Seattle June DER Meetup

​This meetup is a space for people interested in distributed energy resources who come together to discuss, learn, and collaborate.  This is intended to be an starting point for monthly meetups and events to discuss the evolution of DERs both locally in the PNW and more globally.  If you are involved in or interested in the development, financing, operation, policy creation, or just want to learn about how we relate to energy, please join us!

​What are the goals? 

• ​Create connections and drive discussion for scaling DERs

• ​Share resources and ideas 

• ​Discuss group style, platforms, and plans

• ​Collaborate future events, hackathons, and collaborations 

​What should I know?
