Think of the grid like a dynamic, interconnected network with thousands of interdependent nodes. The challenge is balancing increasing demand, aging infrastructure, and the need for decarbonization, all while keeping the system efficient and reliable. Sparkfund’s Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP) isn’t about adding more generation indiscriminately—it’s about strategically placing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to optimize grid performance where it matters most. Here’s how DCP drives smarter grid solutions: ✅Faster Time-to-Power - we leverage modular DERs for rapid response to grid needs and electrification efforts. ✅Buildings Become Powerhouses - we partner with building owners to host these assets on their rooftops or properties. ✅Collaborative Planning - we work closely with utilities to integrate these DERs into the grid’s overall plan. It’s about creating a smarter, localized, and more efficient energy ecosystem that works for everyone.

Hear Sparkfund CEO Pier LaFarge explain how building owners can become key players in the energy transition by hosting utility-planned solar and battery assets. It’s a win-win: utilities avoid costly infrastructure upgrades like transformers and substations by placing clean energy assets where they’re needed most, and building owners gain a more reliable, efficient energy system while getting paid to host the assets. Watch for details. 👇
