Delivering The Distributed Grid

Sparkfund is the deployment services company utilities rely on to take DERs from grid edge to grid core.

With over a decade of experience, Sparkfund has pioneered a smarter approach to distributed energy resources (DERs) deployment services. Through our Distributed Capacity Procurement model, we are reshaping the energy landscape with the utility-led deployment of DERs.

The Era of Flat Power Demand is Over

Nationwide, the 5-year load growth forecast has increased by almost a factor of five, driven by key industries, including manufacturing, artificial intelligence computing, and electrification. In many places, the grid is going to double or triple in the next 10 years. To meet this moment, utilities will build large-scale generation and transmission via their traditional system planning methods. The challenge is that many utility scale assets take five or more years to come online.

But demand is here today.

Distributed energy resources like battery energy storage, solar, and gas and diesel generators can help deliver capacity faster and where the grid needs it most.

It is time to harness the versatility of DERs to deploy capacity at the velocity and scale necessary to meet today's rapidly evolving energy needs.

Distributed Capacity Procurement

Sparkfund’s DCP model, a new tool for utilities, energy majors, and large-load customers, answers the energy market’s rapidly evolving and variable deployment rate with scale, flexibility, and speed. The DCP model harnesses the versatility of DERs to match deployment velocity and scale, allowing utilities to more accurately match deployment to demand growth and infrastructure need.
