Distributed Energy Resources
Rakon Energy’s work focuses on advancing the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and advanced demand response (auto-DR) under FERC Order 2222, and expanding participation of electric storage resources under FERC Order 841. Our goal is to ensure that DERs and storage can fully participate in wholesale electricity markets in a fair, transparent, and competitive manner—often through third-party aggregation.
When aggregated, DERs provide multiple grid benefits, including the ability to respond rapidly to emergencies and help prevent blackouts.
