Distributed grid growing

“The distributed grid is moving beyond the hype, and its importance is growing. Both utilities and their C&I customers agree that DERs will be important for their organizations’ future success. Nearly 85% of utilities agree, with 48% of them strongly agreeing. Nearly three-quarters of C&I customers agree, too, with 36% of them strongly agreeing. (Figure 1).”
