Ecosuite And Ecogy Energy Launch Pilot To Modernize DC's Grid With Advanced DER Technology


(MENAFN- PR Newswire)

WASHINGTON, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecosuite, a leading provider of grid-interactive software for distributed energy resources (DERs), has been selected alongside project partner, Ecogy Energy, to participate in the District of Columbia Public Service Commission's (DCPSC) Solar Aggregation and Advanced Inverter Pilot Project . The pilot is a part of DCPSC's broader PowerPath DC initiative aimed at creating a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy system for the District.

Through this groundbreaking pilot, Ecosuite will provide secure, digital infrastructure to leverage dynamic advanced inverter attributes and enable other real-time, two-way communication and control across Ecogy-owned sites in Washington, D.C. The pilot will demonstrate these capabilities across an array of DERs including solar PV, building load flexibility, battery energy storage and EV charging stations. This effort aims to increase solar hosting capacity, reduce interconnection costs, and demonstrate the value of DERs as flexible grid assets.

"This pilot shows what's possible when open-source innovation meets public policy and utility leadership," said Joel Santisteban , CEO of Ecosuite. "We're excited to demonstrate how flexible DER assets can be securely aggregated to enhance grid reliability and lower costs across the District."

The project is being carried out in close collaboration with PEPCO , the region's electric utility and Exelon subsidiary, and guided by a diverse Governance Board representing community, environmental, and industry stakeholders.

The outcomes of the pilot will help inform future grid planning and interconnection policy. By demonstrating that advanced DERs can increase resiliency and support decarbonization, while benefiting ratepayers, the pilot has the potential to scale across the District and beyond.
