Making the Best Business Case for DERs and Microgrids: Nov. 9 Webinar with CPower

Oct. 31, 2023
Join the energy management experts at CPower Energy next week as they highlight value streams and market details which strengthen project development of DERs and microgrids by customers including those in the commercial and industrial sectors

Distributed energy resource (DER) projects are exponentially growing in numbers and changing the landscape of power generation everywhere. This expansion, however, doesn’t mean it’s easy or quick to resolve the financing and development challenges of the DER and microgrid projects.

The decentralization of the grid via on-site power and distributed technologies needs money to maintain momentum, and that financier wants to gain confidence in the value streams provided by DERs and microgrids. Demand response, virtual power plant (VPP) and grid resiliency benefits are increasing, and yet interconnection delays and worries over payback can impede the momentum.

Knowledge is power, and understanding how to evaluate site-specific performance data and energy market options to create cost projections and insights can help get projects greenlighted.

Join the virtual power plant experts at CPower next week as they highlight value streams and market details which strengthen project development of DERs and microgrids by customers including those in the commercial and industrial sectors. Power resiliency and sustainability are the twin goals for these customers.

How to Make Projects Pencil and Increase Returns with DER Optimization” will be the free, one-hour webinar happening 11 a.m. ET on Thursday, Nov. 9. The event is sponsored by CPower and hosted by both EnergyTech and Microgrid Knowledge.

The three panelists with deeply experienced DER and microgrid market insights include Millie Knowlton, director of strategic planning and business development, at CPower. She will be joined by Rob Windle, CPower vice president for strategic planning and business development; and Brad Widdup, director of distributed generation at CPower.
