Distributed Energy Resources “DERs” can provide on-site generation of both electricity and heat. RENEW funds a wide variety of DER’s including Combined Heating and Cooling “CHP”, Fuel Cells, Energy Storage and Renewables. DERs produce no or low amounts of carbon and can keep operating when there are power outages on the grid. They can replace generators that run on fossil fuels while providing the mission-critical always-on power requirements for hospitals and healthcare facilities.
With 7% of energy lost in transmission from the power plant, in addition to energy independence, savings from on-site generation go right to your and the planet’s bottom line!
