Delivering The Distributed Grid

Sparkfund helps utilities, energy majors, and building owners unlock the built environment and transform buildings into a valuable extension of the grid.

With over a decade of experience as a utility services company, Sparkfund has pioneered a smarter approach to distributed energy resources (DERs) deployment services. Through our Distributed Capacity Procurement model, we are reshaping the energy landscape with the utility-led deployment of DERs.

The Era of Flat Power Demand is Over

Nationwide, the 5-year load growth forecast has increased by almost a factor of five, driven by key industries, including manufacturing, artificial intelligence computing, and electrification. In many places, the grid is going to double or triple in the next 10 years. To meet this moment, utilities will build large-scale generation and transmission via their traditional system planning methods. The challenge is that many utility scale assets take five or more years to come online.

But demand is here today.

Distributed energy resources like battery energy storage, solar, and gas and diesel generators can help deliver capacity faster and where the grid needs it most.

It is time to harness the versatility of DERs to deploy capacity at the velocity and scale necessary to meet today's rapidly evolving energy needs.
