Distributed Energy Resource

In order to provide an alternative to or an enhancement of the traditional electric power system, a distributed energy resource (DER) is located in close proximity to where electricity is used. This technology (DER) gives everyone an opportunity at lowering costs, reducing emissions, and increasing the likelihood of expanding opportunities to install and use DER equipment for the future.

This development by CHP’s Cooling, Heating and Power Technologies program helps cuts wasteful energy use while saving money. CHP’s priority is to provide the latest technologies to become a more efficient community.
