What is a microgrid?
Microgrids are small-scale power grids that operate independently to generate electricity for a localized area, such as a university campus, hospital complex, military base or geographical region.
The good, the bad, and the unplugged: Community reactions and key
Ultimately, the future of microgrids does not just lie with the technology; effective community engagement will also be necessary for these new microgrids to be welcomed into the old grid.
Why Microgrids
Because time is of the essence in bringing greater resilience to the electric grid, a coalition of leading energy and technology companies formed Think Microgrid in 2021 to address the inherent barriers to microgrids
