only eight winners of microgrid engineering and project management grants in Round One of the nation's first Microgrid Grant (State of Connecticut) for the Town of Windham.

DERP TECH's ""SAFE HAVEN MICROGRID(tm) FOR SCHOOLS"" model provides scalable replication opportunities for improving community energy resilience. We desire to rapidly design/build multiple Safe Haven-style sheltering facilities for communities, schools and businesses across America.

DERP TECH's business model captures the spirit of America's growing interest in energy resiliency and community energy ownership. We offer local and regional energy assurance plans, comprehensive feasibility studies, grant writing and technical decision support.

Regional-scale energy security and resiliency projects benefit from our interconnection systems and device designed for use at the substation-level of local electrical distribution systems to enable injection of more clean, local power to serve local loads. DERP TECH's PCU, a Power Continuity Unit, manages and controls critical-load profiling, load shedding of non-critical loads and integration of local power and storage sources as needed to keep power on at a network of local critical infrastructure operations and sheltering facilities.

DERP TECH provides educational and training programs for planning commissioners,, elected officials, peers, regulators and utility executives in support of the energy security, economic and environmental value and benefits of microgrids and distributed generation.

Growth strategies include strategic partnerships with industry leaders in power control electronics and community energy resiliency systems.
