Flexible DER
Flexible DER Enablement
10X the amount of DER that can safely and reliably interconnect to your feeders through our Flexible DER enablement solution. Instead of limiting DER on feeders based on feeder peak load design, enable all your customers to participate in demand and supply response with CALM Power Broker’s dispatching of DER supply and demand through scalable automated flexible contract commitments and interoperability.
We provide turn-key process management of customer DER sign-up and integration, enabling low cost scalability of DER interconnections and inter-active programs, which then provides the reliable ongoing interoperability with these distributed energy resources.
