Microgrid Community Benefits – Tribal, City and Utility Case Studies

C4
Microgrids

This session will examine various microgrid case studies demonstrating the community benefits microgrids can bring. One case study will examine the role of microgrids as a critical component of a broad tribal Energy Sovereignty plan to bring energy resilience.  Another will examine two Microgrid Community Resiliency Hubs, and their role in providing site resiliency, neighborhood support, and workforce education and training.  The final will focus on a utility sponsored microgrid, and the various benefits it brings to the surround community.

This will be an informative and interactive session, with representatives from each of the microgrid use cases present to present and discuss their unique perspectives.
