PRODUCE YOUR OWN ENERGY

CONNECT TO THE GRID WITH DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES

DISTRIBUTED ENERGY RESOURCES

WHAT IS IT?
Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are energy generation or storage technologies that allow you to produce and consume electricity on your own. Utilizing solar panels, wind, biomass energy, or battery storage you can have less reliance on the electric grid and generate your own renewable energy. ECEC supports DERs as a viable and sound means of meeting electric needs of various consumer groups. We have actively participated in the administrative development of Distributed Energy Resources throughout Wisconsin.
