Market your microgrids. Grow your business.

This white paper assembles lessons learned from the six community microgrids successfully operating today in North America. These leading practices can help microgrid developers and service providers work with communities, utilities, regulators, and others to enhance resilience to wildfires and extreme weather.

In many jurisdictions, financial, institutional (regulatory and legal), and perceptional issues limit community microgrid adoption. This white paper suggests leading practices that microgrid developers and service providers can implement to mitigate these barriers.

To enhance resilience to wildfires and extreme weather, an “oasis” community microgrid can provide a central community refuge during these events. Yet it faces several regulatory and institutional barriers. This white paper describes the feasibility of this potential superhero of microgrids.
