Unlocking a Greener Grid: DERs, Electrification, and the Future of Energy

​Distributed energy resources are reshaping how we generate, deliver, and value electricity. But scaling DERs from pilot projects to grid infrastructure requires more than technology: it requires transparent measurement, credible certification, and transaction systems that make distributed energy bankable. Join us for a panel discussion, presented by WattCarbon and hosted by AECOM, to explore how electrification and DER growth are creating new demands on the grid, what it takes to turn rooftop solar, storage, and efficiency into trusted, tradeable assets, and how independent verification closes the gap between clean energy claims and provable impact. Panelists will discuss the market infrastructure, policy frameworks, and data standards needed to unlock a truly distributed, decarbonized grid.
