About Us

We are distributed energy providers and consumers united in our focus to create opportunities for customers to serve as resources to our electric grid.

Who are we?

We advocate for policies that empower and compensate customers appropriately–to contribute energy or energy-related services or to manage their energy usage–in a manner which contributes to a more efficient, cost-effective, resilient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable grid.

What is our Mission:

We are providers and supporters of Distributed Energy Resources, including Demand Response and Advanced Energy Management, united to overcome barriers to nationwide use of demand-side resources.
