Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Solutions Collaboratives (DERISC)

In Spring 2025, ENERGYWERX, a Partnership Intermediary for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), will be launching the Interconnection Innovation e-Xchange (i2X) Program’s Distributed Energy Resources Interconnection Solutions Collaboratives (DERISC) Opportunity. This $8 million DERISC Opportunity will fund up to eight local, state, or regional collaboratives to facilitate interconnection process improvements which align with stakeholders needs, using any of the 39 solutions identified in the DOE's Distributed Energy Resource (DER) Interconnection Roadmap.  This DERISC Opportunity will leverage collaboratives (possible stakeholders include utilities, DER developers, state and local agencies, researchers, and public interest groups) to foster and support local, state, and regional interconnection stakeholder collaboratives to streamline interconnection processes using practical solutions.  Applicants are encouraged to sign up and use the Teaming Partner List (available now) to connect with partners interested in similar topic areas within the same geographic regions.
