Sparkfund is a mid-sized utility services company based in Washington, D.C., with more than a decade of experience supporting the deployment of distributed energy resources. It provides planning, deployment, and dispatch services that move DERs from the grid edge toward integrated grid operation, enabling utilities to meet load growth while controlling costs. The company uses a Distributed Capacity Procurement model to support program design, assessment of DER grid value, host engagement, and value chain management to ensure on-time, on-budget deployment with maximum grid value. Its track record includes over 3,200 deployments across 43 states and more than 300 MW energized, turning buildings into a grid-relevant resource for utilities and building owners. In March 2026, Sparkfund helped launch Utilise, a collaborative effort with other industry players to advance distributed energy resource deployment.
