Building a cost-effective, flexible energy system

Turn distributed energy into reliable, affordable grid capacity with value orchestration

Electron provides the technology that helps distribution utilities and network operators see, coordinate, and prove the value of distributed energy resource flexibility – building a cost-efficient, flexible energy system for all.

Why value orchestration matters

A changing grid needs connected data, markets, and proof that DER flexibility delivers

As electrification accelerates, utilities face more variability, congestion, and costs, but still work with fragmented data and disconnected tools that struggle to quantify DER value.

Electron enables the value orchestration that connects those systems, making distributed flexibility visible, verifiable, and actionable.

THE TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND VALUE ORCHESTRATION

Electron combines grid-aware analytics and flexibility market coordination tools to help utilities use distributed flexibility more effectively.
