with Utility-Led DER Deployment

Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA)

Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) is transforming how utilities approach grid modernization and capacity planning. By proactively deploying, owning, and managing customer-sited distributed energy resources (DERs) at scale, utilities can strategically integrate DERs as core infrastructure assets. This white paper explores how DCP enables utilities to address immediate capacity needs, increase system utilization, and unlock multiple value streams through a systematic approach to planning, deployment, and dispatch of DERs.
