Grid Flexibility
Grid Flexibility
10X the amount of DER that can safely and reliably interconnect to your feeders with our Flexible DER Enablement solution.
Instead of capping DER based on traditional feeder peak-load limits, unlock full customer participation — including data centers and Bring Your Own Capacity (BYOC) customers with on-site generation — by connecting them directly to the substation for active grid flexibility.
The CALM Power Broker dispatches both supply and demand response through scalable, automated flexible contract commitments and real-time interoperability with smart-node interoperability. We deliver a complete turn-key onboarding and integration process for all customer DER and BYOC resources, slashing interconnection costs and complexity while ensuring reliable, ongoing, and scalable interoperability with every distributed energy resource on your system.
