak demand, increase reliability and resilience, reduce strain on the transmission and distribution systems, and provide enhanced value and/or reduced costs to the grid operators and energy consumers if operated in a coordinated, flexible manner.
