Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) for Commercial Buildings in New England
Boost Resilience. Lower Costs. Gain Control.

As power outages and energy costs rise across New England, more commercial businesses are turning to Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) to take control of their energy future.
At FM Generator, we specialize in designing and deploying custom DER solutions for commercial buildings throughout the Northeast. Whether you want to reduce energy costs, earn utility incentives, or protect your operations from grid failure, our expert team delivers the right energy system for your facility.


What Are Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)?

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are on-site or near-site energy systems that reduce reliance on the traditional utility grid. DERs empower your commercial building with:

  • Backup power during utility outages to keep operations running smoothly

  • Reduced demand charges and lower energy bills through efficient energy use

  • Eligibility for demand response and incentive programs offered by utilities

  • Greater energy independence and sustainability to meet ESG goals


Common Types of DERs We Install

1. Commercial Solar Systems

  • Generate clean, renewable energy on-site

  • Offset utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint

2. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

  • Store power for peak demand periods or grid outages

  • Enable load shifting and optimize time-of-use energy costs

3. Commercial Backup Generators

  • Available in diesel, propane, and natural gas options

  • Provide critical power for essential business operations during blackouts

4. Microgrid Integration

  • Coordinate all energy resources into one smart, automated system

  • Enable islanding capabilities for full grid independence


Why DERs Make Business Sense for New England Businesses

  • Cost Savings: Significantly lower energy bills and demand charges

  • Increased Reliability: Avoid downtime caused by grid failure

  • Incentives & Rebates: Benefit from federal, state, and utility funding programs

  • Sustainability Goals: Achieve ESG targets and enhance your company’s green image
