EMerge Alliance Membership Benefits

Membership in EMerge Aliance provides you with the opportunity to engage in the development and adoption of distributed, clean energy microgrids in a new “Grid of Grids” architecture. As a member of EMerge Alliance, your company can take advantage of participating in Standards committees, speaking opportunities at RE+ Events and webinars, discounts on RE+ Events’ exhibit space, and more.

Your company’s engagement is essential to shaping the conversation, moving the industry forward, impacting how connectivity standards are developed for this fast-growing market. Our committees are seeking your input and expertise as we work to accelerate and shape the future of microgrid standardization. Joining as a member of EMerge today will ensure your company has a seat at the table in these important discussions.

EMerge Alliance standards will bring unprecedented design and space flexibility. They will provide new options to reduce energy usage, along with improved sustainability. Commercial building interiors will never be the same when they begin delivering safe DC power.
