The Grid Edge Opportunity: Building Resilience Through Decentralization As grids around the world face increasing pressures—from shifting demand patterns to aging infrastructure to extreme weather—grid-edge distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar, batteries, and EVs shouldn’t add to the strain. Instead, they should be the foundation of a more decentralized, resilient grid. The accelerating growth of DERs presents a transformative opportunity: to move beyond the limits of a centralized system and toward a network where power is generated, stored, and managed closer to where it’s needed. A decentralized grid can provide flexibility in times of peak...

Today at 12:30 MT, join Canary Media Inc. for a conversation on how decentralization can redefine grid resilience during their free webinar, "The Grid Edge Opportunity".
