#ClimateWeekNYC takeaway: capacity must show up faster, with less drama. While big wires get built, DCP unlocks headroom now at the feeder/building level: plan → deploy → dispatch like utility assets. Thanks for the great convos! ⚡️️

Enough theoreticals. Here’s the “how.” 👇 This 6-step DCP roadmap, included in the SEPA white paper, turns utility-led DERs into an executable plan. Swipe the carousel, then grab the paper to dig into roles, filings, and on-the-ground execution.

Customer-driven DERs have moved the ball downfield. Utility-led deployment adds the missing piece: scale, siting, and system integration. Our blog explains how Distributed Capacity Procurement (DCP0 works alongside market adoption. Read here: hubs.la/Q03GwJXx0

Think 5G... but for electrons. When carriers needed coverage, buildings hosted antennas and collected checks while the carrier ran the hardware. Hosting DERs is the same idea: hubs.la/Q03Gc3g30

We know the grid is under pressure, so how do we keep pace? History offers a clue: In 2011, when solar and storage needed scale, utilities played a central role. Today, we face a similar inflection point. DCP gives utilities the ability to deploy DERs strategically, creating…

By 2030, DERs could meet 10–20% of local peak demand. But how do we get there? SEPA's new white paper outlines the strategy: Distributed Capacity Procurement —a utility-led model for deploying DERs at infrastructure scale. 🔗 Download the white paper: hubs.la/Q03C893w0

DERs are emerging as a core part of today’s grid strategy. As @plafarge explains, utilities recognize them as one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to add capacity and improve reliability during a period of historic load growth.

Batteries are still standing — not because of politics, but because they work. As @JigarShahDC put it: clean energy delivers real value. That’s the shift DCP is built for: DERs as infrastructure, planned and dispatched like core capacity. 🎧 Listen in: hubs.la/Q03zmFgR0

🚨 It’s here: @sepa just released a white paper on DCP — a utility-led model to deploy DERs like batteries where the grid needs them most. Sparkfund helped shape this model. This is how we meet today’s demand without waiting on tomorrow’s substation: hubs.la/Q03yL8mf0
