Definition ∞ Distributed Energy Resources refer to smaller, decentralized sources of energy generation and storage that are located closer to the points of consumption. These include solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage systems, and electric vehicles capable of feeding energy back into the grid. Their integration aims to enhance grid resilience, reduce transmission losses, and facilitate a more sustainable energy infrastructure.
Context ∞ The current discussion surrounding Distributed Energy Resources involves their increasing integration with blockchain technology for transparent and efficient energy trading. A critical future development includes the tokenization of energy credits and the creation of peer-to-peer energy markets. News frequently reports on pilot projects demonstrating how these resources can stabilize grids and democratize energy access.
