Summary

Securing funding and host site/off-taker contracting often are the most challenging parts of developing new distributed energy resource (DER) projects, but DER optimization solutions can make it easier. Learn how energy users, project developers and owners can evaluate site-specific performance data and energy market options to create cost projections and insights that get projects greenlighted.

Optimizing DERs involves choosing between all available value streams in each day or hour based on which would be most lucrative, and value streams can differ substantially depending on the details of the site, DER project type, and local/regional energy market details. Successful DER projects justify investments by creating project financial models that account for all possible revenue and savings based on the site, asset, and market constraints and the real-time values of available opportunities. In this webinar, you will learn how you can make your projects get the math right and increase returns by optimizing your DERs throughout every stage.
