READ MOREA microgrid could provide up to 12 days of autonomy with solar generation, or two days from just battery power. For residents with electric vehicles and heat pumps, utility bills would drop by 10% to 19% because the technologies are more energy efficient. Communitywide emissions would drop by 22% to 44% with the microgrid.

READ MOREMicrogrids are emerging as a key tool for resilience. As of January 2019 we tracked 2,430 operational microgrids across the United States, developed by 187 developers. Most of those 187 developers* have only developed one project, and many of them are also the end customer. But 17 of them are not customers, and can claim at least

READ MOREFor instance, in Bonaire, the microgrid development was a direct consequence of hurricanes and wildfire that presented the impetus to rebuild the electric grid structure using microgrid. Kodiak Island microgrid in Alaska reached 99% renewable electricity integration in 2014 and is one of the larger microgrid systems to serve and
READ MOREA microgrid is a group of interconnected loads and distributed energy resources within clearly defined electrical boundaries that acts as a single controllable entity with respect to the grid.2 A microgrid can operate in either grid-connected or in island mode, including entirely of-grid applications. Figure 1 shows one example of a microgrid.
