Fact Sheets + Webinars
This section of Microgrids.io presents a series of Fact Sheets and associated Webinars that provide quick explanations of a series of critical challenges currently facing the successful procurement and financing of local government microgrids. The content for the Fact Sheets and Webinars draws directly from findings of a multi-year research project – focused on local government microgrids – undertaken by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities with financial support from the United States Department of Energy.
The Fact Sheets provide summary overview information that is further unpacked in each associated Webinar. The Fact Sheet/Webinar topics include the following:
- Current Status & Challenges
- Procurement Challenges
- Financing Challenges
- Public Policy Challenges
- EDC Challenges
- Technology Challenges
- Other Challenges
- Moving Beyond the Challenges
- Stakeholder Meeting Special Presentation
- An additional presentation – Developing Town Center Microgrids – provides an overview and summation of the multiple challenges discussed in the Fact Sheets and their associated, single topic Webinars. The presentation was delivered at the final stakeholder meeting held for the research project.
