Distributed Energy Resources
Clean energy and energy storage systems need to be connected to the distribution grid through a process known as interconnection. As the number of installations rapidly
What Is Distributed Energy and How Does It Work?
A distributed energy system can reduce the frequency of outages by drawing power from multiple sources, rather than a centralized power system. Here''s everything you need to

Distributed energy resource (DER) systems are small-scale power generation or storage technologies (typically in the range of 1 kW to 10,000 kW) used to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system. DER systems typically are characterized by high initial capital costs per kilowatt. DER systems also serve as storage device and are often called Distributed energy storage systems (DESS).
Distributed generation
While the levelized cost of DG is typically more expensive than conventional, centralized sources on a kilowatt-hour basis, this does not consider negative aspects of conventional fuels.

As of June 2025, 40 states and Puerto Rico have considered over 280 pieces of legislation related to DERs and distributions systems this year. Below are examples of recently
How much electricity can distributed energy storage store?
Lithium-ion batteries typically present capacities in the range of kilowatt-hours (kWh) to megawatt-hours (MWh), depending on their configuration. Conversely, traditional
Distributed Energy Resources: Technology for Affordable, Resilient Power
Today, DERs provide 8% of the energy supply in Belgium and nearly 10% in Australia. In the U.S., they account for less than 5% of the energy supply, but experts expect
Distributed Energy Resources: A How-To Guide
Distributed energy resources are small, modular, energy generation and storage technologies that provide electric capacity or energy where you need it. Typically producing less than 10
