The demand for electricity in our region is projected to increase sharply in the coming years, driven largely by data centers. We know that the fastest, most cost effective way to make sure the grid has the capacity to accommodate this increased demand is through the use of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs). Sparkfund is a new company with a novel approach to bringing DERs to scale. I first heard about Sparkfund from an episode of David Roberts’ Volts podcast (which I highly recommend listening to as well), and given that Maryland very much needs to find ways of building new generation in-state quickly and cheaply, I immediately wanted to learn more. When I learned that Sparkfund is looking to work in Maryland, I of course wanted to have someone on this podcast to talk all about what this new approach will mean for our state.  I am honored today to joined by Brendan Reed who is the Vice-President of Sparkfund to tell us all about it.
