About PEER
Supporting grid modernization efforts worldwide
PEER is the first ever rating system that drives market transformation in the power and energy sectors. Through certification, PEER recognizes industry leaders for improving efficiency, day-to-day reliability and overall resiliency when it comes to severe events, such as flooding and hurricanes. PEER is for all power systems and includes guidance for cities, utilities, campuses and transit.
Across the world, PEER-certified projects are improving campus and community resilience.
PEER certification
Demonstrate your project's value with PEER
PEER is a rating system that evaluates a power system’s performance across categories:
Reliability and resiliency

Energy efficiency and environment
Grid services
Innovation and Exemplary Performance
Regional Priority
How PEER works
Projects can become certified by achieving a minimum set of requirements and score under the PEER rating system. There are four levels of certification, designating how well a project is performing. PEER certification can become a tool with which to demonstrate value to investors, identify opportunities for improvement and implement those (including through clean energy procurement), and drive larger market change. Precertification is also available as an optional step in the process.
