In this interview, Frank Berring, Senior Director of New Business Development joins Trish Moratto, Senior Communications Manager, to discuss why Stability Services are essential for the future of clean energy and how SMA is leading the way with advanced inverter technologies. What you&#039;ll learn in this video: What stability services are and why they matter How SMA\u2019s large-scale inverter solutions deliver essential grid-support functions Why developers and project stakeholders need to care about grid stability now How stability services unlock interconnection, hosting capacity and grid resilience What developers can do today to stay ahead of evolving interconnection requirements As conventional generators retire, the responsibility for stabilizing the grid shifts to IBRs. Frank breaks down how features like fault ride through, inertia response, and voltage support are already being delivered through SMA technology, and why it\u2019s time to rethink how projects are designed and valued. Whether you&#039;re a developer, EPC, grid operator or policy stakeholder, this conversation will help you understand where the market is going and how to prepare for what\u2019s next. \ud83d\udd17 Learn more about SMA\u2019s stability services and large-scale solutions at www.sma-america.com \ud83d\udce9 Have questions or want to connect with Frank?
