Powering the Future: What is DERMS and How Can It Benefit You? Part 1

Welcome to the first episode of Co-op Conversations with DEMCO! In this episode, we’re breaking down the basics of DERMS—what it stands for, how it works, and why DEMCO is exploring this smart technology to benefit our members.

Our host, David Latona, DEMCO’s Director of Communications and Governmental Affairs, sits down with Jeff Andry, Chief Strategy & Regulatory Officer, to talk about how energy is evolving—from a one-way power flow to a more dynamic, two-way system. This evolving model is supplemented by member-owned resources like smart thermostats, solar panels, and home generators, which have the potential to reduce demand on the grid—especially during peak times.

You’ll learn how programs like DERMS can help keep your energy more reliable, your bill more affordable, and our community stronger—especially during times of high demand. Let’s dive in!
