The 50 States of Solar: States Focus on Value of Distributed
The report finds that 49 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, took some type of distributed solar policy action during 2025 (see figure below), with the greatest number of
Distributed Energy Resources: Technology for Affordable, Resilient
DERs are key to delivering, clean, affordable energy while giving consumers more say about where their energy comes from and how they use it. That''s a big reason DERs have become
Taking the long view: Unlocking the Value of Long-Duration Energy Storage
It is a diverse technology class with a range of potential system forms, including electrochemical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical energy storage. There is broad consensus that
Executive summary – Unlocking the Potential of Distributed Energy
Distributed energy resources offer multiple benefits to consumers, support decarbonisation, and improve resilience. The primary beneficiaries of DERs are the consumers who own them. Distributed PV can
Distributed Energy Storage
Dispatchable distributed energy storage can be used for grid control, reliability, and resiliency, thereby creating additional value for the consumer. Unlike distributed generation, the value of distributed
Distribution System Evolution
Today, the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) in the United States is uneven; certain areas have significant adoption, whereas others have a very low percentage.
The Role of Distributed Energy Resources in the Future of the Grid
The more barriers you allow to distributed energy resources and competitive large-scale non-utility generation, the more likely they will succeed through disruption, rather than through coordination and
Distributed Energy Resources Can Drive Grid Resilience, Customer
Bidirectional distributed energy resources (DER) can generate, store, and flexibly draw energy from the grid. This shift places utilities at the center of new opportunities to embrace a shift...
Storage Futures Study -Distributed Solar and Storage Outlook
SFS: Planned reports and discussed reports today = discussed today The Four Phases of Storage Deployment: This report examines the framework developed around energy storage deployment and
Understanding the Value of Distributed Energy Resources
New research examines what value these technologies bring to the grid and how utilities should structure payments for them in the distributed energy system of tomorrow.
