As energy demand surges across the U.S., Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are becoming critical tools for balancing the grid, enhancing resilience, and optimizing market efficiency. From Texas to PJM, CAISO to MISO, states and ISOs are exploring innovative ways to leverage DERs—including solar, storage, demand response, and microgrids—to manage peak loads, integrate renewables, and defer costly infrastructure upgrades.

This panel will dive into:
•    How DERs alleviate grid strain during periods of extreme demand
•    Lessons from Texas and other leading markets on DER integration
•    Policy and market structures that enable DER participation across different ISOs
•    The future role of DERs in ensuring a more flexible, reliable, and cost-effective energy system

Join industry experts as they unpack the opportunities and challenges in scaling DERs to meet the demands of a rapidly growing and electrifying economy.
