Are community-based multi-user microgrids a viable solution?

In particular, community-based multi-user microgrids are emerging as a viable solution. Community multi-user microgrids are characterized by a set of contiguous loads and energy exporting resources connected using a section of the local utility distribution grid to form a microgrid within a defined electrical boundary8.

What is a community-owned microgrid?

For instance, community-owned microgrids may outsource the planning, construction, and operation of the system . In such cases, even though the community has ownership, the decision-making and control might be distributed across external actors .

How can we help communities build and operate microgrids?

Using our technical, regulatory and policy expertise on community energy systems, we can assist these communities to build and operate microgrids. This website provides vital information on microgrid planning, design, and other relevant aspects (business models, policy and regulatory aspects).
