Climate change is transforming the energy market as communities, cities, states, and industries are striving to reduce carbon from the energy sources they utilize. DERs have proven to be effective solutions to help meet these challenges, but the complexity of choosing the right solution at the right scale for customers has been a challenge. The DERNetSoft platform provides the tools to help customers, their communities, and businesses work together to optimize and deploy these solutions. By working with entire communities, DER are delivered at lower costs while helping to improve local grid resilience and energy security.

The strategic deployment with our partners will allow scale deployments to be achieved through the DERNetSoft energy marketplace by effectively engaging government, commercial, industrial, and residential customers. This fully integrated solution allows DER to become a fully functional part of the energy marketplace to drive field proven increases in overall grid efficiency and resilience, further reducing energy’s impact on the environment.

However, this integration is not just a matter of technology, policy or finance,” said Alberto Colombo, DERNetSoft’s Founder and President. “It can only be achieved if we provide effective and easy-to-use tools to simplify the complexities that surround DERs, their interconnection, and market participation. We are excited to be part of this initiative to help make it easy for customers, and their entire communities, to engage and help solve our most significant energy challenges.”
